are they loud? does anyone know one here?

whats the rule of thumb for a loud exhaust...

piping.. inlet? size and diameter of the muffler box itself?

 

I got this info off http://www.greddy.com I hope it helps.

HON PRELUDE 1997-01 PIPE(mm) 60-70 TIP (mm) 115 fits SH and Non SH w/ included adpt. 10156680 $669.00. (4.5") Exhaust Tip

 

yeah thanks for that.. but would like to know if anyone owns one on these forums and can say they're good.. and QUIET??

 

I have a video of a PRelude with the Greddy evo 2 exhaust, IM me at H22a4TypeSH ON AIM and i'll send it to ya.

 

I have it. It's very quiet at idle and not under load i.e. cruising. Good exhaust, the tip is entirely too big though. It's 4.5" wide.

 

exactly what jackstands said. it has a gentle purr at idle , and pretty quiet during cruising. however while downshifting, or full acceleration, its noticeable.
very good exhaust, i have the prototype from greddy

 

ide rather get the greddy sp 2.

 

id rather spend a 1/3 of that price and have my own made.

 

yeah thanks for the input fellas...

was just looking at getting something quiet.. with the look of a good exhaust... coz im getting sick of the sounds...

 

Definitely check out the RS R ex-mag exhaust. The single tip isn't too big at all and it is said to sound mellow but only a little louder than stock. They say that even at higher rpm's its quiet but you still get the power gains. However, I don't know if they make one for 5th gens, I only know that they make them for 4th gens. Good luck!

 

thanks for taht.. will definetely look into it..

 

i own the evo 2 on my 4th gen Si. i like it. it's never loud till i hit around 5.5K rpm and still its rather unnoticable.

 

i have the geddy evo 2 on my lude and it isn't loud at idle or just cruising but when u get on it it gets kinda loud i like it alot

 

well thats what im basically looking for.. something that gets loud.. when I REALLY push it.. not just at 2-3krpm etc..

 

Yes, you will be very happy with either Greddy exhaust. It definitely does not have a ricey sound. Check them out at http://www.iapdirect.com Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Evo 2 is very smooth sounding. I got lucky and found an Evo2 on Ebay for $220 shipped. It came off an RSX, so I dropped 125 on custom 2.5 piping. Overall, I got an Evo2 catback system for a Grand Total of $345. Only glitch was its a turbo muffler and the ****** that sold it to me didnt tell me or was so stupid he didnt know, so it BARELY fit on the car. Still a hellified deal.

 

So the greddy evo 2 definetely isnt a loud exhaust.. only at high revs.. say past 3-4KRPM?

Also check into a thermal R&D exhaust its a sleeper exhaust. The tips are slightly bigger than stock and its quiet.

 

where can I find out more about this?

 

what about the apex ws... looks nice and isnt loud. i have a a/v clip, ill find it and post later.

 

well if anyone can post up their pics/videos of their exhausts.. that would be great!

 

I think all those mentioned are good choices. If I had had the $$$ to buy a new exhaust, I was going to get the Fujitsubo Legalis R. I also love RS*R Ex-Mag's style and sound. Heard a clip of the Apex WS and I thought the sound was kind of flat. Thermal is a great exhaust, as well as the Apex N1.

I'm extremely pleased with the Evo 2's sound (especially considering my car had a straight pipe with a ****** Pilot tip when I bought it! The reason I love it so much is that its loud when I want it to be; It screams in VTEC (5000 to 8000).

 

Yeah I have the EVO 2 as well. Sick dude, go get one, definately not so loud I was worried about the same thing as you.
