Exhaust

What is the best kind of exhaust system for a 98 spyder? I am looking up information on it but i thought i would ask on here and see.

turbo or non? big difference in what exhaust ya want...

Yea that would definitely determine a lot. My personal preference is Greddy Evo2 for NA and apex N1 for turbo. but thats just me. Do a search. this kind of thing has been covered a billion times and you should be able to find all the info and opinions you're looking for. Good luck

I just got the evo2 put on today and I am loving it. It sounds lovely and its not an annoying soup can exhaust. It has a deep tone which sounds good.

deep tone until you get a downpipe that takes away the cat. now mine sounds like a truck with tips when i gun it. Oh well, more power more sound gonna happen

Well loud isn't always bad, then people may think you're just a ricer until you leave em in the dust =) I guess it could be a hybrid type of sleeper..?

ahhh true, like the guys that buy the 30 dollar echo tip...yup see em all the time, a guy with a stock lancer i know tried to pull it off as a full cat, naw no way no how...plus i smoked him...he did have a better stereo system though!

im uncertain about gettin a catback. i like the way my car sounds now with only a intake. If I floor it i get a nice throaty roar out of it.. but when im just cruizin 75 down the highway or whatever cant tell its there.

at 75 it is difficult to tell i have it, but the sound that it makes then is pretty badass to me. If you just get a cat without a straight or downpipe, its a nice deep resonating sound at idle...i liked it a lot! plus from the rear it looks sweet. All a personal preference, but if you want more power you need to do it, just chokin up what you have otherwise

yeah i talkin my stock gs.. so theres nothin to really choke on it right now, lol. I'v been reading up on rst's thread on turbo'in it and stuff but id rather designate this car daily driver and buy a gst/x to throw hp into. my new job is 20 miles each way so imma need somethin to rack the miles up on lol

yeah definately!!! dats wut sux with me, mine is my daily and my fun car, so its got some miles its over a thousand round trip from each time i go home for breaks :( If it is still stock yeah, definatley hold off on the cat, and save up for a GSX...wish mine was a GSX but i can live with the GS-T

yeah i think a gs makes a great daily.. its not really fast or nothing but itll hold 85 up hills on the highway without a sweat.. plus with the 5 speed its still fun to drive and i average close to 30 mpg highway.. but damm i cant wait to have a gst/x to play with on the weekends lmao

I have a 95 NT and Yea I am ghetto compared to you guys I dont have the big bucks for the Greddy or any of that. I have an OBX Evo Muffler and I had a muffler shop custom bend 2.5 in piping from the cat back. I love the way it sounds. OBX makes some awesome mufflers for the price and the EVO muffler looks bad ass out the back. The Muffler cost me 60.00 off ebay shipped and I found a muffler shop to do the custom bending for 90.00 so the total set up cost me 150.00

OBX does make nice stuff. My exhaust is quiet when I am crusing at any speed but then when i get on it a bit it's deep and then when i lay on it, it gets sort of a deep rice mix.

Yea I know what you mean Ashah.

yeah i dont get into the greddy stuff.. i mean my intake was 20 shipped off ebay.. only reason i bought it was cuz the stock plastic air tube was cracked somehow.. yea iv seen the obx stuff on ebay looks like decent stuff..

hey yall,

i got a 99 gs and thinking of getting a header and catback exhaust on it. I want a deep throaty sound but is not quite sure of what to get. What make the deep throaty sound anyway? Is it the header, exhaust, or both. I heard alot about greddy headers and magnaflow exhaust, but they seem kind of expensive. right now i'm looking at an Arospeed header and a Tsudo fireball catback system. They are alot cheaper but i'm not sure how they sound. If you have any info, please let me know.

I have the Tenzo-R muffler that gave mine a nice deep rumble... no rice... I just put on an OBX high flow CAT(straight tube with screen inside) and it's still nice deep tone...no rice...
BTW.. anyone in MN? want a more knowledgeable brain to see/hear my car and help me out a bit as for goods and bads...
