Default apexi vs greddy exhaust

ok i have an aem v2 intake and a dc race header. i like how quiet my car is but i am getting ready to kpro it and get a tune so i figured i might as well do exhaust before the tune.

here is my question, which would be quieter with the race header? Apexi World Sport 2 or Greddy Spectrum Elite? of course I care about performance but i am not willing to have a fart can to gain a few hp.

also it will be supercharged next year if that matters...

If it is going to be supercharged build your own exhaust. You'll get the looks, the horsepower and the sound all at once and you can build a better than either of those listed in a full 3" for just as much if not less money.


Full 3" Kteller piping, vibrant ultra quiet resonator and vibrant muffler of your choice (hell any 3" muffler of your choice)

my $.02
or if you really want just one or the other of the ones you listed it doesn't matter your N/A setup isn't anything fancy or spectacular so it doesn't matter. Flip a coin or find one nearest you cheapest...

Thanks for the input and for now I was scared about 3 in piping being too loud but when i supercharge it I wont care.

So for now I went with the Greddy Spectrum Elite, it looks and sounds amazing.

Now my i/h/e is complete with an aem v2 intake, dc stainless steel race header, and greddy spectrum elite exhaust. I am in love with my car again, now KPRO

Greddy makes some quality systems. Good choice.

Go with the greddy spectrum elite. i recently just got the greddy spectrum elite catback exhaust in replace of my greddy evo2. i also have greddy headers. i love the sound! its quite enough for daily driving but when u get on it damn does it sound good. i am very satisfied.

Sounds like it's not going to be quiet for long. I have a Greddy and it sounds good but it's "loud-ish" depending on what you consider loud(i grew up with american muscle and drag cars are what I consider loud). Look up some video's on youtube to get a reference, they're not exactly right but they give you an idea. No matter what it's still going to have that "fart can" look/sound for the most part...
