Sick of my exhaust!

i got a spoon exhaust so loud, and im fed up with exhaust sound wondering if there is a way to get performance out of an exhaust without any loud sound, hmm... get a stock sound but with performace, any way of customizing ?

I would suggest looking into a silencer for your spoon exhaust system.

i would get a silencer. i had custom piping and it is loud, i put a silencer in and tone went down to almost nothing. youll feel a bit more low end but wont shift as high(well that was in my case).

there is no such exhaust. less restrictive exhaust will always sound louder. the stock exhaust muffles sound with a complex maze of baffles and ports that air takes forever to get through.

Get a RSX-S axel back. they flow nice, very quiet, and are very cheap. Or get a DC5-R for more money. Screw fart cans

So you basically have a straight pipe to your spoon axle back?

If thats the case, buy a Bullet type resonator, take it to a muffler shop and have them weld onto your straight pipe. Shouldn't lose power but still lessen the sound of your exhaust.

i think the greddy evo ii catback is quiet at idle and only gets loud if you jump on it. and even then, its not loud. id say 3.5/5 in loudness.

I have the Apexi WS2 and sometimes I almost think its too quiet lol. You can tell its there, and it sounds great at WOT, but its soooo quiet usually sounds like stock.

Try using second resonator, or go stock ehaust with exhaust tip of your choice.
Unlees its a sound you're after, catback without other mods is basicaly useless.

how does the WS2 compare to the Greddy SP2 very similar? They also look similar but i prefer the WS2 because it doesnt have that lip thing at the end

wsII very quiet like stock, tcs on the low side but makes a sporty sound like v6 eclipse stock exhaust, rsr/greddy evo mid range usually loud and on the border of becoming annoying, skunk2 time to wear earplugs.
