I have a 2.5" custom catback.

When I had it made, I decided to drop the resonator. Since then my car has been a little louder and i notcied that 5/6th gears pull a bit harder on the highway.

Recently, the sound has gotten annoying so I put the stock resonator back on. Now I am back to quiet.

My question is, is there a resonator that will still give me that power boost and keep my exhaust quiet?

 

I was under the impression that resonators didnt lose you any power...

 

Get a straight through resonator. Like a glass packed one. Run around $30.

Dixit

 

I can definatly feel the power loss in the highway.

 

Thats interesting. Maybe you're getting some turbulance with the resonator on??

 

Maybe its in your head smoky.

 

maybe it felt like it because of the sound?

I was at Dons house (PearlMax) and he put a Tsunami (sp?) catback on his 2003 accord, that thing sounds NICE!

Does anyone know if they make exhausts for our maximas?

 

By the way, welcome back!

I would not think you would loose no more than 1hp.
Some good old fashoned phone work. Call some people like Borla
or Edelbrock. If you can manage to get to the right person, they will tell you the best one.

 

I guess it's the butt dyno...hmmm

Now if only my exhaust would sound like Dons...WOW almost like a firarri but moderate-quiet
