Muffler delete or resonator delete?

[Nikolai224]

Im super late to this discussion but I did a muffler and resonator delete and had a cherry bomb put where my resonator was and they put a resonated tip on I gotta say it's pretty loud but it sounds absolutely amazing. I was very skeptical about the cherry bomb because Honda's are already pretty raspy when messing with the exhaust and most cherry bomb mufflers dont help that but I have no regrets. I paid a total of $80 and there is no drone.

So, I was planning on getting a resonator delete, because I want something a bit louder, but not a muffler delete. On a scale of 1-10, 5 being the stock sound, how much louder is the resonator delete? I've read through the previous chats, but unsure if it would be suitable. I know what a muffler delete sounds like and I really don't like it. Imo, it's a bit loud for my situation and I want to keep my stock muffler tips.

Last week I actually cut a hole in between where the pipes divert into the two mufflers. The hole is only about an inch or inch and a half. Its not crazy loud but I can hear it in the cabin more than the stock muffler, as well as some gurgles when going from first to second and second to third. For me I think it is perfect, I wanted as close to stock sound just loud enough to hear it better.

On a second note, would a muffler delete void warranty?

Yes it would I've come to my dealer for some noise check up by warranty and I have the muffler delete my guy told me it will void my warranty so he was nice enough to just warn me that next time I need to come in I need to put the muffler back on or the warranty is over.

This is false.

Cutting the muffler pipe near the junction puts carbon monoxide just a few feet from you and entrance to the interior. I would think this to be incredibly dangerous ... Long trips with windows closed ... Dense traffic not moving with windows closed. Am I just being an alarmest?

Could be I guess, tbh I didn't put much thought into it. Maybe someone who knows a little bit more may chime in with more data. I drive my car a total of 50 minutes where 40 of those are highway. I could see where if there is any chance of anything circulating into the car it could be a problem. If you make a circle with your thumb and index finger that is about the size of the hole. Long trips for me aren't an issue since we have a bigger car for those. My SI is my work car and that is all it is used for. If anyone knows more by all means let me know.

I had the exact same thing done as you. Muffler delete and cherry bomb glasspack where the resonator was and it sounds amazing. Lots of crackles and easily manageable drone. I love it and could definitely recommend it.

Which glass pack did you use?
Part number: 87522CB?

Not exactly sure but I believe it's the 12" which that one also is. Mine was also red not gray.

Do you remember the part number? And the pipe inlet and outlet diameter you used?

Sorry to say it, but I was trying to convince my self about the sound of a 4 cylinders exhaust, and they would never sound as good as a V8 exhaust. Not even the exhaust of my prior Porsche 911 (996) Carrera sounded good, it sounded like an old washing machine.
