quiet aftermarket exhausts

[TTT]

Which company makes the quietest aftermarket 3"+ exhausts for skylines?

after my current system on the S14, I don't want a loud one for the next skyline I get.

I also don't want a cannon muffler.

what other options do I have here?

[Abo Bob]

I got a Fujitsubo one which is pretty quiet.

[Beer Baron]

Tanabe make some very nice quiet exhausts that don't have a cannon muffler.

[leech_]

my hks super dragger i think is pretty quiet. well i think it is

[Blitz]

Add the Trust Power Extreme and Apexi N1 Evolution to the list of options.

I am using the Apexi system on my GTR and its very quiet

[SRG33]

My 33 came with a Blitz 3inch cat-back exhaust from japan (with cannon).. When idling I rekon it sounds pretty quite/tame, but still very deep.. As you drive harder it gets noticably louder but..

Overall very well balanced cat-back system... Cost about $800 for cat-back or $1500 for full turbo-back system i hear...

I have a very similar sound clip of a blitz exhaust if u want it...

[Binky1970]

I have a full Blitz system and with the silencer in, it makes a really nice deep sound all the way through the rev range.

[=premo=]

second the Apexi N1, i left it on my import when i went through the inspection station and got 82db's (91 is the limit) and thats without the silincer which also works extreamly well.

my 3" blitz with large muffler is barely louder than standard

still sounds good though i reckon

jagr33 (jack) im pretty sure has a twin 2.5" mufflers on his gtr which i think flow just as much as most other 3" or 3.5" systems but are no where near as loud, perhaps you could pm him and ask what model he has?

[WazR32GTSt]

'quiet' for one person = 'loud' for another

what's my point? get a custom-made exhaust from a reputable exhaust shop and choose exactly how loud you want it

a $2000 brand-name piece of pipe doesn't automatically flow better than a similarly-shaped custom $600 jobbie... you can test a number of muddlers to find one you like if you don't want a cannon one.

but then again, some people just have to have the brand name...

I am yet to own a car (the count is 11 now I think) that has had a brand name exhaust.

All of mine were custom (at least cat back) and are always louder than others I've heard with jap systems.

that's why I asked the question.

hahaha, The liberty RS Turbo I had a few years back.. man that thing had such a deep and loud sound that it was unbearable at about 3200rpm.. it was a little quieter on either side of that rev range.

minimum 4 car alarms would go off in every car park.

the S14 is not that bad, but still loud.

come to think of it, my skyline before wasn't too loud and it was custom..

hmmm.

[Wazz]

my exhaust system is a custom 3inch mandrel bent job from turbo back.. its generaly 'quiet' but dont know wat the **** alarm system it was the other day but i started up in an angle park on a side street and set off a car alarm was rather funny but yer i havent been hassled about my exhaust by cops yet.. but yer its a plain straight thru system with just the rear cannon 4inch tip.. isnt to bad all up cost was around 1k for the whole system.. with split dump pipe all stainless.. all tig welded

[Lazy-Bastard]

I have a 3" with a 5Zigen muffler (non cannon) which is very quiet IMO...much quieter than all the HKS super draggers and other cannon systems I have heard.

[32vspecII]

fujitsubo make quiet exhausts , from memory the power getter , legalis and rm01 are all under the legal limit in aus

[raz0r$harP.UK]

hks hipower loud... dont go there

trust power extreme is extrememly quiet

when it was first on soudned softer than stock after a while its a little bit louder but still extremely quiet

[Feryha]

my HKS super dragger catback is quiet, but it make a very low deep rumble.

Got tested for 83dB which is under limit (90dB is limit in Victoria- EPA regulation)

[LBR33]

I had mine tested 105db but i cant figure out the brand

[Cubes]

I've got a custom aussy job.

It is a 3" from the turbo back, 3" highflow large cat, larger center resonator (this is the trick to a nice flowing quiet exhaust) and finally a large rear straight through muffler that only 'just' fits. The rear of the muffler is painted black and leaving the muffler is a single 3" s/steel tip. It doesn't attract any attention.

Nor does it have a 1kg milo tin sticker attached. hahah

The exhaust has a nice note, doesn't drone and cannot be heard when cruising next to it with the window up, with the window down you can only hear a slight growl.

D&T Performance in Adelaide (google) did the exhaust. One dissapointment with it is the lack of quality or care that went in to the dump pipe.

What do you mean by this? Did they damage something? I ask cause I got my catback done at D&T Performance, and was seriously thinking in getting them to do the full exhaust sometime.
