My exhaust is pretty loud and tryin to look for a solution. I read about the ECV and makes the exhaust quieter. ECV goes right after the Cat. While reading that and thinking, if you are restricting the airflow in the exhaust, where does the rest of the air goes that being blocked? Could this really damage the engine since it a restricted airflow so it has to go somewhere...

One more thing, what size it is the pipe that goes to the Cat then into Y-pipe connection? 61mm?

 

you could try a silencer...

 

i never like the looks of the silencer on the exhaust.

 

What kind if exhaust do you have?

 

5zigen fireball

 

you can't see them unless you look in the tailpipe. Your only other option is getting a different exhaust.

 

5zigen is one of the more quiet exhausts out there. If you want something quieter, maybe consider just doing some tips like magnaflow's.

As for the ECV, i have always that about the effect it had as well. Some of my friends ran them and didn't have any problems though.

 

or you could just paint the silencer black like i did on my civic

 

add some resonators and be done with it.

 

if you dont like your 5zigen then sell it and get a stock exhaust with tips.

5zigen is quite and looks great. i doubt you will find anything quieter.

 

I love the looks on the 5zigen. For reason ppl say it quiet, but mine is loud. People tell me that all the time. It has stock resonators. I think i might try this ecv and hope it works.

 

they work, ive used them in 240, with sr, with the valve closed you dont hear as much of the deep droned out exhaust note, more engine noise,

 

Thanks mptjimmy...

Does anyone know what size after the Cat connects to the Y-pipe?
