Everybody has jokes on hondas for hamster power. THis sounds like a honda according to the other guys. Thats why I wrote hamster power.

I was referring to posts before yours.

Ah, I remember the old photoshop pic of the hamster running on it's wheel inside of a civic engine bay I think.

SER007. Hey man that sounds horrible, something went wrong there with the ws2. You sure you got a real WS2 and not a knock off? I didn't think an Sr20 could sound like that.

If anything just take the muffler off and run open pipe. Would be loud but not at least it will sound like an SR20 again.

Yeah when i had mine 3" vrs w/ ws2 80mm done, it sounded really raspy and i hated it. Then once I got the ve in it sound way better. I'm only running a magnaflow resonator with it. I think it's just how that muffler sound with a de.

UPDATE!
I installed a new cat and it sounds worse. To find out that the old cat wasn't cracked just the padding got burned off or something which pushed the honeycomb thingy all the way to the back of the cat. Also ordered a 28in resonator 4in round, so if that doesn't help with the ws2 then i might switch back to the twinloop.

WS2 in action. sounds like crap.

What did you replace the old cat with?

get the biggest resonator you can find and put it in there. make sure it is high quality, it will take out the raspy noise you're getting. I had the same problem when I was NA. I hated the way the car sounded with no resonator. Plus resonance tubes rarely affect performance at all if you get a perforated core.

replaced it with the same one. 240 magnaflow cat. the resonator is a magnaflow also so hopefully it will help.
