Good Sounding Exhausts

Which type of cat, header, and muffler combinations do you guys think sounds the best. some guys at my school have like completely riced out there 240's and most sound like a long continuous fart. I dont want my car to sound like a total piece of shit like their cars do. Im sure they probly bought their exhausts at autojunk (autozone) and that would most likely be the main reason they sound so horrible. I plan on getting the 240SX APEXi N1 Dual Series Cat Back Exhaust from this site http://www.modacar.com/products/Nissan/240SX/ANDSC

What do you guys think about this exhaust, would it sound good and not like the fart cans that the ricers at my school have?

Look around first.

Those are just a few. Look on our FAQ page for some more. I have the Apexi N1 and it sound really good. Its only loud if you punch it, but not ricey loud. If it is too loud for you, order a silencer. I've heard lots of good things about the duals and they do sound pretty good. Its Apexi, countless hours of research. One of the biggest names in the industry. That exhaust only comes for 240s and rx-7s so I would imagine it was basically designed around the car. No worries, it will sound a lot better than those shit-cans from Autozone. Welcome to AF. Read the guidelines, the FAQ, and have fun.

Good choice. N1 duel cat backs produce low/deep sound. what kind of car do you have?

dual**

K&N intake , hot shot headers , apexi n1 cat back.

My N1 single sounds awesome with the silencer now. I don't know why I didn't get it to begin with.

on n/a the duals are fairly loud, but a good choice :) just remember if you want silencers you have to buy two of them, and the exhaust isn't stainless steel so it will start to rust in a few months.

my brother's shop has great mangle bent pipes, and then make custom pipes for cars. so, i was wondering other than silencers how could i keep my car quiet. right now i haven't done my swap and i have 2 1/2 cat back exhaust it gets kinda loud on the highway. since i will be swapping hoepfully by the end of the month when we make my exhaust is there anything i should do specifically to make it quiet? i don't mind using a silencer just curious on what else i can do.

i have a custom 2 1/4 cat back straight piping to a magnaflow universal aluminized steel muffler. and i also have the Greddy SP cat back..my custom setup sounds deep like the greddy sp but a lil louder and theres no rasphy pinch to it as you can hear on most ricers who throw some 20 dollar muffler on.
The only reason i got the custom set up was for the stock look..as law enforcement here in CA could care less if Greddy was 50 state legal, or dont even know what a CARB EO number is..well hey, just another 10 dollar fix ticket for me

actually the Duals are one of the quieter exhaust systems for an NA/KA, especially with that size piping. They sound deep but it really isn't that loud, the n1 single is much louder and annoying on a NA KA...

now if the question was turbo power... buy a 3" downpipe, have your friend at the muffler shop make a 3" pipe with no cat or muffler and dump it out somewhere...straight pipe... straight pipes on turbos OWN

i'd love to do that with my swap, but my state requires yearly inspections. though i am 91 i still have to pass emisssions and that is really the only thing i need to pass emissions. hmm, maybe i will just set up so that before my inspections swap in a cat pipe. i will look into that. so you think 3 inch exhaust with a rb20det will be relativly quiet with a nice deep purr to it?

rs*r exmag exhaust. best looking exhaust.....EVAR!

no ricey fart can look, nice almost stock looking but 3 inches all the way. thats what im gettin when my sr is in

How is that GP sports exhaust Logikal? I don't really see that one for sale too many places.

the apexi gt spec sounds great, if you like race style mufflers.

if you want a smoother quieter sound the tanaba is very nice.

gp sports was garbage, i dont even have it anymore. it friggin cracked and left me with a bad exhaust leak (people thought i had turbo that week). now i just got custom piping and used the muffler from the spec-d.

Roger that. ExMag is definitley not a ticket magnet. Nice and refined deep rumble. My choice as well. If you want something louder than the ExMag but want it to sound nice still, Invidia gets the job done like no other. Erotic.

i got a hotshot header, random technology "hi flow cat", and 2.5 inch custom catback with HKS hi power muffler and it sounds real good. But when you punch it everyone on the road knows it. Sounds real mean.

but iv always wanted to try fujitsubo out...and the HKS web site has sound clips of there exhausts on various cars to get an idea of what it would sound like. check it :naughty:

It's hard to find a good exhaust system that gives performance but doesn't let the whole world hear it. The guys over at this Mazda forum were commenting on it. I agree, I like the N1 dual cat back but still a little too deep for me. I want to change my stock one soon. Does anyone know why the porsche sounds the way it does? My uncle's 911 turbo, along with the other porsches has this faint, but recognizable hollow woosh.

HKS Hipower all the way nice and quiet deep low tone almost sounds stock.

I had a the ApexI N1 Duels and a high flow cat before i went turbo, sounds good..i liked it. I also like the Blitz Nur spec exhuast for the KA T...sounds even better on an SR20.

anyone know any sites where you can hear different kinds of exhausts?

How loud is the blitz nur spec catback(in comparison with all others) with sr? How does it sound with the silencer?
Does it sound (w/out the silencer) louder than the HKS Hi-power? I want my car to be 100% sleeper and sound relativley close to stock, and i dont want to get pulled over by the po-pos.

ahaha take a good look at the blitz nur spec.

a nice good close look


it will never EVER sound stock, unless the only exhaust blowing through it is through your lips.


just by looking at it you can tell its a loud ass exhaust.

LMAO yes i know NOTHING will sound STOCK, i just want something not "loud ass".....

ok bro, this is where common sense kicks in.

take a good look annd tell me if you think it will be loud.


kepp looking



think real hard.






ok, now that you know, you can ask a mod to close this thread.

have a nice day

actually today i put a 2 1/2 inch resinator(sp?) in my 2 1/2 cat back and it no longer sounds loud, but still purrs nicely.

best and cheapest place i have found for performance stuff for 240's
http://www.axronline.com/store-categories/Apex_282657.html

get a titanium exhaust with resonator etc.

if you want a quiet exhaust, it will only set you back a couple grand.
