24094, Quiet Cat-Back? Posted by cool_g_83, May-29-02 12:24 PM
I am pretty sure in the near future i will go turbo with a stage 1 for starters... anyways, i will need to upgrade my exhaust with a more high flow cat-back. When i purchased my car (96 esi) it came with some muffler that is loud and annoying. It really gets to me when i drive on the highway and sometimes when i drive around town. Anyways i was wondering what you guys would recommend as to the quietest cat back. One that can barely be heard at highway speeds, cause that really gets on my nerves. TIA

GST Exhaust is the exhaust for you. Most aftermarket exhaust are loud no matter what brand you go with.

So then a GS-T muffler would be the way to go? And thats all i need? If i do go turbo i probably wont get higher than a stage 2, if that....Thanks for the help in the decision making guys!

You say that now but just wait till that boost gets a hold of you. You are going to want more and more and more. TRUST ME

if you go turbo dont worry about your exhaust being loud.turbo will make it a lot quieter.

Shooot...if I could I'd have the sweet sound of the engine and turbo and no exhaust. I'd trade my APexi w/ 2 resonators for the GST exhaust if it didn't hurt my performnace.

So would it be better to get all the pipes with it or just the muffler???

24101, RE: Quiet Cat-Back? Posted by xeraxes, Jun-01-02 04:40 AM
get just the muffler cause the gst muffler uses the same piping... atleast i'm pretty sure

You could always do a custoem set up. find a good flowing quieter muffler, weld in a good resonator and you should get a fairly wuiet tone. And yes the turbo will aid in reducing exhaust sound as well.
