Trust Exhaust

[Ronin 09]

Hey,

I searched the forums for 'Trust Exhaust' but didn't find any posts... I've ordered a Trust Power Evolution II turbo back, should be in mid january...

Was wondering if anyone has got or had this exhaust and how loud it really is...

Cheers

If your exhaust 100% like the one pictured, I reckon it will be LOUD... there's no sufficient size middle pipe resonator, and even the rear muffler does not look like it really dampens the sound... but I'm sure it will give you a good flow though for high boost/power applications...

Don't bother abt the resonator, it may not do much for noise dampening as it's not as effective as a proper resonator. My Trust MX has just arrived, not yet on the car, looks very similar to the pic below. I'm sure mine will be a quiet one as there are two resonators there and 80mm (3") pipe will still give me a good flow...

rs73, i had a feeling that it would be LOUD, but the guy at the shop told me that the baffle should eliminate much of the drone. Let me know what yours is like when you get it on the car, i might be able to get it exchanged. It probably doesn't help that the one on order has a 4" pipe....

Im sure the little thing at the bottom of the pic is a silencer and trust me they do work heaps well (put one in a mates N1 system when he had to goto pits) good if you want to quiet it down though i dubt you want to cause i wouldnt.

Yeap, I've heard a N1 on R32 with n without silencer. It does reduce the noise... dunno if it is as claimed by Apexi: reduce by 7db... but exhaust flow will be reduced though...

That's why hi flow exhaust like competition muffler will always be straight thru, no silencer, no resonator... but VERY LOUD

My MX Trust has 110mm tip, wonder if I chuck Apexi N1's optional silencer on to my Trust model as it's also 110mm. Just to silent it down even more again... kinda "stealth mode" exhaust... but will see till I put it on my car and how loud it is. Dun wanna neighbours start complaining, even worse, 1 building away of my house is an elderly house... so I gotta be careful not to rev my car too hard with aftermarket exhaust or I may get a letter from EPA.

The N1 system is dam loud but not over the top and has a real nice note.

Oh and i would really worry about the old people as most have hearing probs anyways

And if you get sent to the pits just wack the silencer in and im sure they wont even ask about the exhaust or keep the old one just for that reason, to swap if you ever need too.

yeah, by the way one of my neighbours has an old Ford Escort with leaking exhuast, and everytime it drove by it's SO LOUD you can still hear it after a block a way... Even louder than a Harley for you guys to imagine....

Kaboom... boom... vroom... vroom... clank... clonk.. vroom.. boom..

:burnout:

So my exhaust would still sound like musical heaven compared to his. :lol:

I had an old beemer 3 series with a supersprint back box and only resonators along its length, it was pretty loud i suspect around 95dB... i had angry enough locals then i hate to see what they'll do with the Trust installed!! :lol:
