Ideas for best stock looking exhaust
Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade my exhaust on my kouki, but don't want an attention getting exhaust both looks wise or sound wise. Im trying to stick with the dual tip look. If anyone has a pre-made exhaust or custom setup like this let me and pics would be great.

Import image is running a special right now on the megan racing type 2...for my s13 I was quoted 330 shipped, so id imagine it wouldn't be too much more...here's what it looks like for the s14, its what I want, and here's the link to their post

I thought there was a thread about this on the forum sometime ago. Oh well, if memory serves me right, HKS, RS*R, Blitz, Apexi all make a low decible street exhaust. They are all single tip though, I think Megan makes one that is twin tip. You should try searching or googling.

Thanks for your response Kiro1968, but I want to get info first hand from people who own or have made their own exhaust. I can look at pre-made exhausts from all those sellers all day, but still I want a users input.
RedSIBaron, did you already order that exhaust?? Let me know how it sounds to you and some pics would be great. I saw that exhaust too and I know Megan makes other parts but I dont know too much about their exhausts?? |

I have a custom made cat back with a magnaflow resonator and muffler on my s13. Looks pretty stock and sounds fine. I could try to get some pics for you, it's on my daily so it's not terribly performance oriented though.

A'pexi Noir is your best bet. Single canister though.
Only aftermarket exhaust that I know of that is specifically designed to be low-key, yet have good flow at the same time. It's a full cat-back. |

I've got an RSR exmag on the car, black chambered muffler out back...car is super quiet and perfect. The subtle tip works well too...if you don't clean it it will not be polished long, and really blend in.
BRM also makes a nice quiet stock looking one: Brm | Car(s) Select Your Car

^^Yeah that is my ideal exhaust if I wanted a single canister (flat black is cool too)and will be my choice if I cant find other solution. I recently found a turbo that I'm planning to install, not looking for insane HP numbers, but I got cops hanging out near my neighborhood and my daily commute so I want the least attention possible.

I have HKS Hi-power in mine, it has 1 resonator and the canister, while it doesn't look stock it is really quiet, but when you get on it it has a really good tone. (my car has a sr though).
my friend has the megan type 2 and its even quieter than mine. If you are looking for stock looking and quiet that's the way to go. |

I had the Megan type II m on my kouki for a while and it sounds great and looked bone stock. Only problem is after a long time (a few years) the black paint comes off, and i had a broken exhaust hanger. Other than it was great.

This a shameless plug, but I have a Blitz Realize TT exhaust for sale that might be what you're looking for. It's a single tip muffler, and it's polished, but it's very low key. 3in piping, but it's still really quiet. I've got pictures if you're interested.

the RSR exmag will really be quiet if your turbo, but on a ka like mine, its still deep and kinda up there but not loud. cops still bitch on how its stamped just say its a oem replacement.
but i love it still. |

Yeah, but your putting excess strain on your turbo and motor. The JDM stock exhaust for the SR was bigger than the KA's here. I think the KA exhaust was like 1.875" in diameter, where the JDM was over 2".

Dude just take your stock exhaust hollow it out and put some baffles in it to muffle the sound you'll get some extra power but sound and look stock that's what a buddy of mine did also I would recommend getting a test pipe

There is no additional "strain" from having a smaller diameter exhaust system. the cam overlap profile and tiny ass T-25 turbocharger exhaust housing provides far more "strain" on the engine in terms of exhaust gas pressure. Its when you upgrade that tiny exhaust housing to something that flows more- and requires more flow downstream- that you start worrying about exhaust system diameter. in which case you change everything out with the right size plumbing, and if you want stock exhaust STILL you just need to fabricate something up. I have a few ideas my (such as twin OEM mufflers) but nothing trial and error'd to the point where i would recommend doing it. I have tried the megan "stock look" exhaust system. it suits its purpose for looks, but you can HEAR that it is not stock, and Im not really sure I like the way it sounds either. |

gibson exhaust sound clips are proven to flow more percentage of gases than other type of pipes. They are also known to produce favorable and minimal sounds when the vehicle and so they become comfortable. This results in huge power gains in both horsepower and torque. Coupled with a profound belligerent sound that lets others know your truck is far from stock. The gash stern systems and twofold sport system increase the exhaust note a staggering minimal noise. This allowed you to still be legal in every state including California but toe the line of aggressive sounding systems.

Best low key exhaust? Get some custom pipes bent up and use that new dynomaxx vt muffler, its quite when you want it to be quiet and loud when you mash the fun pedal. Paint it with black underbody coating and put a turn down on it with the same underbody coat on it. It'll look more stock than the stock exhaust.
