a lot of people say that my magnaflow isn't too loud, but sounds nice. and it isnt annoying when drive
i was thinking more along the lines of the greddy sp2 like its the oval canister and would seem less obnoxious. i think manny has it but i forget if it was loud.

tanabe has some really good quiet exhaust systems around, and mufflers too, their just kinda hard to find sometimes. Talk to shin I believe, he has a tanabe exhaust with silencer, and it sounds superb! wink.gif
borla makes some nice sounding mufflers, look great too

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
I have a Greddy knockoff for sale. Very quiet for a performance muffler. I might even have a sound clip somewhere. Check out my FS thread in the FS forum.

the greddy is great. nice tone without any loud ricer crap. problem is, greddy only sells a whole cat back. they dont just sell mufflers

itch, you can get the magnaflow oval style the almost looks stockish, like mine, with a smaller tip,
the only time mine is really "loud" is @ WOT

sp1? keep me posted please. been looking for an exhaust

I know you not looking for a cat-back exhaust system, but I will say the Greddy Sp2 is suprisingly quiet. I mean you can can barely hear it when the car is in idel. But when you put some gas, it has a NICE DEEP sound (not even near ricy). Anyways, the best money spent.
i already have full exhaust system full 2.5" turbo back, high flow cat, and no resonator (sp) right now its not rice at all. just to loud. while gassing it. and the canister style cops love to pick on. so an oval canister will rock. i like the sp2 and that apexi one looks hot!
guess ill have to save up smile.gif

I agree.. I did the 2 1/4 cat back with magnaflow... Sounds so sweet and isn't very loud at all... but enough you can hear it..

hey man, do you think theres any why you could get a sound clip or video of your exhaust??
I really wanna hear what it would sound like with what you have goin. Im considering almost the same setup.
if u want a muffler that sounds nice, isnt too loud, and is easy on the pocket, I suggest the muffler i got. Cost me $110, but the only thing is, alot of ppl dont think its good cuz of the brand. I have an APC muffler. Its their Stainless Steel Mini Round Muffler Race Style.

its 2.5" on the in-side and the tip is 2.75" or 3". But yea, it sounds great, isnt to loud, nice low tone, barely any interior noise. Best of all, on the highway, no sound what so ever. When ur curisin duin about 65-70MPH theres not 2 much noise. U can carry on a conversation with ur passanger easily without havin 2 yell. Its also good cuz its not long, so u can tuck it up under ur bumper easily too.

this is how it looks on my car.
" no resonator "

john thats your problem get a 2.5" perforated core resonator and you'll get quieter....resonators reduce noise....thats why yours is loud
yeah i suppose tongue.gif but i dont feel like cutting my exhaust apart to add one ill just replace the muffler and see how well that does.

Do you know if it is available for the ST205 too? I want a Tanabe since I heared it on the Supra of a friend but can't find any fitting the ST205.

cya, abraxxa
a universal tanabe muffler is wat you'd be looking for
I use two K&N's this gives a deeper note which does a lot more than it sounds (see my pic)

More Power to your BOOM BASS
ummm as cool as that seams.....two filters would be just pointless performance wise? and this is an exhaust thread...not an intake?
