Fed Up!

Okay so I am fed up with my exhaust. I hate it it gets so whiney around 3000 rpm. it is almost like a popcorn popper on crack! I hate it is there anything I can do to make it shut the F$%K up? Maybe I should just go back to stock! Maybe it is because I have no cat? i have header and 2 1/4 inch all the way back if that makes a diff to anyone. Everyone I talk to says to put a resinator in.......:confused:

put a glasspack on it

Take it off and by a different one, get what u can for yours

thats wot i would do

hey what is a glasspack :confused:

glasspack is like a intermediate muffler it's kind of like a chreey bomb
you would cut out a section of your exhaust pipeing a straight section and have that welded in it's place it will make it a little more quiet and maybe get rid of that popcorn sound you were talking about and they do not cost to much around 20 / 60 bucks depending on brand and quality

Toon, I almost garentee you thiat it is because you have no cat on your car, causing that sound. My friend had nothing but 2 1/4 pipping from the exaust manifold to the muffler canister on his 1991 Civic 4 door. The way you describe the sound remids me the way his exaust sounded. Like you, he got fed up with it too, and about a moth later, went back to the exaust shop and got a resinator put on. It sounded A LOT better. This is a pic of his car if that hepls any.

well since we r on the talk about exaust what is a good one to get for a b16a but loud yet cool sounding

Damn, that is one clean ass 4 door :cool:

doesnt a glass pack make the exhaust louder not quieter, cause my friend has them on his bronco and it is loud as fuck so i think u got things mixed up, but it could be me

My old 73 MGBGT (RIP) had 2 glasspacks, one in the middle, and one near the back, and sounded deep as hell, I could set off car alarms so easily with it. It was loud but not unplesent.

haha thats hot i would just roll around rev my engine up high and set off everyones alarm

i think its opposite for import/domestic domestics it makes it loud, imports quieter? anyone correct me if im wrong

all a resinater is, is a glasspack the smaller the the louder

I say use a resonator. or maybe try puttin a cat on, that might get ridda ur whiney noises...

what makes the domestics louder is the fact that they use a glass pack in place of the muff... at least round these parts they do...

yea, jeef is right, if you use the glasspack as a muffler it makes it louder, if you use it as a resonator, it makes it quieter. I had a glasspack on my car for a muffler, and it was louder than hell. Now I got a new exhaust put on and it sounds so much better.

Yea, its probably the lack of CAT, cause all i have on mine is a cat, 2 1/4 piping, and a muffler.

Go to the muffler shop and get a pre-silenser/resonator put in and it will take the raspy sound out of it.

glasspacks and cherrybombs were never meant to be used as the actual muffler, thats just what hillbillys do to kae ther p.o.s. trucks and cars loud as hell, there were meant to be used WITH a muffler.

placed between the cat and the muffler itself to make it more quiet....damn hillbillys

I guess this makes my old MGB a POS and make me and my dad hillbillys :flipa:

This thread gonna be locked too? I guess not because it was a generalization and not aimed at anyones car in piticular.

Hehe, no harm done, I just posted this to prove that everyone here getting offended by shit I do all the time is getting a little lame.

I AM NOT A HILLBILLY!!!!!!!! DAMN YOU AUDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



j/k I admit that was pretty ricer of me when I did that, i just wanted a loud car.Stupid me. Oh well, its all good now. :D

okay well thanks for the input. I am off t the shop to get a resinator put in...and type better than others? i just don't want to draw so much attention. I have been pulled over a couple of times and they said they noticed me bacause of my exhaust. So i will let you know how it turns out!:thumbup:
