Whats the Quietest exhaust? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

240sxlovr · 07-24-2008, 03:57 AM

hey, thanks for reading. I recently purchased some DC headers, and am wondering what's the quietest exhaust to put on my car? I want to get something better than stock. At least something that looks better than two little tailpipes sticking out. haha! Thanks again

buddy club spec II....

i think someone will get that joke.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 07-24-2008, 07:38 AM

quietest other than stock? Dump the muffler and change it to a different muffler and keep the stock craptacular 2.25" pipes with 90 degree bends.

nathancolston · 07-24-2008, 07:45 AM

i have a 3 inch dp and 2.5 hks cat back it sound like a stock 240.

Dutchmalmiss · 07-24-2008, 11:17 AM

ooorrrr you can keep the stock exhaust and weld on one of these

ms!3 · 07-24-2008, 11:29 AM

You want quiet? Run custom, 2.5 inch pipes or so. High flow cat, resonator, magnaflow/flowmaster muffler. Shouldn't be much louder than stock at all.

This is what I have. Even on a V8 it's still very quiet.

qt_240 · 07-24-2008, 02:04 PM

yup

or the Megan Dual tip...its what i have...and its pretty quiet even with 3'' pipping, well i do have a high flow cat in there...but a resonator would do the same...if not quietter

hustlervibes · 07-24-2008, 05:28 PM

I have a custom 2.5 with a moroso sprial resonator and some kind of muffler and it's pretty quiet. DALAZ has heard it.

240sxlovr · 07-24-2008, 08:35 PM

Thanks for all the ideas! i really like the megan sileighty suggested. I am gonna look into it. Thanks again

dm-ka · 07-25-2008, 12:28 AM

You have a few choices. They are Apexi N1, HKS Hi power, Blitz realize tt or one of the Nismo NA exhausts(you have to source one of these from Japan though). All of these are relatively quite. If you decide to get Apexi or HKS make sure it is 65mm/2.5 in. in diameter otherwise they will be loud. If you are lucky enough to get Nismo exhaust get it and do not think twice about it you will never regret it (I had Nismo on my Zenki and absolutely loved it). As for Blitz I do not have personal experience with them but those who get it seem to like it (also it would probably be the most expensive one). Good luck.

jrocslider · 07-25-2008, 12:37 AM

my lil brother ordered the apexi hybrid megaphone from enjuku a while back and that sounds stock until you get to the higher rpm. compared to my BCspec2 umm yeah.

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 07-25-2008, 12:54 AM

^^^^^^same one i used before. living in la i know all anout cops fucking with me. not after i got this exhaust!

Wtf are there so many threads with the EXACT same title.

Shit, just run stock exhaust.

StaticX27 · 07-25-2008, 01:31 AM

Fujitsubo Legalis-R

I've sold and installed dozens of different catbacks, those three are the best choice for quiet/performance. You might check into the RSR exmag, those used to be pretty quiet, I haven't heard the newer one though.

xkamikazestormx · 07-25-2008, 05:52 PM

actually, the rsr exmag is pretty loud (this was on a a sr). it just looks more stock because its a 3" outlet compared to others.

Solidus311 · 07-25-2008, 06:00 PM

RS*R Exmag. I think the piping is 3 inches so it might be too big if you're running all motor. I've got that on an rb25 and all I can hear is the motor.

i have that setup but stock cat
its not that close to stock...

xkamikazestormx · 07-26-2008, 03:32 AM

im telling you.

if you want quiet, get the fujitsubo legalis-r.

i know they have one for s14s but im not sure about s13s
its only 4db louder than stock according to the db sound test thingy. and also it looks stock

but they also cost $800

coreansurfer · 07-26-2008, 03:44 AM

apexi gt spec 115mm with active tail silencer, irvine crew can vouch for how quiet this setup is.

kaaos · 07-27-2008, 01:33 PM

right now i have straight pipe to a magnaflow straight through. anyway i can quit this thin up? maybe add a cherry bomb where the cat is or do cherry bombs suck? i dunno and im lost as what to do. where the hell can i get a resonator no one carries them. what is a resonator is that what i need? or do i have to put my cat on?

either weld a resonator or weld another muffler inline to it

wakdady · 07-27-2008, 01:38 PM

i'd say the RSR. i attended a track day once and asked my friend how it looked, his response was something like; "we couldnt hear you coming, looked like a red car just hauling ass silently around the track!"

iluvpandas4 · 07-27-2008, 03:22 PM

I have a 5zigen Fireball Exhaust on my car and I'd say it's pretty quiet. It doesn't attract much attention from pigs if that's what you're looking for. At low rev's it has a nice low deep rumble but at high rev's it gets quieter. Good add on power too. If you really want to know how it sounds here's a video...

YouTube - rsx 5zigen fireball exhaust

It's got pretty good reviews for it too on carreview.com, it's rated 4.67 out of 5.
