[@cebastienlarochelle8182]

It's rare to see a honda with ''cheap'' exhaust that doesn't sounds like crap. Im used to Magnaflow deep tone muffler (which i like) but i like yours. Thanks for the video!

[@A1Brian]

Yea it is. Didnt want to go to crazy. Thanks!

[@tylerbuilt_chevy_tough5163]

You are exactly right it's hard to find a Honda with a cheap exhaust that sounds good this is the only cheap exhaust that I trust and it never disappoints me it's not too rising and has a deep tone as a deep tone I wish everybody could hear how mind sounds but when you make a video in my opinion it does not do Justice for how it sounds in person

[@TheCrowsCallinnn]

My dc muffler alone was like 280 not including the rest of the exhaust

[@jahdiellafontaine2885]

I ended up buying this muffler, thanks for putting me on bro lol

[@A1Brian]

No problem man. Enjoy!

[@ej8a170]

Sounds amazing 🤙🏽Had the same one on my cd7 accord straight piped so got it on my em2 now with resonator delete might post the video too sounds soo good just need headers now

[@A1Brian]

Nice! You should post a video on it. I wonder what it sounds like with a resonator delete.

[@carloswick1]

Comment is kind of old was just wondering how this build went or if you got rid of it

[@dflowfamily]

I like the sound of the Dc exhaust and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@A1Brian]

Yea it has a good tone. No problem!

[@dflowfamily]

Please keep me posted for more videos . Thank you very much.

[@robertovargas3205]

THANK YOUUU!! I found a good deal on one of those, and i wanted to check it out before buying it. Sounds really subtle, not too loud

[@A1Brian]

Your welcome👊🏼

[@tacticalsamurai9851]

I got the same muffler thanks to this video. Had it welded for 100 bucks at my local shop. It sounds nice and deep on my 1993 honda del sol captiva blue Si

[@A1Brian]

Nice work👍🏽

[@marvelousmarvin956]

Great video man. I'm going to buy this DC Sports ex-5016 muffler asap to put on my 2015 Toyota Corolla. This muffler sounds great nice and throaty. It sounds alot better then the magnaflow oval muffler I have on my car. This muffler sounds wicked good man amazing music to my ears. Thank you for helping me decide on what muffler to get.

[@A1Brian]

Thanks! Glad i could help!

[@marvelousmarvin956]

@@A1Brian I got the DC sports resonated muffler ex-5016 installed yesterday January 15, 2022 on my 2015 Toyota Corolla at my local exhaust shop. I also have an Aem dry flow performance air filter that I put in my car myself in January 2021 and a 304 stainless steel Vibrant 12 inch standard bottle style Performance resonator that I had installed last year in January 2021 at the exhaust shop. I like the way my car sounds very deep aggressive sounding muffler loud but not too loud. I'm very happy and glad that the DC sports muffler ex-5016 muffler is very deep aggressive sounding but not overly obnoxious or high pitched sounding either like some of the other mufflers that people buy. Great video man 👍.

I stand by that muffler 100% I have it on my 96 accord f22b2 ive had it on other cars but the key is remove your cat and put this muffler on go little bigger than 2 inch exhaust to the back 👌 not too ricy good deep tone

[@A1Brian]

Yea a couple people have told me to delete the cat with this muffler. Thanks bro

[@just_mason15]

wow that sounds a lot better than expected

[@A1Brian]

Yea nothing crazy

[@tylerbuilt_chevy_tough5163]

I've had that same muffler on a few Hondas it's always my go to. Cheap and it sounds good 👍 it's not crazy loud either which surprises me because there's bigger mufflers out there that are louder

[@A1Brian]

Exactly, cheap and sounds good

[@daneh3443]

Interesting. Not too loud and sounds decent . I have a Dynomax on my EM1. This seems a bit louder.

[@A1Brian]

[@nathansleek92]

[@A1Brian]

[@shaknoori2868]

I got this muffler, love the sound but maaaaan the drone and cabin noise is insane. Its mounted on my daily and I think id have to take it out lol bc its almost unbearable on mine

[@A1Brian]

Do you have any other mods done to the exhaust? Its not that loud for me.

[@shaknoori2868]

@@A1Brian nope fully stock. but its not the same car as the one you have

[@A1Brian]

Oh i see. Maybe its the car then.

[@marvelousmarvin956]

I'm used to have the DC Sports resonated muffler ex-5016 on my 2015 Toyota Corolla but like someone else stated it had too much drone for me. I've tried out many mufflers on my car looking for a sound but all mufflers I tried had very bad drone driving at city speeds or at highway speeds. I also have a Vibrant performance resonator that replaced the stock resonator and an AEM dry flow performance air filter. I tried out other mufflers but I'm thinking of switching to a quieter muffler. Everytime I drive I get headaches from the drone. I'm thinking of switching to either a dynomax super turbo muffler offset offset or get another oval body Magnaflow muffler. I just don't want anymore headaches when I drive.

[@MilkTeaLover100]

I have one on mine Em2, take your resonator off and upgrade to 2.5 inch pipe

[@A1Brian]

It sounds way better?

[@shjmo]

u got any sound clips?

[@packzz3954]

Ig? can i hear it

[@tylerbuilt_chevy_tough5163]

I have a 96 accord f22b2 and I got rid of the cat kept the resonators for now see how it does probably gonna get rid of those but I'm running that muffler and I love it I've been running them same mufflers for quite a while they have a good tone and never ricy or raspy

[@A1Brian]

Nice! Yea not too ricy or raspy.

[@bfenney7935]

Hey man 03 honda accord LX 2.4l vtec my main question is do you think this will help fuel economy? Also do you believe it's possible to do it and from what the other guys are saying should i drop the resonators?

[@A1Brian]

If you put it on your accord, it might sound a little different because you have a 2.4L. Mine is a 1.7L. But they are both 4 cylinders. I dont know if it will help fuel economy. I havent noticed a change in my car. If you drop the resonator, it will be louder. You could do it because it a muffler that fits any car basically. I brought the car and the muffler to the exhaust shop and everything went fine.

[@bfenney7935]

Thanks man I appreciate it, people say I'd better just swap the whole system for the 03 accord specifically because it messes with things such as the o2 sensor. Also thank you for responding so quickly some don't respond at all even when they say they are answering questions

[@bfenney7935]

Also my cylinder 2 and 4 are misfiring you experience and issues with your ride and experience? I'm getting a tuning done on thursday

[@A1Brian]

No problem man. I mean as long as the O2 sensors are towards the front, you should be fine. Since they go in the back.

I havent experience a misfire on this car yet. But i should do spark plugs and coil packs soon.
