cat con normally comes on fuel injection cars. carbs don't.

bro.... do u have any S-flow mid box that has 2.25" or 2.5" inlet...but can still maintain low noise? something like this...



coz i am gonna modify it like this...



...to fit on my EF2 hatchback. my current modified Tanabe Limit already burok... haih.

will give small review when i receive and install it. thanks.

Received the muffler! But no time to install yet... maybe will do this Friday or Saturday.

ya... the midbox is fine... but the box got koyak-koyak a bit. i think the wrapping plastic did save it from getting scratched

As promised, I'm going to give a small feedback on my purchase.



I have installed this custom made 2.4" (inlet) mid box onto my B16A Civic EF hatchback as my rear muffler. I'm using the exhaust tip from my previous Tanabe muffler which was torn at the sides due to aging. The midbox was installed locally at William Exhaust, Miri.

Honda Civic EF2 hatchback
B16A 160ps DOHC VTEC
Exhaust setup:
- stock header
- 2.5" piping front to back, stock piping route
- one 2.5"(IN) bullet silencer in the center
- custom made 2.4"(IN) midbox
- Tanabe Limit 2.3"(IN), 4"(OUT) exhaust tip

The exhaust noise is low, matches my previous Tanabe sound quality. However, pickup is much smoother due to bigger inlet. It was very silent at idle, hardly hear any noise at all except for a very little wind-humming. My engine and external fuel pump is noisier than my exhaust....hehe.

When revved at static car position, it produces a fat 'bassy' sound. Cruising between 2000~3000rpm is very quiet like normal uncle's car. Fat sound at wide open throttle and very sweet sound when VTEC on ...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~

Here are some sound samples I took this morning. The first one is cold start idle (at around 1200~1300rpm), and the second one is at optimal operation temp idle (at around 600~700rpm).

Cabin noise is much lower as well, compare to last time

Don't have it currently. But last weekend I did sprint test with my cuzz's AE92 20v blacktop. The exhaust got fat exhaust sound instead of 'rempit sound' like most N1 type muffler, but I think my intake sound is louder la... ehehehe.

Performance wise, personally I feel some gain at top end since the custom midbox has bigger inlet compare to my previous Tanabe. Pickup I'm not too sure, but the exhaust does sound smoother.

Oh one more thing.... no more 'backfire' sound if I throttle-off after speeding.
