luxury integra driver
RSX mufflers are 2.25 and 2.5 for 2006 model i believe resonator is a must or you can try to weld on a second resonator it will make it sound alot smoother and deeper
u delete the resonator its gonna have the crackle/pop sound
integra is a hatchback so unless u invest in some sound deadening for the trunk u not gonna see much improvement
i can tell u from my own experience what i ve done to mine
i got the car with some dynamat on the trunk wall
say i start off with gutted car from front seats(doors, rear pannels seats, trunk carpet, sparetire)
and 20pts of (perceived noise) would be the noise i had with all stripped including road noise and exhaust)
so strips of dynamat aroudn the car mostly on flat sheet metal -1pts
added sheets of dynamat to trunk covering almost all of the backwall and trunk floor and some q pannels- 2 pts
sprayed about 3-4 cans of trunk bedliner and rubber undercoating in trunk -6 untill it dried and was -4
carped soaked with bedliner covering the rear speaker areas-1
door pannels sprayed with rubber undercoating-2( roadnoise)
dynamated doors -3 vibration from speakers,roadnoise
sprayed all plastic pannels with undercoat and added dynamat strips -3
finally last try was to glue some polyfill sheets to the plastic panels and stuffquarter pannels with it-2-3pts
after all done and in between my muffler kept blowing out so i patched that with fiberbondo and it works
as a resultof all that at cruising speeds (2500-3000) rpm with evo2 exhaust is barely louder than stock roadnoise/exhaust noise
i was very conservative with dynamat adn bedliner and all the noise reduction materials and my concern was to keep total weight to the minimum so i put it only where needed
engne noise is nto so much since i have urethane inserts and now since my exhaust is silenced i hear the engine and it sounds muuuch better than exhaust i love it
heres few pix of the results of my experiments:
apparently a very common problem with evo2 which greddy chooses not to acknowledge
evidence of speaker abuse
rear pannels
trunk dynamat sprayed over with bedliner
separated the pannel so i dont have to take out whole back of the car
sneak peek of my factory BOSE system haha. i wish
