Exhaust Opinion...DC5R

**Stinger13** · 26-03-2008 07:14 AM

Hey guys.
I know this has been covered many many times before....but im after opinions. I've got injen cai...but nothing more and am looking for an exhaust that will have a nice deep...loudish note...not LOUD at cruise...but when hits vtec screams. I have been told power-getter is the way to go, and read a few threads comparing it and the toda system. It basically came down to looks as sound was very similar from what i understood...but can anyone throw in any other suggestions that would sound sweet with the cai? Anything thats worked for you or that you would recommend. I've searched through youtube and the likes a billion times...and i swear everyday i like something else...so help me please.

Feel free to chuck in links to clips too....that would be great
Thanks in advance

go the fujitsubo RM01A .. it's much better for low end to help the torqueless vtec engines ... the power-getters has a slightly bigger pipe and you will loose low end...unless you're chasing more outright power and less drivabillity.

I've had 4 hondas, a s15 and a WRX and I've tried so many exhausts ... I always go back to the RM01A. the quality is the best ever as well.

RM01A.. good gains, so well made, lovely note and it looks just right.

I have mugen twin loop. Personally I love the sound it makes at 2-4k RPM and how the tip is slightly larger then stock and dosn't attract attention.

You also have to factor in what headers you'll be running as this will change the tone also.

Twin loop's do sound great but the rear muffler and tip is so ugly.

Have you considered Amuse R1 with resonator. Not loud at cruise but has a nice tone when pushed, especially with an aftermarket exhaust manifold.

I had a mugen twin loop and just sounded like a big fart. they really don't sound good at all .. and kind of loud.

Pretty much narrowed down to hks hi-power, fgk powergetter or the toda. The rm01a just doesnt have the same...deepness to it the powergetter does. Not sure about power gains between the 2...but sound wise its the better for me. Heard a few clips of the hks now with injen and it sounds pretty good. As for the toda...is it really pretty much the same as the powergetter...in terms of sound and gains?

I did consider amuse...they are a great exhaust...but they are also out of my price league...hah.

Catback vs catback

The PG is louder then the RM01A and deeper in tone.

But after a header the RM01A becomes louder and deeper then the PG.
