So happy with my choices!
That sounds a million times better. Hondas dont sound bad if you get rid of the rasp.
Throw on a turbo, that will get rid of alot of the rasp.
That's not in the cards for his build.
@@GarageBuiltHondas If I was your neighbor I'd record your stupidity and turn it into the cops. Sitting around shitting in your nest spells Major Clown. Take it somewhere else. I build them but I don't race up and down my own neighborhood streets because I don't want to wake up at 3 am look out and see my car doing a patty melt. Exhaust sounds ok just stay out of it in your neighbor hood.
@@Tsalinger we get it your too old to mod cars, you sound like a wet blanket go home its past your bedtime
Lol. That was pretty funny. I'm not sure why he's worried about my neighborhood but I guess, thanks. 😂
I think I can honestly say that this is the best sounding Honda I have ever heard with that Vibrant Performance Resonator/Muffler combo! I was kind of expecting it to sound "ricey" (like a swarm of angry bees or something) like most Hondas with aftermarket cat-back exhausts, but I was pleasantly surprised! That little CRX sounds pretty awesome with that exhaust setup now! It's not too obnoxiously loud at idle or anything, but it has a nice, deep growl to it when you open it up that's not too raspy sounding or anything. This is how ALL Hondas should sound IMO!!
Sounds so much cleaner. Nice tone and no rasp. 👍 I was lucky enough that the last owner had the Dorman piping from autozone put on when he had the B7 replaced with a Jdm Non-Vtec D15B. This just verifies why I want the Vibrant muffler.
Click the link!
Vibrant mufflers hands down are the best for 4 cylinders. Extremely high quality and they don’t break the bank.
Definitely sounds a lot better. No more rasp. And that's some serious trust holding that muffler with bare hands while cutting it open with the sawz all.
🙏😨
Nice work. Vibrant is good stuff. I used a vibrant ultra quiet resonator on my turbo integra with a flowmaster 50 muffler. Very smooth and quiet for cruising.
Vibrant is not an EBay product it is a full fledged company that just sells their products on EBay but also through other retailers. Great products.
I love Vibrant products, very nicely made and sound great!
Racing slow cars is so much more fun then fast cars. I remember the smiles of my younger days
And safer lol
Can't beat that acceleration though
Thanks for the video, finally decided to do it. Today I put a flowmaster 40 and a glasspack resonator on my F23 6GA coupe and it made my life so much better! Before it had a full DNA exhaust system, sounded alot like that CRX did at first. Couldn't handle daily driving like that anymore.
It sounds way better than before....loving it👌👌👌
I love how original you guys are. Not brats that hate on others. (Boosted Bois) just bc I like cars doesn't mean I have to be a sheeple. I recently unsubbed from them. Too cocky know it all's. Lol keep up the great vids
Thanks, that means a lot. I completely understand that I'm just like everyone else out there. I'm not anything special, just here to have some fun, and record the things we are up to and hoping people can enjoy and maybe learn something along the way! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!
Don't forget to add header wrap. Not only for heat control but to keep heat in the exhaust gases for as long as possible. Heat is the lubrication of exhaust flow. Also, over the years I've noticed that it has a tendency to improve the tone on the small 4 bangers. Being in the desert, I extend the wrap as far as I dare. It will promote rust if you put it on an area which will see moisture but there isn't a lot of that here, haha. Of course, with most old Hondas having the exhaust coming out the front of the motor maybe it's less of a good idea.
Very true! No hood exit manifolds here. We drove slow cars. 👍
One of the best sounding honda's I have heard, has a mellow note and not fartie.
Sounds soo much better! Been looking into the Vibrant mufflers/resonator/piping to set up something on my Yaris hatch.
Having a full 2.5in custom tig welded V-band exhaust done on my 01 GsR next week. Yonaka 4-1 header, high flow CAT to Vibrant Ultra Resonator to Vibrant muffler. I'm even more stoked now after listening to this CrX running similar components. I will put a video up, actually my first ever video up lol after it gets done!
Nice, should sound really mean!
@@GarageBuiltHondas hey! Thanks alot man! I'm really excited for it. Love your videos and knowledge, keep up the quality videos!
Done a custom vibrant set up on my Accord years ago and it does high reving Honda engines justice.
I just ordered the same one 2.25 in/out to tone down my flowmaster delta race muffler, it's in the mid muffler with muffler delete & resonator delete, so I believe this resonator will refine the sound
👍
Definitely sounds much better than before
I love the new sound. Its very clean and crisp no rasp. Before I got my 91 si a year and a half ago I used to have an 88HF that I got dirt cheap. It had the stock super tiny diameter piping with the axle back cut off completely. It sounded pretty garbage. All I had room in the budget for was one of these spec D exhausts. I only paid $70 for it I think back in 2013. It lasted me all the way until 2017 so I'd say I got my $70 worth lol. It didn't quite fit right where the tail pipe comes out to the bumper, it was clocked at little higher and ultimately rubbing the bumper so I had to cut, clocked it right, and then welded it back together. Otherwise it wasn't terrible. What's strange though is I hit a pretty beefy armadillo one night omw back from Dalles and with the car power than stock it smacked the muffler and completely caved it in, when I looked under it i saw inside the muffler was I believe fiberglass or something so muffle the sound down. It remained fairly quiet even though it was damaged. I ended up getting rid of that car and once I bought the 91 si I kind of fell into the same situation with the stock exhaust lol. This time around I didn't want to get another spec D, I saved a little ended up with a brand new invidia N1. I've been in love with it ever since
You probably had one of the nice ones where they actually used packing inside the mufflers.
The Invidia one is nice sounding, I just don't like how it comes out crooked. It throws me off.
That vibrant sounds 100% better! I think the reso helped kill the rasp a bit too.
I have a ebay canister on my accord, but still stock piping up to it. It doesn't sound bad at all, no fart no rasp, but I've got some drone around 2k that I want to deal with, so I'm gonna add a reso or 2,
Nice!
4:40 BRAVO! BRAVO! well done guys. proper Honda exhaust note. on to the next.
*my H22a swapped cb9 is back on the road. If 1 person asks I promise to make a video of it. lol
Thanks buddy!!
Let's see it!
I spit my water when I saw the trash can scene 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Fantastic video! Thank you for your support!
Absolutely, thanks for the comment!!
This made up my mind. I already have a vibrant resonator I just put on. I'm gonna pick up one of these mufflers for my del sol. I have a crx the same color but it sounds much better with my magnaflow the same way you've had this muffler mounted. Keep it up guys!
👍
hands down easily the best sounding muffler and resonator combo
Agree
I literally have the exact muffler and resonator on my turbo d16 Vitara turbo build, get complements all the time and I love the way it sounds.
Had this setup on my 89 crx si back in 07. Loved it!
Used this combo on my 2013 Honda Civic, it doesn’t sound bad and it makes loud pops, I haven’t even tuned it
One sawzall.. One bare hand.. One flip flop.. who will win? 😂
Oh shit that's funny!
The new muffler sounds so much better. I ended up with a tanabe on mine and I'm pleased, but it's on the expensive side.
Vibrant sounds way better before sounded like a bunch of bees with a loud speaker hooked up to them.
Nothing sounds like a V8 but this is better than most 4 bangers sound. Honest impression from an old school V8 guy. Give me headers and a nice pair of cherry bombs and I'm in heaven.
Thanks for the input!
Huge improvement! " In the bin" with that ebay junk 👍 Great content guys, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Oh yeah sounds a million times better. I need to get a vibrant resonator for my del sol to clear up the last bit of rasp I have
I like the one you installed, it still sounds clean!
I've been impressed with vids on cars running vibrant mufflers. saw a chick with a v8 and vibrant mufflers on the back. she deleted the resonator, two small mufflers and the two larger rearmost mufflers...her piping from the cats to the mufflers in the back was straight piped! I like vibrant because there was no rasp like this civic had in loads, and it was just low/deep rumbling, like the new exhaust on this civic. it's really hard to make an n/a 4cyl not sound like butt
Watch this video when I get bored. Always fun to watch. Also, Always surprised how well the D16 CRX hangs with the B16 EM1. Decent weight difference and 2 people in EM1, but....still!
I changed the muffler tip on mine to a bigger and it still sounds amazing even tho every exhaust component is still stock
Nice!
That was cool sounding in the 90s a lot of noise was cool! Now it sounds super sick!
Right, that noise is terrible now
Love that sound 😎 I miss mine already. . Gonna he awhile. Downtime
Poop. We'll see you running again soon!
For all those who want to cut open their "OLD HOLLOW STAINLESS EBAY MUFFLERS"..... don't do it this way!!!!
Carefully cut this sides off around the outer body, so you can repack it with volcanic mineral wool "Rockwool" from home improvement center, & re-weld it, & make a better muffler than you can ever buy! Just be sure it has an inner perforated tube with many perforations. Or, use hi-end o.e. style expandable muffler fill called "Acousta-Fil Exhaust Silencer Packing" that comes I a few different quilted variations & also sold for motorcycle muffler packing also sold on eBay......!
Sounds 1000 times better
The exhaust sounds good and nice little runs there! I like the classic auto license plate as well. I need one of those for the sedan
Free!
Garage Built Hondas it’s free? I will look into that!
Yes, when registering your car you just need to apply for it!
Just wanted to say, the wheels on the rex are backwards. If you look on the inside of the wheel. It'll say L and R. For left side and right side. Just incase you didn't know. Plus itll aid in brake cooling
He has them on correctly, yes rhe have the stamps on the wheel under the centercap area. 👍
True. Si alloy wheels are directional.
Just like the old Dodge 'Pumper' wheels of the early 1990's.
Good catch!
🤔 I think I might have gotten them confused with the other style si rims. Whoops. Keep up the good work
It's ok, easy mistake to make with many oem wheels looking like this, and even some of the hubcap ones too.
Have to hand it to you... nailed it on this setup! My GSR swapped CRX rallycar project has never sounded better, so thanks a ton for the advice & I'm subbed now so I can catch up on your other content 👍
Love it, glad this worked out for you!
I might try a similar set up on my Honda CR-Z. That last "muffler" you cut open at the end just made me think, what a fart can. haha
Really is exactly that too
Great job!
This is something I'm about to take on with my recently acquired EG. It has a crappy ebay exhaust and it rattles and is doing it's best to rust out as quickly as possible. Time to rectify that issue.
👍
I have full 3 inch to the vibrant stealth muffler. Love the way it sounds 🤘🏻
same setup on my prelude sounds great but done at 65mph is killing me.
I bet it sounds tough!
@@charleywaynehinkle6358 you need a resonators they stop bass at certain rpm.
@@Shelboooooo yeah i got vibrant ultra quiet resonator on it. Its just not enough
@@charleywaynehinkle6358 How big is the diameter of the muffler?
Thanks for sharing this, I’ve been searching for an upgrade for my Integra. The stock muffler is toast, and wanted something with a clean sound, without that “ricer rasp”.
I’m pretty confident this is what I’m going to go with to replace the stock muffler that’s made out of un-atainium. At least around me, and I don’t mind a less than stock sound either. 👍🏻👍🏻
It'll sound clean for sure. If you can afford, look at a Tanabe Medallion. Those sound fantastic!
when the box its empty actually it attenuate sound at specific range frequency, amplitude of intensity and harmonic (depends on geometry of the box) they called it expansion chamber.. and if there is perforated pipe inside then it replace porous medium to broaden the bandwidth noise attenuation (also depend on its design)
Thanks. Whatever it is, it sounds like trash.
@@GarageBuiltHondas wc... yes it is sound rubbish hahahahaha
I have got a vibrant 2,5", the short one on my car. Cat - vibrant resonator - exhaust cutout. I thought it would still be crazy loud and just got the vibrant to get rid of some drone and vibrations. BUT, the thing is extremely powerful for its size. Honestly it makes the car a bit too quiet almost and thats with only the vibrant and nothing else besides the cat. But maybe it will get a bit louder the more i drive it... i hope so at least
Damn night and day difference I like it👌🏾👌🏾
That sounds waaaaay better. Get choice with the setup!
Sounds much better than the ebay one. The ebay one was to sharp. Too ricey
1:44 had me Rollin...
Seriously though! Eww
Sounds less rice, love it.
For sure!
that sounds really good. thats the next thing that i wanna do to the ebay exhaust i have on my crx ive already replaced the muffler with a magnaflow
Jon I’ll get a before and after video and send it to you through Instagram if that’s cool with you.
Of course!
Crx drives by in video and I'm thinking to myself "man, that sounds like booty." And then you say "that sounds like booty." 👍
😂😁
I have the vibrant on my EJ1 coupe. Sounds less raspy but I want it to be even less noisy. Maybe I'll add that resonator as well:)
You need the resonator to get this style sound.
can u send the link of the vibrant here pls i want it on mine aswell
Link in description.
Sounds way better after 👍
Beautiful sky
"Classic auto" my ex had one in high school😰 guess I'll need a walker soon... 😒
I just got the vibrant today foe 220 with install love it
Running the Vibrant Stealth on my 99 Sentra. Sounds good AF. Good choice!
👍
beautiful work!
👍
Sounds way better than the Ebay one
Send it lol that race was close lol pretty intense!!,great video like always lol #stillmyNeighbor#GBH4LIFE
Sounds way better
I can’t believe how much better that thing sounds and it’s only like 200 bucks
Marked improvement, sounded like someone playing a trombone before lol
Big time
I miss my 91 Civic SI Hatch
Get another!
Man that sounds good. I have the exact same car and color and everything. I have to totally do this to mine...love that lower tone!
👍
Yeah sounds way better , no more fart can noises , right on!
I always used a cherry bomb glass pack just past the converter and then used the fart can on the end. Went from 2 1/2 to 2 and 3/4 exhaust sounded really nice deep smooth growl.. for less than $90 total plus weld
Did you leave the original resonator, or the glass pack in place of it?
Sounds exactly like Kia Koup that is straight piped into muffler
It’s crazy, spec-d used to be the best sounding exhaust for the money in like 2015 but they just stopped putting packing in all the mufflers smh
I know! I had bought one in 2012 that was excellent sounding. The muffler finally fell apart about 6 months ago as it was on my friends car.
Damn it sounds way better
Big time
WAYYY BETTER! Thank you two for making an original Si no longer sound raspy and like shit. A muffler that large from eBay with zero packing will do that.
You're welcome! Lol
@@GarageBuiltHondas Deep sound, not too loud, no raspiness. You made good choices
Well, Chris did! But now I know exactly what to expect if I want something similar in the future!
@@GarageBuiltHondas Ok, ok. Chris did, but now you do too. And knowing is half the battle.
(Oh man. Did I quote GI Joe? Time for TH-cam GI Joe PSA video watching. Pork chop sandwiches. If you watch enough of them you will know exactly why I just wrote that!)
@@GarageBuiltHondas I had a 91 DX with D15B2, automatic, and classic K&N Filtercharger. In addition the exhaust consisted of a DC Sport header, Random Tech hi flow cat (part number was for an Integra), 2.25inch T304 TruBendz piping, and a full stainless Borla oval XS Power muffler. A bit obnoxious at times. Shoulda put a resonator inline somewhere.
This makes me miss my CRX. Great muffler setup!
👍
Dude nice! This is Direct Flow i have 2Step enable and my car make pop, but i want a robust sound!
Thanks!
Love it great upgrade Chris!
The_Caveman thanks buddy!
@@chriswinters4527 Your welcome dude
That’s a sweet crx. Love it!!
👍
Seems pretty legit. I just got boned by ProTuningLabs. Theyre stuff is garbage. Theres literally nothing good involved in their exhaust from fit to finish to sound. I learned my lesson.
👍
Sounds so good
👍
Sounds really good
Look at them clouds on the mountains! 1:36
Crazy huh?
Damn, sounds way better. Well done
Right, super clean
Sounds great! I want something like this on my mx5
Oskier Gazowanykoń best sound mufflers for a 4 cylinder. When you upgrade the exhaust definitely go for vibrant
Sounds like the civic’s in fast and the furious. Sounds good man
Goal accomplished! 😀
Vibrant is good stuff! That ZC held up to the EM1 pretty well.
It's pretty quick! His is an A6 though but essentially the same!
That sounds way better
👍
Great video, keep the content coming💪
Thanks
Love your vibe bro
Thanks Diego!
I'm shocked how the crx was almost faster than the em1. Wow I was not expecting that
We weren't either. The em1 engine had probably seen better days though and was a little tired. Plus I weigh 190 lbs and I'm sure that didn't help.
Im running a 2.5 muffler with no res. and stock cat on my EP3 and love it!
Vibrant muffler?
Nice👍I'm actually looking into a vibrant muffler now. Check out my 400whp buick and how it sounds now. I'll post another video after I install the new muffler🔥
Will do! 👍
Sounds nice! Which kooks muffler is this? What size? Thanks
LOVE this set up!!!!
Likewise buddy!!
Sounds amazing!! I need to pick up some resonators. Stat!!
So you have the factory resonator, removed cat, then vibrant resonator and vibrant muffler?
Yes
Sounds good I might have to do that to my hatch
