Enhancing My Cars VTEC SOUND for Free! Didn't spend any $$$ to get this exhaust sound. My Instagram: / gerb_productions My previous video: • Replacing my High Mile... #k20z3 #fg2 #fa5 #fd2 #fg4 #fb6
Hell yeah!!!! My bro Gerb with the muffler delete!!!! I love the way it sounds man, even tho it’s temporary I still think it sounds awesome. That’s similar to my custom exhaust set up that I was telling you about that I’m running on my FG1. I just have my cat then it’s straight all the way back. 3” piping with my 3.5” Vibrant tip. I was telling ya it would sound good!!
I told him it's the vtc actuator/intake cam gear already he is in denial haha doesn't want to have to do the 20-30 hour job and spend the $500 but i don't blame him just not smart to be driving with a bad vtc
@@YoungReezyVA It is a common k series problem around 200-250,000kms sounds like what his sounds like on cold start and worsens over time search some videos on yt
Awesome..... finding that tone is trial and error.... My set up is... S2 header... 3 in pipe w 3 in resonator... 1st bend has a 3 in electric cutout.... than it necks down to 2 1/2... 2nd bend lead to a hushpower II... and finally a magnaflow exhaust..... the cutout is stooopid loud... but I dyno'd 386hp........ with it closed... 373hp... lots of trail and error to get where I'm at sound wise... oh well to each his own... lol
Nicolas Colorado Do you know what size pipe you used? 2” ? I think I may get this done. How’s the back pressure, performance. Think it feels and sounds better than stock?
Gerb Productions i used 2”. It sounds better than just the muffler removed too, it added a deeper tone. Performance wise? My car still runs great recently ran it on a dyno and with just a caí got 201 whp.
I was straight piping it but since I’ll be selling my FA5 I put the full race 3 inch back on but did swap the header out... took off the Alpha to sell and put the ASP custom header on
Geeb I’m going to put the word in and tell you to get Raceland coilovers, quality is a1, ride quality is near stock maybe a bit stiffer. It’s worth the 380$
I'm driving an '88 CRX with a mini me swap, with no muffler. The internals of my muffler caught fire during a pull one day, so I had to emergency amputate the muffler. I haven't been pulled over being too loud yet. But VTEC is LOUD!!!
Yeah, I pulled a muffler from another civic, but it's going to take some modification to fit the CRX, so it's gonna have to wait until the weather gets warmer at the very least
@@TheGerbsteve yeah bro im keeping it a while!lol it is just too good! I thought it would be ricey af but nah man. Nice rumble and vtec crossover sounds crazy!
Get an exhaust cutout. I put one on my ep3 so now I have a straight pipe out the side of the car or the fully muffled exhaust for when the cop pulls behind me. It already pops and bangs, now I just need a proper header and decat. It’s by far my favorite thing I have done to my car, and anyone who rides with me comments on it, especially when you press the button at the same time as you put the pedal to the floor, it’s like the most dramatic VTEC engagement because you go from super quiet to screaming in a second
Jack Hofalot 160 yeah, it’s not very fast, It is completely gutted except for the dash tho, including a sunroof delete, but my engine is at 240,xxx miles, so making more power is sort of pointless right now. Still it’s a fun car in the right applications, I live in ny so mountain roads are abundant.
And it gets okay gas mileage, plus you could fit like an entire couch in the back, I have moved in and out of places in a single trip thanks to how much space that hatch has
As much as you change your exhaust im surprised you even need PB blaster for the bolts. They don't have time to rust hahaha, but nice video though car sounds good
@@TheGerbsteve without the muffler , the car would louder and faster but it might not pass emission test . I'm in West Africa , Nigeria and vehicle modifications have no restrictions at all , so my friend and i decided to play around with his 2008 Toyota Tundra ....we removed the muffler and ran a straight pipe ...it was even louder than a G Wagon . it's 2 years later and he still daily drives it , drift it, race it 😎.
@@TheGerbsteve Damn lol iam thinking of getting a new exhaust system everything on my si still is basically stock just changed out my clutches to Stage 2
Life is too short to drive stock quiet cars lmao... One day man. If anything, with the cat converter removed and muffler removed, you should see an increase in mpg
Gerb Productions oh dang I’m about to do the same thing to mine. I bought some cheap catback exhaust and without the silencer it’s super ricey, like a weed eater hitting a pop can. The silencer makes it a bit better but in vtec it gets all ricey again. Might try what you did and see how it’s sounds. Midnight is beautiful btw 😉
I took mine off on my FA5 a few days before I put the Skunk2 Megapower R on it... honestly it sounded just as good, just the catback fine tuned the sound so it wasn't as raspy. Honestly though, be careful with having it dump under your car, my friend ended up getting a cracked bumper bc the heat build up was too much for it (this on a miata however). Otherwise, its sound good, just a hair raspy, but it's free!!
So it probs sounds similar to mine haha ;)... Exhaust are a lot of money for these cars and i feel like they don't do a crazy amount. I plan on getting a straight pipe welded from muffler back or a nice axle back, but for now, it's muff delete lol
Damn, you have been spitting out good content left and right hella fast. Thank you for the entertaining videos. Honda should sponsor you.
*_It reminds me of when I took out my air intake resonator, on my Stock FD2!_* Sounds pretty mean!
This was a genuinely awesome video thanks for showing us and yeah it sounds better than stock
Cant wait to see new set up gerb 2019
Hopefully k20/k24 build this year ;)
You made taking those bolts look easy! I was fighting for my dear life when I was doing mine
he has taken that exhaust apart prob 20 times. wouldnt surprise me if he doesnt even tighten them anymore lol
Jack Hofalot lolololol
Mine were relatively new lol
i love the oem muffler look
2:23 AND IT BACKFIRES!!! lol good video gerb. Good shit. What do you think of 4Bangers Productions integrar type R?
To be honest, i haven't even seen it lol
Hell yeah!!!! My bro Gerb with the muffler delete!!!! I love the way it sounds man, even tho it’s temporary I still think it sounds awesome. That’s similar to my custom exhaust set up that I was telling you about that I’m running on my FG1. I just have my cat then it’s straight all the way back. 3” piping with my 3.5” Vibrant tip. I was telling ya it would sound good!!
Hahaha ;)... So do i. I was thinking down the road, 2.5" Custom kteller midpipe to a vibrant 2.5" muffler
4:06 that totally something I would do. That’s how I dance hahaha
Of course you leave the part of you “twerking” on the car 😂 love it
Lol you're hilarious man
not gonna lie it sounds good
Great video! Cant wait for spring time , when its warmer out since we live pretty close to eachother we should do a little meet !
Hahahahah definitely louder but sounds like a mean ass chainsaw
😂
Hahaha nice sounds good !
Bro I live in Middletown, i wanna meet you if i see you around, love the vids!
Small world.. I’m sure you’ll see me driving through there one of these days 😉
Yeah get a vibrant muffler sounds great nice and deep no homo I got a custom 3” exhaust with a vibrant muffler
yea or Flowmaster. i wish camera picked up more real-time sound.
Raulston where did u get the 3" muffler??? I need to upgrade soon from 2.5 but i haven't seen any vibrant mufflers bigger. Lmk please
Damn that sounds so sick!! 👍
Dude my FA5 sounded exactly like yours when the starter was going out. Sounded like something rattling after startup
Well, it’s a good thing I bought a new starter bro 👍🏼. Will be installing it this weekend
0:01 You already have my attention
My buddy in like 2012 did the same thing to his 06 si but he was all stock and I remember vtec cracking like a mofo for stock
Dude, the crossover is insane... I want to get a straight pipe or axle back eventually
I've ran mine the exact same way for the past 2 years! Its quiet enough for me to daily but the Vtec crossover is Insane!
It really is! Only things that suck are smell & some drone at high rpms
Noooo not the exposure of gerb.. Lol sweet brotha, ima have to try this just got my custom header..
Bro 1:07-1:08 still sounds a little like that chain issue you recently replaced other than that it sounds good
orangefirepearl FB6 I think he said he thinks it’s the starter going out
I told him it's the vtc actuator/intake cam gear already he is in denial haha doesn't want to have to do the 20-30 hour job and spend the $500 but i don't blame him just not smart to be driving with a bad vtc
@@brendenmacvicar738 ya true lol at least it couldn't him longer in engine life
@@brendenmacvicar738 whats the vtc actuator? And how can you tell its gone bad? Ive been having some off sounds that im trying to pinpoint myself
@@YoungReezyVA It is a common k series problem around 200-250,000kms sounds like what his sounds like on cold start and worsens over time search some videos on yt

Sounds good! ❤

On what car?
Agreed, it takes a lot of trial and error for that "perfect" sound ;)
@@AK47xSNIPES 2010 civic si
My FA5 has a muffler delete with a straight pipe wielded on. Best thing I’ve done so far. It crackle and pops all the timmeee 🤤🤤
I’m interested. Do you have a header and oem midpipe? Just muffler removed?
Gerb Productions just the muffler removed. I’m kind of shocked it does all that with just a muffler delete. Tho it’s when I down shift in lower gears.
Nicolas Colorado Do you know what size pipe you used? 2” ? I think I may get this done. How’s the back pressure, performance. Think it feels and sounds better than stock?

I was straight piping it but since I’ll be selling my FA5 I put the full race 3 inch back on but did swap the header out... took off the Alpha to sell and put the ASP custom header on
better not sell it before i come down there in May
@Gerb Productions
I’ll probably still have it, no serious buyers out there. It’s on Letgo and Facebook marketplace for 9K
That was awesome and sounds really good too you should get straight pipe that’s what I got on my 2006 Civic ex coupe and believe me you will love it 😍
Damn honda waking up the neighborhood..
Yo that shit sounded aggressive af
Love it
Thanks haha 🙏🏻
I did that on my 9th gen and it sounds amazing back fires every now and then so far haven’t gotten pulled over in cali
Those cali exhaust laws are no joke 😂... be careful out there bro
Ik but it’s worth it lol plus I’m getting rid of it I’m either going to get the Sti or type r
Geeb I’m going to put the word in and tell you to get Raceland coilovers, quality is a1, ride quality is near stock maybe a bit stiffer. It’s worth the 380$

Mini me is what, b20/b18?? Forget mufflers man lol. My vtec screams as well
Mini me is the d15 with the d16z6 head
I did it to my fb6 a couple weeks ago and i love it! It drones a bit on the highway but i love how great it sounds when sendin it!
It especially drones when going 80 down the freeway
You gonna keep it like that for awhile lol? I love it too ;)
Yeah, I pulled a muffler from another civic, but it's going to take some modification to fit the CRX, so it's gonna have to wait until the weather gets warmer at the very least
@@TheGerbsteve yeah bro im keeping it a while!lol it is just too good! I thought it would be ricey af but nah man. Nice rumble and vtec crossover sounds crazy!
So jokes, I love it! haha
Haha 👍🏼
Hey gerd, woundering what bolt ons you have on in this video?!! Vtec sounds like it hits hard!

yeah but ur car is like 120 whp. loud doesnt mean fast.

As much as you change your exhaust im surprised you even need PB blaster for the bolts. They don't have time to rust hahaha, but nice video though car sounds good
lol... Hey, this was only the muffler ;)... Car sounds sick, but i'd love a straight pipe welded from the muffler back or a nice axle back
Lol you the best keep it up....
🙏🏻
What happen to Skunk2 exhaust?
Sold/traded it for a carbon fiber hood
Hey bro it sounds hella good
I need to show you some video of my 260$ exhaust ! lol ..
Dang how many times have you taken the stock muffler off and put it back on??
Too many 😂
I run skunk2 alpha header with invidia N1 exhaust 👌👌
It sounds great ! I think you should just run a straight pipe to the very end cos of the exhaust heat ...it can cause a fire .
That's what i was planning on doing... I wonder if it would effect performance with a straight pipe welded from the muffler back..
@@TheGerbsteve without the muffler , the car would louder and faster but it might not pass emission test .

Go on Facebook and request to join 845alliance its a car group not far from you in ny and u can see some videos of what an all motor k can do 😉
Lol why didn't you jus keep the exhaust I thought the point was the that you wanted to be quieter 🙄😑
I bought a quieter axle back, should be here this week. You’ll see
It sounds good man not going to lie
#HondaGang #JDM #K20 #FA5 #FG2 #nomuffler lol
I said the same thing and was surprised lol. #ganggang
Whats upp iam a fan from The Bahamas iam thinking i might do this muffler delete as well on my si Cool sound bro!
Ayyy, welcome from the Bahamas! You should, it's fun and does sound great. Only thing i hate it the high rpm drone and smell sometimes.
@@TheGerbsteve Damn lol iam thinking of getting a new exhaust system everything on my si still is basically stock just changed out my clutches to Stage 2
My SI is also Frankenstein 😎Best of Both Worlds
Omg gerb I have my car just like this and it’s extremely loud bro we gotta meet up for sure. Does it waste gas because my for sure does LOL
My 88 crx actual does better on gas mileage with no muffler. Lol
Life is too short to drive stock quiet cars lmao... One day man. If anything, with the cat converter removed and muffler removed, you should see an increase in mpg
No muffler FL
Ur just losing power seeing theres no back pressure tho right looking into getting a vibrant muffler
Bro it's a 4 stroke engine back pressure doesn't mean dick unless you got a 2 stroke, then that shits vital
Tbh, haven't felt any power or tq loss. I do like vibrant mufflers though ;)
Wait, I thought you already had full exhaust on your car? You went back to stock?
I had an eBay exhaust, yonaka exhaust, and skunk2 exhaust, but went back to stock lol
Gerb Productions oh dang I’m about to do the same thing to mine. I bought some cheap catback exhaust and without the silencer it’s super ricey, like a weed eater hitting a pop can. The silencer makes it a bit better but in vtec it gets all ricey again. Might try what you did and see how it’s sounds.
Midnight is beautiful btw 😉
Gerb at what rpm does your vtec kick in looks like from here at 4,500rpm
jaime quiles 4350 bro 💪🏼
Love it bro i just got myself a SI 07 and looking to do a hondata on it
If you need a etune hmu on IG @gerb_productions

Put the dam factory exhaust back on..lmao...Full race 3 inch exhaust and then stop tickering with it
😂.... You’ll see what’s coming. Unfortunately, it’s not a FR
Gerbproduction .. u got a email wanna email u some vids of my 8th gen
Kinda sounds like a shitty b series ebay exhaust way to raspy
Good thing it’s temporary
Unfortunately stock for now!!!
Keep her stock and reliable haha ;)
🤦🏻♂️
you change your car so much go from skunk 2 exhaust back to stock back to muffler off, why not just do stuff properly. so stupid
ok
