Free flow or chambered

[menggoy]

Kung ako sainyo sir, Chambered, since City yan, di naman siguro maganda tignan ang maingay na City.
Plus maporma pa pag chambered.
Sakit din sa ulo pag laging maingay, which is free-flow.

sakit talaga sa ulo pag maingay ang kotse, agaw pansin rin kasi maingay. yung iba pinapaingay ang sasakyan para lang mapansin e ang sakit sa tenga at sa ulo pag nasa loob ka na at humahataw na ang kotse. lalo na pag medyo mataas ang dinadaanan mo, grabe sa ingay ng kotse. sobrang nakakabingi.

Kaya IMO wag masyadong maingay dapat, mapag-tri-tripan ka niyan for sure. just my 2 cents...

And with noisy cars, you can get hell in some places. I know some homeowners really getting very angry with noisy cars coming in at 2am and taking matters into their own hands.

[jick.cejoco]

the car manufacturers installed mufflers for a reason. if you change it to a "better" performing muffler, the noise gets louder. this in a way limits your use of your car in some places like around hospitals, schools, courts of law, villages and where people are in mourning and probably saying rosary for the dear departed or some parents trying to make their sick infant to sleep. picture yourself in their shoes. it is okay if you are the only one who can hear this unnecessary noise pollution but some people, some place and some time needs peace and quiet and the people are enjoying it

kaya mas maganda talaga chambered.

ang "cheap" din tignan ang car na maingay, tas stock naman lahat.

[Si 06]

Pwede naman sir, your call naman yun. Kaya lang don't expect any performance gains. Magiging throaty lang yung sound ng exhaust.

Kahit magpalit ka ng pipe diameter at headers kung walang mods at ECU tune kotse mo walang performance gains baka bumagal pa.

Masyadong sensitive ang Honda sa back pressure.

I read somewhere that chambered muff are best for low displacement vehicles (e.g. 1.3), tapos yung free flow for higher displacement ones (1.8 and up). Is this true?

[niky]

Nope. Whatever your displacement, what muffler works best depends on the rest of the set-up.

A full-free-flow set-up will always make the most power AS LONG AS the pipes are properly sized. But on a street set-up compromised by catalytic converters and often sub-optimal pipe sizes and headers, a good chambered muffler can approach the power levels of a straight-through one... or even exceed it if the exhaust piping is too big for the engine.
