Different exhaust systems offer different noise levels and tones, but how? Sound quality and overall loudness of an exhaust system can vary significantly depending on the pipe diameter, size and design of the muffler, resonator inclusion, and the number of outlets. For this reason, all systems sold on RealTruck are filtered by noise level, including loud, moderate, and quiet. From the factory, most manufacturers employ small-diameter piping, restrictive mufflers, and noise-reducing resonators, significantly smothering exhaust flow and sound quality. A front pipe back system replaces a few key components of the OEM Honda or Acura exhaust found on your EX, Touring, Si, or A-Spec that are after the Front Pipe (the pipe that goes under the engine).
Namely, it replaces the rear axle-back and tips and then a portion of what we refer to as the mid-pipes. This system is emissions friendly and doesn’t require any tuning. In New Jersey, vehicles must pass emissions testing to ensure they meet environmental standards. Since cat-back exhaust systems do not modify the catalytic converter or engine management system, they generally do not affect a vehicle’s ability to pass emissions testing.
The difference in fuel economy is, however, more obvious while driving on a freeway. They also do not offer the best performance due to many reasons. If you're looking for an off-road exhaust with
