Hey I'm lookin to get a cat-back exhaust for my 01 LS. I want somethin thats still fairly quiet, any suggestions? thanks

 

im in same boat, i ended up orderin a vibrant muffler, and gonna have the muffler shop make me the axle back.

 

get a apexi noir or a apexi world sports.

i had a apexi WS2 on my accord and i could not hear it from the inside, but once i hit WOT, it roared.

i'm about to get a noir for my teg, gonna scrap the mid pipe and installing a bigger resonator on some SS pipes to connect to the apexi system.

A 14 inch magnaflow sounds good. Not too loud at idle or at crusing speeds, but gets loud when you get on it.

 

I've owned a magnaflow 2.25" catback system. It didn't sound baaad, but it was semi-loud. Very bassy, not bumble bee ricer bassy nut, i don't know...strong.

I've heard a lot of N1 style exhausts (like APEXi), and they're loud as hell. Not fun to be in or around.

Now I own a bottleneck free 2.25" header collector back exhaust system with an ITR axelback and I am sooo happy. It sounds sweet as hell, not too loud at all, but it's nice and strong after 3k.

 

itr is the way to go, unless you want a bit louder exhaust like Greddy SP2 and if you could find a rsr exmag I think that's your best bet. but iits discounted!

 

all i can say is stay away from greddy evo2, i have that on my 01 LS, and it f'n loud man.

 

I' musing a A'PEXi WS2 and it's literally too quiet till you open the taps. for the 400 bucks it was worth it though.

 

RS*R still makes exhausts.

Magnaflow with a 22" resonator sounds pretty good.

 

When anyone use the word "quiet" there is only one word. WS2. IMO, it's too quiet at times, that it make you think what did you just spend $500 on. If that will be you, add a header to add a bit more sound.

 

ws2 my buddy has that on his k20 hatch. when we drove it to the muffler shop to get it shortened (pretty much open header) that thing was loud as a **** but after wards the ride back was kinda awkward from how quite it was.

 

I have a vibrant muffler with a car and resonator. keeps it quiet and sounds pimp.

Also have the same set up on my girlfriends SI.

 

Are the sedan exhaust systems different from the coupes?

 

yes

 

Open headers!

 

Buddy Club Spec 2

 

i have the ws2 with header and highflow cat and its still very quiet i love it. But i would really want the itr cat-back i just like the stock look

 

I'm also looking for a good exhaust to buy. I've been looking around, and it looks like the Apexi WS II is a good selection. Its quiet, looks semi stock, and gives you the needed air flow. A buddy of mine has one on his teg, and he likes it. I think i'm going to get it especially because i commute to work 1 hour one way, live in sac, and hate cops! good luck with the search!

 

Comptech Catback quiet at any speed and lovely during acceleration. I have one for sale pm me.

yeah i hear the buddy club spec 2 is nice and quiet, from a mile away

 

is it possible to paint the ws2 muffler flat black? will the paint stick?

 

you know what the cheap but high end cat back is? buy the $99 greddy DT off ebay. it's a full axle back. then order the 2-3/8" mid section that dynomax makes from summit for $119. you have a soild stainless catback for just over $200. i have this setup on my car and it actually sounds really good.

 

so i have been looking for 4 door exhausts and they're kinda hard to find, I have an ls, would a exhaust for a 4 door gsr work?

My question was not are they different, it was would a 4 door gsr exhaust work on a 4 door LS?
