I love my ILX but I can't stand the loud engine. Anybody know how to quiet it down? I bought the car because I love to drive, not because I want to wake my neighbors when I start up. I've got the 2.4.
i wanted a si in tuxedo, love the growl from the stock exhaust upon start up!That is a carryover from the Si.
it's not the motor. Its the exhaust.
Its was tuned that way to be sportier.
Good idea but wont work. Aside from the piping being different diameters all the way back but even the gaskets are different part numbers so there is no point in the system that is the same between the 2.4 and 2.0maybe you can swap the exhaust out with the base ilx, that might fit and work?
I have an Apex'i WS2 on my accord and love it. No where near over powering.. sometimes I actually wish it was louder lol.the best one I have always known to do the job but not over powering is the apexi world sport exhaust.
Adding dynamat or some sort of insulation is the way to go, only problem is that it will be a bit tricky to take apart the panels since we dont know where exactly all the clips are located. It's going to take a lot of patience.It'll be louder than stock though. he wants it to be quieter.
I think adding interior sound insulation is the way to go.
It'll be louder when you press down harder lolI have an Apex'i WS2 on my accord and love it. No where near over powering.. sometimes I actually wish it was louder lol.
