Which exhaust for me?

[shebangs]

Hi,

I've searched and read all exhaust threads on here, but most talk is about gains (which, for the 2kw @ flywheel I'm not interesting in)

I'm looking for a cat back exhaust (it'll be matched with an X-Force 4-1 header and modified cat, which at 2-3k RPM, isn't loud at all. At 4k I want it to sound nice (NOT a farty cannon noise though) - then anything above 5k I want it to go ****en mental.

As you've guessed she's my daily driver, so I want to make sure when I'm cruising to surfers on the M1 at 120KM @ 3500rpm, I can still have a nice conversion and listen to some tunes.

So far the Fujisubo Power Getter seems to be close from what I've read. Although I love the thought of the BC Spec 3 which apparently is the loudest? (but I'm scared at 3-4k it'll be too loud for me)

Thanks

If you want a quiet exhaust then the Mugen twin loop is the way to go. Or why not complete your X-force set-up with the X-force twin-loop exhaust. It is a replica of the Mugen one but at a quater of the price.

You wouldn't want a BC spec3 it is fuken loud!!! I have the Apexi N1 and it is loud as hell, i believe the BC spec3 is even louder. But it is a real head turner, rev it to abt 4k and see ppl instantly stare your way and the sound of vtec is fuken crazy!!

No I dont want it quiet. I just don't want it too loud at low revs! I'd be more than happy to have it bearable at 3000, then anything above that I don't mind it if goes absolutely crazy.

I dont think I want twin loop as it'll be too quiet.

My mate a custom exhaust on his celica, but even at idle it's too loud, and any revs at all it's too much, impossible to have a conversation. If your in the back seat, forget about it!

In VTEC I want it to go absolutely mental, and I know my Injen CAI RD1450 I have coming will help, now I just need an exhaust to match

BC spec 2 is the loudest bolt on cat back system.

If you dont mind the nosie after 3k then almost any cannon exhaust will suit your needs. I have an Apexi N1 and it isn't that loud below 3k and at idle it has a lil rumble. But at a bout 4k+ it starts to get really loud..
I would assume most other cannon style cat-back exhaust is similar to this.

fujitsubo rm01a is quite quiet, but then so is the tanabe hyper medallion... if your after a canon look get the fujitsubo, cause the tanabe is just a huge chrome cannister that looks semi-stock (but hell shiny )

Is the Apexi N1 just a bolt on, branded cannon?

I'm still deciding if I'll get this guy in Brisbane who does custom mandrel bent exhausts to do it, or get a off the shelt product. Getting it custom gives me more options, and is half the price, but the exact note I will get after it is one unknown, which is why I'm curious.

only got a pic of the tanabe muffler, there should be more in the review section with mo's black dc2r. anyway heres mine, looks alot better when ur directly behind the car, car looks fatter... but then it looks stockish, the only giveaway is the 3 inch tip and laser etching



not everyones taste, but then i dont like typical canon mufflers with the exception of the power getter (has a ridiculously long tip) and the spoon muffler (looks tiny)

FGK RM01A if you have the cash... even quieter than the Powergetter so I hear. Tanabe's larger size muffler setup should also prove quite well tamed noisewise.

Might wanna check out the Skunk2 reviews on Honda-Tech as well... Gingang is selling for a fantastic price.

As always the ugly Twin Loop muffler is also an option.
