hi, if i changed the muffler, should i change the resonator and the pipe too?

i think my resonator is about time to be replace, cause its making vibration sound inside when i step on the has, so is it necessary to replace?

also if i just replace the 2.25" pipe, resonator and muffler after the cat, like the mid section to the end, is it good enough?

by the way, i have a 98 civic ex!!

thanks you!!

If you just change your muffler, you will essentially only be changing the sound of your car. I had the muffler shop make a full catback exhaust because usually universal mufflers come with 2" pipe coming out of them and your stock piping is smaller than that.

I'd go catback if I were you and just have them put a resonator inline.

so, should i put a resonator on it or just leave it as straight pipe?

Personal preference. If you want your exhaust quieter, use a resonator. If you're a riceboy and want it loud, leave the resonator out.

just buy a catback system w/ the resonator in it... quiet is good. rice bad. thats for eating

is the stock exhast pipe and resonator better than the 2.25" customized pipe in those muffler shop?

thanks you!!

should i stay with the stock pipe or the 2.25" pipe?
