Integra exhaust

are there soundclips of this larger resonator delete?

Videos of my FL5 with the large res deleted and fuse mod done (all other mufflers/resonators in situ)

This gives you the "noise" of the ITS however doesn't provide the programmed crackles in Sport Mode which is from the ECU ignition/fuel mapping.

I would imagine deleting the smaller res (closer to the front pipe) and keeping the larger res would result in a milder/quieter noise output.

I deleted the same thing and have the valve open as well ever thought about deleting the front one too??

What is the drone like with the large resonator delete? That would be my main concern with this mod.

It’s honestly not that bad little to no drone and I have the active valve open, so I’m sure with the active valve how it comes oem it’s even less

I have - however I fear it will be too noisy for daily duties/conversing with my passengers

Its IMO right on the limit of acceptability for me. When I'm by myself in the car its fine, I would even like it to be louder at times - however with passengers trying to conversate I do find myself finding a higher gear on the regular. But I would say the noise/drone level be no worse than any available exhaust system on the market today..
On the highway going 100-110km/h in 6th gear its no problem at all. Very quiet.
The main resonance occurs on the overrun at around 3-3.5K rpm where the noise *could* be considered irritating at times.
I should try to refit the exhaust flap fuse to see if it will eliminate that resonant reverberation.

I tried it with the fuse back on the and it quiets it a lot but I wish in R Mode it kept it open so I wouldn’t have to be pulling the fuse everytime I want it louder lol

is it kind of too loud with the fuse out and too quiet with the fuse in? maybe removing both resonators with the fuse in might be the answer

Damn you might be on to something

I feel like we need a table for all this

	Valve Open Fuse Mod	Normal Valve Operation
Front Res Delete	Note: Somewhere between the mid res delete and no delete, doesn't adds the pops from the ITS Sound Clip: here Thoughts: Think this is going to just come down to preference, be interesting if people do this with a hondata tune to add the pops	Note: Hasn't Been Done yet, @TheTopher plans to Post Sound Clip: None Yet Thoughts: None Yet
Mid Res Delete	Note: quite a few have done this referencing @tezzasaurusrex Sound Clip: Link to his post with clips Thoughts: Sounds good, no real pops but some gurgles. Might be too loud for daily	Note: Not sure if we have sound clips of this or not but here is a link to @BLUFL5CTR thoughts on it Post Sound Clip: None That I know of Thoughts: Seems this is not loud enough but probably better for daily
Both Deleted	Note: Hasn't been done and no current plans that I've seen to do it Sound Clip: None Yet Thoughts: This is likely going to be very loud an probably not very desirable	Note: Hasn't been done and no current plans that I've seen to do it Sound Clip: None Yet Thoughts: This may be a really good in between option and would love to see someone try
Baseline	Note: Most common mod here @TheTopher has a great writeup on how to do this Sound Clip: Tophers youtube video Thoughts: Wakes up a little bit in the lower rev range but not a huge difference, no drone	Note: Vacuum cleaner Sound Clip: Vacuum cleaner Thoughts: Vacuum cleaner

I'll try and keep this updated as more of these options are tried!

if this isnt progress idk what is... LOL a bunch of us all after the same goal with the oem exhaust. I find it hilarious. but this is great.

 

[D.I.P.]

I am really tempted to just order some 2.5" stainless tubing & a few V-clamps and then fire up the 'ol tig welder in the garage so that I can easily swap the OEM resonators in and out of the car to try every different combination...

Thank you for making this table! One small suggestion... rename the columns so it's more clear that you're referencing the "valve" open mod, assuming that's what you're talking about. Maybe "Valve Open Fuse Mod" vs. "Normal Valve Operation"?
