26233, is there an exhaust that doesn't make sound?
Posted by kelsted, Jun-28-02 03:12 PM
I'm looking to buy a exhaust and i don't want it to make any sound. Is that possible to have or make? and if I get one with a silencer, will that really help take off the sound? If there are no exhausts that don't make sound, can someone recomend me one that is quiet.

thanks.

If you want quiet than stay with the stock exhaust. Or perhaps for some kind of medium go with a gs-t exhaust. Its louder than stock, but not obnoxious like the aftermarket.

Thanks but the problem I have with the stock exhaust, I mean the muffler is that it’s to small and it looks funny especially since I already have a body kit on my car.

What do you think about this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1839927351

Since it says that it has a low deep tone, should I believe that it’s at least quiet?

Its hard to say without hearing it on a car, but I would guess that it is not quiet. Some of these guys are adding resonators (cherrybomb glasspacks) to the exhaust and its suppose to get rid of the raspyness. I have the Gredy EVO on my car and it sounds pretty deep, and is only real loud WOT and only then at certain rpms. The drawback there is that it's a 500 dollar exhaust, the only reason I have it is that I got damn good deal on it. I'd say your best bet is to get a decent muffler and add a resonator to it like said above.

I guess another option would be a magneflow muffler. They are deep but not loud. The you could just add whatever tailpipe you wanted. Tough call... big usually equals loud and obnoxious.

Or try finding something with a "factory" look. I think Greddy makes a World Sport exhaust, similar in looks to what this is. If it's not a straight through design, it will be quieter. Here's mine.

Apex-i makes the World Sport, not Greddy. I have it on my car. It's louder than stock. Much louder than a normal car. Sorry man, but you're gonna have to put up with noise if you get an aftermarket muffler. GS-T exhaust is your best bet.

Who makes that exhaust that comes with a silencer? I havn't heard it on a car but from what I have been told it is suppose to quiet your car down enough that you wouldn't get pulled over....

It sounds like you want just the looks without any increase in sound. All aftermarket mufflers I know are pretty loud even if they say deep and low. I would just get a tip in your situation. Just get a tip welded onto the stock muffler.
