Best axle-back?

ok so i have the 4-1 dc sport header, generic high flow racing cat., generic cat-back (yes i am cheap). now the muffler i got with the catback makes my car sound like its about to explode, does anyone know of an axle-back system i can get that is somewhat quiet? i did an LX to EX exhaust conversion so i can use any EX axle back system. if possible, could you post a sound clip? ive checked the sticky with all the exhaust sound clips, but all of them except the dc sports TCS exhaust are way too loud. does anyone know what the tcs will sound like with a high flow cat?

yes, HKS and trust make the quietest exhausts with performance gain

hks, parent company of trust

Thermal exhaust is my favorite. But they discontinued it, so your next best bet is HKS. All the others are pretty noisy.

actually trust is the parent company of Greddy USA, HKS is a seperate company of their own....as for the best axleback, i would go with the HKS, the fittment and quality of the piece more than justify the $$ cost...rule of thumb is...a axleback with larger diameter piping and a larger internal piping in the canister will produce a louder sound...so all those exhausts even the HKS will sound fairly loud when u change the piping before the axleback (just like my car on that sticky)

RSR ExMag is catback exhaust. Not Axle Back.

Most people has HKS rear section.

You didn't even had to do Ex exhaust conversion to get axleback.
HKS rear section will fit on any models . Coupe and Sedan.
And it is Very quite.

kamikaze header, rsr exhaust, would be the best quiet exhaust to me.
