Best Sounding Exhausts

AdvanTech · #1 02-03-2004, 06:56 PM

Im looking around for exhausts and I was just wondering what manufacturers make the throatiest, nicest sounding exhaust systems. Or maybe where I can find sound clips of what they sound like. Thanks

Tanabe. I have it one, and it sounds great. Performance is also top notch. Can't ask for anything else.

I love the sound of my GReddy. Throaty is the best way to describe it.

There is no "best sounding" exhaust. Too many people with too many different opinons on what sounds good.

I would suggest looking around loacaly, and on local boards and find people and listen to thiers and then you will have a better idea of which one is best for you. Exhaust kits are not cheap so you want to make sure you get the one you want.

GJ whtteg. thats 100% right

Thanks for the advice, but I think of a nice sounding exhaust as deep throaty an a little menacing, but not too loud as Ive heard too many stories about the police pulling you over for an overly loud exhaust. But thanks alot for your input as this is really helping me because I usually hear good things about the exhausts that have been listed, but if anyone else has an opinion on what sounds best, thats all I ask, because I cannot say that your opinion is wrong. Thanks again

hey hey This one is polite GJ you'll learn and lot and get anwsers from quicker. Me my fav is my 5 zigen its loud but great ass tone. RSR is the best quieter exhaust I think. Apexi WS is another great one. GL and thx for being polite.

Thank you once again for your input and I think I narrowed it down to four exhausts. Skunk2, GReddy Evo, Tanabe and 5Zigen. Now is the hard part. Narrowing it down to one lol Ill think about it, but this hepled me alot.

Personally I'd go with the GReddy EVO. it's the only close to stock looking one out of your choices. The Skunk2 (and 5Zigen depending on which model) are both N1 type/style exhausts, and WILl be loud and could get you pulled over. The GReddy has a nice and semi quiet tone, but it's deep and throaty.

But just as an FYI, the A'PEXi World Sport is about $100 LESS than any of those exhausts that you are considering, and that's what I run on my Civic and I'd HIGHLY recommend it. It's very quiet, almost as much as stock, but get's louder when you have the accelerator to the floor. Has a very nice quiet, but deep tone. Definitely won't get you pulled over.

I see what you mean about the APEXi WS, but I think I might like to be heard a little, so Im not sure exactly how quiet quiet really is. But it definately could be an option.

Yea I want to get the skunk2...noone I talk to ever says anything about it. ALTHOUGH Eric (used to be here) said he had the 5 Zigen Fireball and he said the skunk2 was just about as loud except a lower tone. I'm going to give it a go. I mean it's SKunk2 Can't be too bad. lol

Get an intake and you'll be heard. I have a short ram with an A'PEXi filter on the end, and that's what makes all of the noise my engine produces mod wise. Everyone thinks it's my exhaust, but it's all my intake. I've even had it set off car alarms on the street before with it (my intake), LOL! When I had my stock airbox on for a few days over the summer, I almost thought my exhaust had been ripped off me because I couldn't hear it while driving. A quick check to the back of the car, and all was well. I mean it's not NOT hearable like the stock exhaust. But it's just as quiet at normal speeds. Punch the gas and you can hear it more. Also when you're at mid to higher RPMs and you let off the throttle completely, it has a very nice and deep tone as the RPMs wind down. Mine seems to produce the best tone at the 1900 - 3000 RPM range.

No one mentioned the DC Sports System. It is very comparable to the Apexi WS, but the DC is 100% stainless. I love the way mine sounds, its got a deep sounding tone, and looks really nice.

getting a cold air intake will enhance the performance and sound of your exhaust alot. i personally think rsr makes the best exhaust i've heard two hatch backs with them it just sounds killer. they are expensive though
