Just put a resonator on the exhaust...

and wow, what a difference. i feel a slight loss in top end power, but the result is more usable (mid range) torque and power. also i notice that it isnt as raspy or buzzy which is also a plus. but mainly, IT'S QUIETER!!! I am happy about it. It still has the deep tone but not as near as loud.

I have a 93 Si, F22B, AEM CAI, Megan Racing Header, and 2.25 custom piping from the cat to the megan racing N1 muffler

just thought i'd share...

ill be glad to get some exhaust clips, but the only thing is I didnt make any clips before doing the resonator so i really dont have a comparison. but it is noticeable to me

oh, i got a cheap no name resonator off of ebay and it works...

im sure that most aftermarket catbacks have resonators in their system for this reason...esp considering u were running an N1 style muffler, im sure anything would've helped silence that!

I understand, I've heard just the the N1 installed on just a stock Si before. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to notice the difference in loudness and sound quality as well. If you can, definitly post up some sound clips I need to silence my exhaust. (Megan header, Apexi World sport muffler.) Annoyingly loud inside and raspy as hell out side the car.

Im really surprised ur world sport is loud....the last time i heard an APex WS it was comparable to the Greddy SP, which wasnt loud at all, just had a nice deep rumble....i also noticed u said "muffler", so i assume ur still running stock piping?
