You're essentially talking about running a straight pipe (minus a couple cats) on a 1.5L 4 banger. I wouldn't.

Probably, you want to figure you have 3 resonators that are straight through, and no muffler. You're going to have some angry neighbors:mad: I ordered my mid pipe but am running a Thunder axle back. I'm going to cut one of the resonators out and still run my axle back. I would keep a muffler on there.

I say throw the mid pipe on there first, start it up and drive it around see how loud it is, if it's too loud then just plan to add a muffler. A couple of years ago i would have gone hardcore, sh*t i even drove around my civic with open header at one point:eek:, it was nuts. I wouldn't do it now though, i guess i'm getting old (only 26):iono:

I drove my car minus the muffler on the stock midpipe. That was pretty crazy in and of itself, try it out, it takes like 1 minute to get the muffler off the car.

You might start melting parts though

it will sound like this....but worse....much worse...

This is with no muffler on a 4 banger 2.0 liter so youll prolly be a lil "whinier" than this

It will be loud to say the least, and you may have a little bit of that signature honda with a fart can BAAAAAAAHHHHHH tk BAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH tk BAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH sound. Try it out and see how it sounds.
