So I hate the sound that the owners of 1980's hondas with a quick muffler have that are raspy as hell and high pitched and well....ricey.
problem.
More often than I can deal with my exhaust does that I've got a magnaflow on my aveo so im thinking that the issue, what brand exhaust will fix this and if you can even tell me what model that would be great, I want that rich low tone with that raspy ricey sound.
It honestly has nothing to do with the muffler. That sound all comes from the piping and the resonator/cat you use...
Use a 2.25" piping with cat and resonator and you'll be fine...
^if you want to loose torque....Quote:

i got 2.25" and got plenty of torqueQuote:

However I disagree with the 2.25" piping, anything over 2" and you'll get problems with the sound, it'll sound like someone breathing through a straw that has a few drops of water in it.
I have 2" and it's fine, but when I make the final product (with better pipes, tip, welding and bending... Yes my exhaust setup is not final, I still have to fine tune it a bit more), I might think about going to 1.75" piping.
i got the stock size pipe on mine and its ok, want to go bigger tho, 2" to the cat, and 2.25 back....Quote:

You probably want to go the other way around. 2.25 Cat and 2 inch exhaut. The cat is usually the most restrictive piece.Quote:

a little bit down on this thread a person by the name of Froth uses a formula to help calculate around what size exhaust an n/a engine needs to be effiecent.
area=3.14159265 x 1 x 1 = 3.14159265 in sq
3.14159265"sq x 115cfm = 361.28315475cfm of capable flow
then you divide that by 2.2hp per cfm which equals 164.22 hp, therefore a 2" exhaust will theoretically flow enough to meet the needs of a 164.22hp engine before youstart fighting the exhaust restriction....hard bends also play a factor in this but considering our engine barely makes over 100hp to the crank i think 2" is plently
+1
I heard somewhere a non mandrel bend (crush bend) higher than 45 degrees is about the same as changing pipe diameter by about 1/4 inch.
