Exhaust sounds better, and i'm sure a hp or 2. FOR FREE
 
just take the axleback off! lol i tried it today and it sounds quite a bit better and it's still pretty quiet. about as loud as an Apexi Worldsport 2.

i'll try and find my camera and get a sound clip up this evening

solbrothers Jul 20, 2009 09:02 PM

truth. carry on :P

Louder doesn't sound better to me.

Also, I think it's illegal to run a car without a muffler.

I dunno back in the day we called those lawnmowers...lets not do that to the fit yah? its bad enough Honda's have a super riced out reputation with all these idiots who think stickers make their car faster with huge touring wings on a stock height car with altezza everythings...lets keep the fit clean yah?

It actually sounds very very clean without a muffler. Not ricey or lawnmower like at all. Theres a GD in my area running without one and it sounds great.

Fitftw Jul 21, 2009 01:47 AM

there's a whole thread in the exhaust section regarding muffler deletes. in my opinion it sounds pretty good seeing as i used to be muffler-less till i got an axleback

niko3257 Jul 21, 2009 12:59 PM

sounds like we need a audio clip:hyper:

BakedCookies Jul 21, 2009 02:59 PM

what about exhaust fumes finding their way into the cabin? Not trying to kill my family to sound like a ricer, LOL

I swear I think I might just do this instead of watching everyone in the aftermarket drag ass when it comes to releasing exhausts for us.

:EDIT: What size piping do the GE8s use? I'm nowhere near the Fit right now.

don't do it, I know its sound good I did the same thing when I had my GD but on the GE is different, the exaust is looking up, you will start burning all down there, a friend of mine did it, days later He start smelling like something was burning in his car, so he put the muffler back, and the smell disappear.

umop-apisdn Jul 21, 2009 04:55 PM

The smell was likely from the oils on the pipe left over from manufacturing and his hands. If it's done correctly, there shouldn't be a problem.

eykeykeyk Jul 21, 2009 04:59 PM

you can always run custom piping and a muffler instead of doing this....
