SuperNewbie Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew the legal issues with exhaust in Ontario, Canada. I wanted to get an exhaust system that didnt sound too loud so that I dont get pulled over by the cops. Im looking for one with a good tone that is semi loud. Which brand should I get for an exhaust system if I am looking for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannaBstuntin Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Should be a D17A2 Go on youtube and find one you like the sound of. Otherwise, get a custom exhaust made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Injection Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Just go to a local exhaust shop and have them build you one. Get a Magnaflow muffler, they make a honda sound less like a weedeater doing work to a pepsi can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 david that was the dumbest statement ive ever heard... have you ever heard a hks exhaust on a honda before? theyre deep and throaty until you get on it and it sounds like sex. friend of mine has one on his boosted EP3.. most of the cars that sound like as$ are the ones with custom exhuasts and an axle back welded on.. they need resonators.. i say but full catback in either apex'i, tanabe, or greddy.. youll be happy.. and if you want to hear sound clips go on youtube, its too easy.. youve been told 3 times now.. or check the company's website.. i know HKS has sound clips of their exhausts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 eh i was multitasking, so it got put a little backwards. should be more like this magnaflow>greddy/HKS>apexi>custom made exhaust>whatever else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperNewbie Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 So I should get a cat-back system not an axle back to get a good sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 yes, almost every axleback exhausts ive heard sounds like a pissed off overgrown weedwacker against a tin can.. rasp FTL i have a resonator on my exhaust and i dont think it sounds bad at all.. part of the reason im soo loud is because i have a test pipe welded to my exhaust so im cat free..

SpeedDemon Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 either cat back or open headers. other wards just stay stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 magnaflow:: apex'i N1:: greddy evo 2:: tanabe hyper medallion:: megan racing:: theres a few.. now stop bein lazy and look on youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 either cat back or open headers. other wards just stay stock open header FTL, i ran open header on my sol when it was both D and B series.. its WAY too loud and EVERYTHING vibrates.. i was dizzy from driving on the interstate at 80 mph for 15 minutes.. DO NOT run open header unless you like attention from cops and to sound like a sh!tty racecar vid of open header, this is about what you would sound like:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thermal R&D cat back will give you the same performance as the rest but is probably the quietest of the bunch. That's what I'm going with on my gsr hatch if I ever pick that project up again. Dude those were awesome ramps that guy made with the open header 4door. A couple 2x10 planks, a saw, and some really long screws.....genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 get whatever looks good to you, if it's too loud, go to a muffler shop and install a resonator if it doesnt already have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
