i currently have an apexi ws on my car (98 gsr) and would like to replace it with an exhaust that is a little bit louder. i was wondering if you guys can give me some input on these exhaust any good or bad things about them. thanks

if you want loud get a tanabe racing medallion, the greddy evo has a nice deep sound but if you dont want the "canister" style look the greddy sp is really nice but not too loud

 

Well, if you wanna be happy, you should get DC Sports. It's the best I've heard.

 

dc sports is fxckin whack. get the EVO. RM and apex N1 is the loudest..but evo represents the best imo.

 

Tanabe Racing Medalion is loud, the Greddy SP is actually quite quiet.

 

agreed

 

dont be a dick. let people think what they want.

 

I herd that the greddy sp resonator hangs low and scrapes a lot, is this true? does the evo have the same problem?

 

thats true, i used to have one.........one bad *** exhaust........i've had 3 exhausts and have heard alot of others and the SP is the best sounding out there........the EVO sounds crappy, ricey, and the tip looks too huge for my taste.........but if your going for loudness, i don''t think the SP is much louder, if any than the WS

 

are you sure that the sp is as loud as the ws? because the ws on my car is really really quiet. just a little louder than stock. you can't even really hear it above my aem usually.

 

i've never personally heard the WS exhaust, but if i remember correctly, some people said the sound is comparable.....once i got an intake, the sound of the intake would take over but the exhaust was still audible

 

Sp is as quiet as the Apexi Ws exhaust and I think the Greedy Evo exhuast are AWESOME. They are a little loud but not too loud and they sound great. You cant go wrong with the Greedy Evo. Looks GREAT TOO!

 

evo isn't for everyone, but then again neither is the SP. I have had my SP for about a year now and i like it alot. I can see where the resonator may hang too low of you have a lowered car but im at stock ride hight. However, the evo, is designed with lowered cars in mind if i recall correctly. IF you want a loud one or a fairly loud one the SP is not the one to get. Its stock volume at idle. When rolling its almost unnoticeable but once on the gas hard its got a great sound i my oppinion. Again, not everone like that sound. Some advice, go to a local cruse location, listen to cars, ask questions. Reguardless of weather you get the evo or the SP you cant really go wrong with the Greddy quality. Good luck.

 

well i was thinking of something that made some noise but not so loud like n1. i guess i'm looking for something that is about as loud as my friends trd exhaust on his celica gt, don't know how many of you have herd one, but yeah.

 

You'd love the Comptech... quality and tone is exceptional... but...

I've got the SP now with NO cat and it sounds great. I love it. The ONLY thing I don't like is the bling bling when riding behind my car. Headlight it, street light it.... it's quite noticeable. It's quieter than the EVO, but sounds great when you get on the gas. I've only heard the EVO on a Prelude and it sounded ricey. Don't know about an Integra.

I didnt get the EVO b/c I like the design of the SP... I didn't want a canister. GReddy is good quality, but I wouldn't say it compares to the Comptech.

 

I have the tanabe racing medallion and that is loud. Set off all the car alarms you want.

 

you mean loud??

 

I like my evo, it's the only one that i have installed myself. it has a good tone, and it doesn't drone too much on the highway.

 

best exhaust i heard is mugen... quiet at cruise and idle, but floor it and it screams with a clean agressive tone.

i haven't heard DC Sports... I know the design is a copy of the mugen, but does it sound like it at all or what? DC Sports sound clip anyone?

Greddy EVO is a great sounding and legally loud exhaust, so its relatvely quiet. However, I feel the sound is a bit on the ricey side... same with 5Zigen... its just a really common sound now. (since they are some of the most popular exhausts)

 

Is DC Sports loud? I have been looking at Greddy EVO but I have my mind set on DC Sports, is it noticeable?

 

I don't think he was insulting the guy - just stating his opinion about DC Sports. Of course, an explanation would help.

The SP is awesome - I actually think it's a little loud (especially if you have a short-ram intake), but it's definitely not as loud as the N1 or RM. The sound is deep and smooth... if you get I/H, it's becomes more throaty, but still deep. Very mellow. I've had mine for about 3 years now and no problems. There have been problems with Greddy's rusting out, but I haven't had any (driving through east cost cold and wet weather) and last I heard, Greddy's offering a 3 year warranty on their exhausts.

Of course, DC Sports exhausts have also had problems... they sometimes fall apart at the welds. But in terms of durability, I would say the DC Sports exhaust is better.

Ultimately though, it doesn't matter all that much which exhaust you choose.

Any one will be fine it is a matter of your preferance in looks. IMO all greddy's sound sweet

 

I thought my EVO was slightly ricey when I was NA. With the turbo on, I think it sounds nice.

 

I love my DC, its very deep. Only gets loud when you step on it.
