Yeah that should work, from what I've read about it before it works about 85-90% of the time. It will probably cause you to fail emissions though if there is a visual inspection.

It's a simulator to make the car think there is a second O2 sensor but there's not. I am not sure what kind to use for the Accent though but if it could be figured out it would work.
If you need anything welded that's stainless steel i won't be able to do it, my welder will only do regular steel.

The headers i'm looking at getting are cermic coated, and comes with a flex pipe. I think all I would need is to have some flanges welded onto the piping I have now. It should be steel, i will double check tho.

If you add a resonator it'll deepen the tone making it less annoying. If you want it to be a lot quieter you can get an OEM style muffler that'll make it as quiet as stock.

2 resonators can help a lot, but only when you actually do math to optimize their placement, and I don't know how to do that. In my experience a single large resonator of the same volume will be just as effective at removing the higher tones.
And yeah, a turbo muffler will make it pretty quiet compared to your chambered muffler. If I were you I would search Youtube for different muffler sounds when choosing one.

Any good brands of turbo mufflers. I know very little about exhaust, i thank you for your help. The next time we meet I will bring a case of your fav. brew! smile.gif
Basically I want my exhaust to be quite, almost like stock. A little rumble is ok.

If it was me I would probably just get the muffler in the first link. The third would be completely unnecessary IMO, it's basically a straight through racing only muffler, the glasspack in the second link wouldn't hurt anything and if you want to be 100% sure that it's a low tone it would be good to include also. With those it should be a subdued but deep sound at I would guess 50% or less of your current volume.
