yes. i did search, but came up with this idea. is anybody running turbo with 2.5' or 3' dp with STOCK exhaust?? what is the best possible quiet exhaust?? any combination with resonators and quiet exhaust will be appreciated. Thanks a bunch

 

any cat back with a resonator is gonna be pretty quiet, my friend is runnin a 3 inch dp and thermal without a resonator and its quiet.

 

i run a 3" down pipe with a reducer to a 2.5 greddy evo exhaust and it's not lout at all. it's only 98db cops won't mess with you with this exhaust.

 

anybody running with stock exhaust?? any reduction in power??

 

you will lose sooo much power with stock exhaust its silly to even consider. My friend is running 2.5" exhaust from the turbo back and when he removed the silencer from the muffler he gained an instant 65whp.

Personally I run 3" right from the turbo back with no restriction with a HKS carbon Ti muffler and its hella deep sounding and have had no probs with the cops

 

can anybody make a sound clip of the thermal 3" cat back..perferably without a cat...

 

2.5" custom piping with 14" resonator to hks hipower muffler for now...idles quiter then stock...and is not loud at all driving..utnil WOT

I'll beleive it when I ehar it.. Not saying you are a liar. just it seems that everybody I've met taht has said taht, it sounds competlely louder then stock. Stock exhaust on a car is soundless pretty much. Can't even hear the exhaust unless you are right behind the car by the muffler. To the owner inside tehc ar it might seem quite, but everyone outside would disagree I'm sure.

 

If your wanting the quietness of the stock setup, but full power of a 3in setup, run a cutout. Im in the process of running one myself, still have quite a bit of fabrication to do.

search for the apexi ws turbo muffler
there was a thread before with sound clips and a sound clip of my loud *** exhaust

 

I plan on running a 2.5" greddy downpipe, 2.5" carsound cat and the old-school 60mm DC Sports cat-back exhaust.

HP robbing but I DON'T CARE!!

 

i run 2.5" dp, 2.5" cat and stmanderl bent exhaust with resonators, no bottlenecks, but its pretty quet when cruising and idle

 

3" straight pipe, no cat, resinator or muffler. Not the quietest solution but best for power and now overly loud. You'd be surprised

 

3" straight pipe all the way back.

 

i got a 3inch dp to a three inch thermal and its loud as hell to me.

 

I got kteller mandrel bent 3" all the way back, 18" resonator and magnaflow muffler. Its pretty quiet for 3" piping, and it looks mad stock.

Pretty much as long as you get a resonator and use something bigger than a canister style muffler it'll be quiet enough.

 

Most exhaust systems with an OVAL muffler will be nice. It's all the bullet style round canistors that suck

 

will the resonator reduce any power from turbo? as far as i konw, it shouldnt...but just verify with me. thanks

 

As lnog as you get a straight through resonator you'll be fine.

 

I had a 3" piping exhaust...with a CATCO (hollowed-out) high flow cat and a DYNOMAX round muffler. It was rather quiet with a nice low tone to it. Sounding like a mad lawnmower is so freakin RICED out!!!

 

i run 2.5 dp with stock s2k mufflers. it robs my hp, but i love the quiet ride. plus, you get to hear more turbo spool.

i got 3 exhaust tickets in 2 months, i had to do something before the ***** rob me blind.

 

i run 2.25" piping, 2.25" resonator, and a 2.25" in/out flowmaster 60 series muffler. Its very quiet.

 

^^ that's why your only getting 183whp

you need to go 2.5 or bigger.

I say go with the rule of the least amount of back pressure immediatelydown stream of the turbo. So, go with a 3" dp, to a 2.5" or 3" cat (yes, save the planet), then nothing smaller than a 2 1/4 exhaust withouta resonator & a straight through muffler w/ steel wool material inside. It's a compromise, you have less back pressure build up to rob power, but not as much exhaust noise. Face it, you will never find a free flowing exhause which is as quite as stock without some restriction.
