Quiet Exhaust Setup ?

[Rnoodles]

Looking for least sound from my ka-t 3" turbo back, has huge no name can i need to change and small resonator + cat. To loud for my taste. Do i need a pre muffler after cat before resonator ? How are the fujitsubo and apexi ws2 mufflers ? Any feedback from those who have ?

[franklin93zx]

Just shove babies in the piping and you'll be set.

[s13pignose]

Look for the biggest muffler you can fit , and try to avoid canister types. More along the lines of world sport, rsr, etc. As for resonator try and get the biggest you can for that too. Obx makes one pretty big and vibrant does too, think vibrnat calls it the ultra quiet resonator or something. I've seen both on ebay and both are stainless. I would just run it like factory set up...cat->resonator->muffler

high flow 3" cat->resonator->muffler

make sure you get a high flow catttt

[s13pignose]

Good point

[murda-c]

3" piping with a vibrant resonator and an STI muffler.

[Schassis707]

i had the ws2 on my civic when i had it and u couldnt even tell my car was on until high rpms, even than it was the little honda motor not done accelerating.

[redhatchy92]

rsr ex-mag catback with i high flow cat. i have it on my n/a and its really quiet. atleast compared to my old bc spec2 lol.....

[grudge]

+1 this is my setup at the moment. love it

[wh0aitznic0]

Buddy Club Spec II is pretty quiet.

Dart Izumi as well.

[unreal-]

Blitz Realize TT. I run it on my 240. i have I/H/E/S13 Cams with random exhaust leaks, and its quiet at idle. When its warmed up you can barely hear it. But when i go WOT or more than 50% throttle its pretty loud. Rev-matching sounds incredible..Overall its one of the quietest exhausts that you can STILL buy. I was disappointed when i found out that the Apexi Noir was discontinued.

5zigen border 3 70mm pipping exhaust, chop off the tip and make it dolphin tail.

megan racing type II 3" exhaust

[CaptainVlad]

I have a Blitz Nur Spec and its pretty quite on an SR.

[nismoracingsx]

the isis mb se is really quiet, its a knockoff of the apexi megaphone which i think is no longer made..but the mb se is really freakin' quiet, i switched to it from a canister and my wife and i were stunned at how quiet it is now @ 60-70mph

[RPS13-604]

I have a Blitz Nur Spec and its pretty quite on an SR.

Im with this guy i have a blitz nur spec r on sr20det its quiet with a lil rumble but when u WOT its loud but not overboard

[turbo_dreams]

I'm running a Fujitsubo Legalis R, quiet enough for me to cruise on the highway and still carry on a convo...i hear more road noise then motor.

[slideways2004]

i had the ws2 on my civic when i had it and u couldnt even tell my car was on until high rpms, even than it was the little honda motor not done accelerating.

lol! I had a civic for a daily and I had the same one. Great exhaust!

[bb4_96]

Smaller diameter piping will be quieter.

[japslapsilvia]

Espiler JGT-500, sounds very nice....not very loud at all.

[driftsilvias13]

I just switched from a greddy ti-c to a megan type 2 due to not wanting to attract attention. The difference was big. Much better for daily driving.

[drift213]

my nismo catback is super low key i just love it :D big difference from my apexi gt 3.75"

[Flicktitty]

Megan OE Type 2

[allntrlundrgrnd]

I have megan racing type 2 on my car with sr20. Straight 3" pipe all the way through to the muffler.

Heres a lame video of my car with it. It would be even quieter with a cat installed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SUXV5gl8bE

car is for sale BTW

[illvialuver]

I thought the reinhard was pretty quite. Without a any type of restriction other then the baffles that are in the tips, its essentially a straight pipe. And I am n/a, but I am planning on getting a resonator so I can take out the baffles.

I thought without a resonator it was going to be loud as shit. But its a whole like quiter then my old trust dd with a hole in the muffler.

[nathanong87]

see OP, what did i say. megan type II!!!

[240sx123$]

I have the Megan Type 2 on my 240.. Non turbo KA, with just an exhaust. Its LOUD. If this is what quiet is supposed to be, Id hate to hear a loud exhaust.

Not a worthwhile purchase. Ive had the exhaust about 2 years, and ive already had the axleback hanger rust off twice. I welded it back on once, gave up the second time and just covered the hole with a peice of sheet metal. Honestly, get a stainless steel exhaust. Its worth the money if youre going to keep your car for more than a year or two. My Megan started being crappy after about a year. Not to mention the fitment wasnt that great outta the box. Im looking for quiet exhausts to REPLACE my Megan.

Also, Im running a stock cat. And its still BALLS loud.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

Put a turbo on your car

[240sx123$]

You talkin to me? Yeah Im aware the turbo will quiet it down. But like a lot of people on this site, with the addition of a turbo comes the removal of the cat. If its this loud with a cat and no turbo, I cant imagine itll be much quieter with a turbo and no cat.

[p3t3y18]

i've been looking for a quiet exhaust also and ended up getting the apexi noir. im happy. :hsdance:

my buddy has an s14 n/a with a 3" apexi noir catback and it's quiet as hell... Not even in high rpms you can hear it... You can actually hear his engine more now that he has it .. My other buddy has ws2 and his quiet as well...

[turbo2nr]

stock exhaust + cutout

ftw

[WanganRunner]

Anything with a silencer. Makes all the difference.

I have a huge obnoxious 3" HKS Hi-Power on a stock KA, which should be fucking crazy loud, but with a silencer it's not bad at all.

[fckillerbee]

bro, just put a honda muffler on and call it a day.

[ROOSEY]

Buddy Club Spec II is pretty quiet.

LOL! but in all seriousness when i had my KA i had a hi power on it and it wasnt loud untill you really got on it. idk these are the only two exhuast ive ever had. spec two is loud as ever!

[nissanwithattitude]

I also have the Megan type 2 and love it for dd

[Rnoodles]

car is turboed and has cat !
Seen some videos of the apexi noir seems to be the most quiet,

[arabtitalator]

I'm running a Fujitsubo Legalis R, It's perfect if you're looking for a quite yet throaty exhaust. It's not raspy at all, opens up really well brings out a little yet quite noticeable amount of life over a stock setup. Very quality build good welds, solid design fits flush.

[Rnoodles]

yes seen those too, hmm now i dont know which one to buy, world sport which is same as noir correct ? fujitsubo, vibrant didnt seem bad either tho

[chrisss]

x2. i have the blitz realize tt with i/h. theres a stupid exhaust leak somewhere and its still quiet.

he ain't lyin either. it's true. i made an in car video before and you cant even tell i have exhaust.

megan type II

Nvm sorry I didn't read your post, Like the 2nd reply said go turbo..

otherwise, just go back to stock exhaust, I don't really care for flow on a NA 240sx, you would need a little back pressure any ways, I'd love to go back to stock, I hate having an exhaust on a KA sounds like shit, don't deny it.

I have a straight 2.5 inch with a 22 inch res from a toyota sienna, and its to loud for me, I don't notice any performance gains from that shit, I would love to go back to stock.

[st280]

stock exhaust + cutout

ftw

+1.

I need to post up some sound clips of mine with the new cutout setup.

[Feast Japan]

For high quality try out an HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust system. Extremely well made and will last for years to come.

60mm for NA and 75~80mm for turbo cars are made.

[ATLspeed]

Custom Exhaust
3in (or 3.75 to take up for lose of hp thru mufflers)
- Muffler in place of stock cat
- Resonator in mid-pipe (optional)
- Muffler at end of exhaust

Buddy has his s14 ka-t (524hp) set up with a Magnaflow/Flowmaster (forgot) in place of cat and another Magnaflow/Flowmaster at the end.....sounds like a stock exhaust...except when the open-wastegate opens up lol

tru dat... that would've been my second choice. plus it has that close to stock appearance as well which i like.

Quiet exhausts are lame.

APEX'i Noir. Done and Done.

[Levan. B]

The ISIS Mbse is the most quiet ive heard in person. ive also had one on my car, i loved it.

[CamryOnBronze]

[Shameless Plug]

I have a GReddy SP2 muffler for sale right now that is really quiet.

[/Shameless Plug]

[Osmosis]

Veilside Evolution is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper quiet.

[h2v7]

what about that butterfly valve that goes from straight pipes to full muffle with a flip of a switch?

[Homer_Simpson]

Use a Moroso Spiral Flow as your resonator. I used a 3" one on my old car and it basically killed ~50% of the loudness at idle and WOT.

[GroundPerformance]

I'm using this 5-Zigen muffler on my N1 style 3" Catback and thing sounds quiet and looks stock..

[whitenoise]

I'm running a JGY 3in resonated testpipe, and 3in apexi noiron my ka-t. It sounds like a factory evo 8 with just all spool from intake sound , quietest iv ever had, I got luck last July when it was on eBay , just keep an eye out , they've been discontinued for a while now but sometimes u see them pop up here and there.
