went back to stock exhaust = ricey honda sound -- hElP!!!

youngnastyman · 06-16-2011, 12:06 AM

So I'm parting out my car and uninstalled my Borla cat-back and put the stock exhaust back in and it is terrible! ITs loud and ricey and theres no way i can sell the car like this bc it sounds like crap!!!

only thing i can think of is where they used a coupler to put the stock exhaust back on (had to cut it for borla install)....

Maybe there's a leak there? its going to a muffler shop tomorrow but seeing if anyone else here has had a similar problem.

there shouldn't be a problem with it. Probably a leak some where

Definitely a leak. Doesn't matter if it has a coupler or not. As long as there's no leak it should sound like stock
