That's great insights! I added butyl mats (like kilmat) on my door a while back, it did help cut down NVH and outside noise while the car was at low speed, but not much help at highway speed. The biggest difference I felt after deadening the doors was when a car passed me on the road; it felt...
Thanks a lot! Such a great thread to read it's almost addicting. Definitely motivated me to start this project myself, just need to know how to remove the back seat first.
I have a 2023 Integra Aspec (non-tech). I'm thinking about stripping my interior down so I can apply sound deadening material (Dynamat, Sound Skins, etc.) to the metal floor. It's just been too much road noise and NVH especially at highway speed or going through broken pavement. I was doing some...
Thank you for the response. I just put on Thermal R&D exhaust last week and is already somewhat disappointed. There was some droning in the 1500-2000rpm range(possibly the loud humming sound you were referring to). Nice deep sound but can be a little buzzy, no burble and pop indeed.
How restrictive is the stock resonator? If I swap it to a Vibrant 12" or 18" bottle style, would it make any difference to the sound (exhaust tone or volume) from inside or outside the cabin?
I got the CVT because I cannot drive stick (I know I know), but man I wish Acura had given the CVT ones the same deep exhaust tone that they gave 6mt. Another post mentioned that the two had different exhaust setup...
I have a CVT one. Can I mod mine to give it something closer to 6mt exhaust note by deleting one of the two stock resonators? And if so, should I delete the smaller one upstream or the larger one downstream?
I really like the 3rd one from OP's clip. I wonder why Acura put different exhaust...
