mmmm, probably not.

I say that because the 7th gen accord actually has 3 catalytic converters.
2 precats at the manifold
1 cat after the J-pipe.

So, in that 1st vid it sounds ok because he has 3 converters "muffling" the exhasut. Actually sounded pretty good for my taste.


Not sure about the 9th gen accords. Not sure if they still use precats and a 3rd cat after j-pipe.


The 6th gen set up is different. Keep the resonator, and/or get a bigger/longer resonator. Your exhaust will be loud and Raspy under wide open throttle if you just go exhaust manifold and straight pipe and no converter -- if you pull the converter off.


Getting pulled over -- well, that depends on the cop you pass by. In my area, cops don't hassle loud exhaust at all. But, it is an offense for which you can get cited/ticket. Some places have a noise ordinance and some cops enforce it more than others.

Why some 6thgenaccord straight piped sound so good and there is a few should like ****?

If I straight pipe from the cat, remove resonator, and mufflers. Will my car sound good or nasty? I dont care about loud.

Probly. I'd keep the resonator, or replace it with a glasspack.

or should I go Vibrant resonator and 2 x mufflers deleted?
is it going to sound good?

6thgenaccord straight piped videos, all of them has no resonator and they sound very nice.
