Best stock muffler or quiet alternative

By ghskid06
- Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:16 am #237804 Im looking for a good flowing muffler that doesnt sound like all the other cars ive had. I do t mind a little noise but no more fart cans. Is there a decent enough stock miffler from honda/acura that wont limit airflow? If not what is a good alternative?

- Thu Feb 10, 2011 3:22 am #237836 I'm with si-b16. ITR axle back is the way to go if you want a quiet OEM muffler that will outperform all other stock mufflers that are a direct bolt-on for Civics and Integras.

If you could somehow get it to line up and fit properly, an S2000 muffler would do wonders as well. But good luck on that one...

- Thu Feb 10, 2011 3:14 pm #237915 how much of the difference is between GSR and ITR axlebacks? they both have similiar engine setups so I would imagine that they have very similar axlebacks - if so then GSR mufflers are cheaper..

No similarity. I'm pretty sure the GSR and LS axle backs are the same except for the tip.

I would believe the ITR oem muffler id is 2.25" withthe GSR and LS Being a 2.0" ID.
