Default Muffler question

Im thinking of getting a new muffler put on my 94 accord lx since my stock one looks like a little penis right now. I want something low tone and not loud accept when you rev it up real high (and not real noticable at highway speeds). Like what 94uhkord wants except Im not looking for the full catback, just a muffler.

being you want just a muffler, that kinda limits your options... as MOST universal mufflers are just a straight through design, meaning they are loud... and at highway speeds they resonate inside the car so bad, you'll have a headache after 10 minutes.

I highly recomend saving up some extra money, and get an Apex-i World Sport cat-back system... you'll thank yourself!

as opposed to the stock sound of revving, accelerating, and generally driving, i want my car to sound sporty, much like the true life street racer and other suped up cars

would that WS exhaust give it that sound? or is that generally the sound that gets annoying and causes those headaches in 10 mins?

also, does intake contribute alot to the sound? or is it mostly the muffler or piping etc

My friend has a 94 lx and he had the same situation. He got an RSX-S muffler and had it welded on. Looks good, and he says he likes it. I haven't heard it, but he says he likes it.

I'd say that's a good option for you.

Most aftermarket will be loud unless you get a generic "turbo" muffler at an exhaust shop and have a tip welded on.

Here's his RSX-S:

That sound of the exhaust on the "true life im a street racer" was pretty tight. But im pretty sure that it was more of the motor. I have a 1996 Accord with headers, CAI, Cam gear, exhaust. And my car sounds nothing like that but when I was driving in first not reving staying at 4,000 RPMS I gunned it and the thing mad the meanist sound ever. I love it, haha. But since u have a 03' accord I would get a CAI intake to start with becauze those make a very nice sound. Latz...

whatever you get, put a Silencer on it and thats what you are lookin for. sometimes when i get tired of my "true to life racing note"dmZ i put the silencer on and enjoy a stock like quietness along with a smoother ride (no seat massage from the deepness). otherwise, you can hear the gratness by the link in my sig

That's pretty nice, I wonder if he made some power or if it's any louder.
