hey guys i was thinking about putting together a custom pipe exhaust ...
2 main considerations ..2.25 piping ..one resonator, and either a Apexi N1 for a canister ..or an ES oval for the stock muffler look .. any better ideas ?... i want something extremely deep ..no raspy sound please

 

whats your setup.. if its n/a i would stay away from the n1.

 

i have 2.5 piping mated to an apexi n1 60mm canister. i love that thing! it's actually quieter than i thought (during normal driving) but on higher rpms it starts to yell. i previously had an e's 2.5 muffler and that thing was loud.
*it's for sale by the way if you're interested

 

get the n1...i have 00 si and it sounsd nice

 

I got somethign simular going to a skunk 2 muffler and let me tell you the muffler sounds absolutly great without the silencer

 

yea im stayin n/a .. thats surprising ..i heard the N1 was loud and the ES is relativly deep and quieter .. what ES are u selling? irie

 

I just got 2.25" custom piping and i have a no-name canister style muffler on it. It is pretty deep, no rasp whatsoever

 

buy a header tech header and dump it into an 18" long sliencer... that's all you need

 

comptech

 

i've got an es oval and it sounds great.

very expensive

 

well i was either gunna custom pipe 2.25 with a resonator to an N1 or ES oval .. but now im thinking of getting a catback .. im afraid of custom piping and then havin it sound like ***,... sohc_mshue ..how did u custom ur ES oval ..whats the sound like

 

i know what you mean. i've gone custom about 5 times on various cars, and they all don't sound as good as friend's catbacks. but the one thing i never had was a resonator. i've been told it gets rid of raspy exhausts and makes things quiet and deep.

 

Never had a custom exhaust or anything else for that matter but the other day I installed the HKS Hiper catback on my hatch and it's got a nice deep tone to it. For normal driving i'd say under 3400 rpm's it's not too noticeable. But after that it starts to pick up, but it retains it's deep sound. All in all i'll give it 4 1/2 out of 5, and a for HKS quality. Everything is just as I expected.

Does HKS make headers?

my es oval sounds great. Nice and deep. ....its loud as hell now that i put on a testpipe though

 

itr b-pipe and spoon street axleback. $$, but you pay for what you get.

 

My setup, IMHO best sounding exhaust ever made:

JDM ITR Header 2.5in
Flange to collector 2.5in
Carsound Cat 2.5in
Exhaust cat-back piping 2.5in
ES Oval Duel Tip muffler 2.5in

POW!

 

how much did it cost u guys to get ur custom exhaust done in total ..muffler, piping, labor

 

for mine the piping was 140, and my cheapo muffler was 120, and then i had a resonator put in for 40 more.. so in all it was close to 300 for everything labor included

 

ive got a 2.25 piping with a resonator and a esoval tip i love that little thing it sounds real good at the low end and i love how at the top end i can still here my intake more than the exhaust
