Added a 14'' Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator too, not trying to have a loud exhaust at all..hopefully my local "Albany Speed Shop" doesn't take too long on everything..
I'd love a nice jrsc to top it off lol. Don't think my auto would last too long with that though. Yes auto laugh laugh.
Ah the hell with it. Run that auto trans into the ground so you have a reason to swap it to 5spd! I used to have an auto lude. Personally I hated it, that's why I sold it. The standard is 10000x more fun.

Nice, what's your set up? Oh sorry, haha posted that vid pretty late. I just meant any bottle type resonator that your local exhaust shop carries.

lol yes I do plan on driving the auto until it sh*ts the bed then doing a manual swap. I'd sell the car if I didn't have so much invested in it, plus the car is in perfect condition.
I figured one 22'' magnaflow and a 14'' vibrant resonator should do the trick on any obnoxious ricer noises. Just waiting on the UPS gods to deliver all the goodies at this point.

Originally I was going to do Kteller 3" SS piping, 18" vibrant bottle resonator, and either the vibrant streetpower black muffler(dual tip or single) or the HKS carbon ti muffler. I still cant decide on the muffler but youve given me an idea to add the vibrant quite resonator. The problem is im thinking of running a high flow cat and dont know if ill have space for the two resonators.
To the OP: sorry to be bugging in youre thread. I would say do it anyways and just like aznjap said it will give you a reason later to do a 5sp swap. I personally dont like hearing an exhaust on an auto just because when its under load and when it shifts down and back up and down again it just doesnt sound that great but thats just my opinion you do what you want cuz its your car.
just an fyi the vibrant ultra quiet resonator works good but on the down side it sticks out of the exhaust tunnel....i can throw up some pics if u want em.

Nice, those hks muffler are pretty decent also. But I prefer the vibrant, not only because they look pretty stockish, but also they're quieter than the hks. Also, depending on your drop, the hks is pretty big and might scrap (my n1 did)

No worries about bugging up my exhaust thread, all of this chit-chat is helping me actually lol. Yea any pics of the Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator install would be nice. Do you think this will all fit? I mean a 22'' magnaflow and a 14'' vibrant resonator plus the 13'' long high flow cat.
As far as the muffler goes, it's a vibrant TPV like i mentioned above...it's an n1 style muffler so using two resonators would drown out the automatic shifting "annoyance". IF everything fits that is.
ya the vibrant seems to be more quieter and deeper. One reason why I dont really like the can style on a prelude is because the rear bumper doesnt have a decent size cut in it like some other cars have for example
I hope you get my point. It just doesnt seem to fit on the prelude. It just sticks out. But im pretty sure i can angle it right plus with the value sports rear lip coming in soon it should fit pretty good. Heres what it will look like.
In my Video, I have a full wwrs kit. If I were you, I'd trim off from the bumper. We had a problem with it hitting the bumper so it was either have it mounted inside, or hang it lower. I chose to hang it lower. That is if you don't mind cutting your bumper though lol.
Btw, Just came back from the dyno with the new exhaust,
New Numbers:228Hp And 192 Tq
Old numbers with 2.5" exhaust: 215Hp And 194 Tq.
So I guess I lost a couple pounds of tq, but gained like 13 hp!
You don't have to trim the bumper. I just think it would look a lot better if it's cut instead of hanging low. Hell, I would've cut my bumper if I had the chance lol. It's only the bottom part anyways. Not like it's gonna really matter.
