*sigh* I know yet another stupid thread on exhausts.....anyways my tanabe racing tuner muffler is way to loud now with my header so i want to replace it with a quiet muffler. I have 2.25" custom catback piping with a bullet resonator. So i want some suggestions on mufflers that'll be quiet with just a slightly louder than stock sound level. So far i know apexi's WS, and tanabe's hyper are good choices. What about 5zigen, skunk2, etc. (real products not knock offs like ractive or OBX)?

I can vouch for WS. Really quiet, slightly louder when you get on it a little.

the only thing that sucks is that they don't have them in universal mufflers. this is also in case i stumble upon some one selling just the muffler as well. I'm also assuming mufflers that's aren't cannister style are quieter as well.

I used to have a apexi n-1 system installed on my car but now i switched to a Megan racing axel back with the apexi pipes..Now the exhaust tone is just nice and deep...=)

The Tanabe Hyper Spec muffler is quiet? I've always had the impression that Tanabe mufflers were very loud.

^your probably thinking of the larger canister mufflers (which tanabe is known for). but tanabe makes a hyper spec exhaust that sports a street exhaust.

tanabe's racing muffler's are loud. from what i know any larger cannister muffler, like the tanabe hyper, should be quiet.

i have a apexi n1 muffler with 2.25" piping and it is nice and deep, not too loud. the real one, not n1 "style"

Not Skunk2 because i have it and it's loud with headers and hi flow cat. I would said it's just as loud as a GT with exhaust or alittle louder.

The HKS HiPower is really quiet. At first it sounds pretty deep, but after a couple of weeks it tones down a bit. My K&N FIPK intake is louder than my HKS... LOL.

go rs*r, nice exhaust. i should have chosen it over tanabe srm.

 
Rep Power: 301

my only options are universal mufflers or people who are selling their mufflers for whatever reason. otherwise i would have gotten an R*SR or apexi WS.

too bad this wasnt like 6 months ago....i had a WS exhaust and i got rid of it...but the WS, and the RS*R is real quiet, if you can find just the muffler.

This weekend I had a custom axleback made with a Flowmaster Delta Series 60(made for imports) on my EX with stock piping and resonator. Its just a tiny bit louder then stock with a nice mellow tone inside the car. At highway speeds you can barely notice it. Flowmaster sells an axle-back kit, but its not for an EX or if you have a swaybar. I like it for what I paid, also it seems like my throttle response improved in the mid range.

hey guys what about the greddy EVO is that a quiet exhaust?

 
Rep Power: 0

The greddy sound horrable IMO i would never get one. My friend had one on his prelude and it sounded like all rice. Between skunk2 and greddy i would rather have skunk2 because thats the only i had come first hand with on a civic but i saw a video of one and it still sounded horrable.

 
Rep Power: 301

hmmm interesting. everyone here with one seems to love it.

download a video of them they sound horrable. I don't know what they sound like from the inside but from the outside it's bad. This is all my opinion though.
