EXHAUST ADVICE - Please Help

[WHIPSGSTSpyder]

HELP!!!
I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice. I am going to buy an exhaust system within a month for my 1996 Eclipse GST Spyder and would like to know what I should get. I would like it to sound like the exhaust in the Fast and the Furious' Supra. Please let me know what your opinion is.
Thanks a lot,
Craig

Try the Apex N1 or Greddy EVO. They both sound great make good power and bolt right up.

I have the Apexi WS, I think. RS, WS, same exhaust basically. SOund is very nice and mellow, but really opens up with a mash of the gas. The N1 sounds nice too. i would save go with an Apexi exhaust. They seem to sound the best, IMO, for the 2G.

this guy is a nerd.

A turbo eclipse will not sound like a 700hp supra. So lets go ahead and abandon that idea. If you want loud get a atr,buschur,apex if you want low and deep get a thermal.

 

[Sean91TSi]

NO DSM will ever sound like a supra . Most of us arent makin 700 who or have a staright 6 in our cars.

You want good sounding get an ATR.

 

[Bohrn]

yea, and even if we had a 700 hp DSM it still would only be a 2.0 liter. A larger engine has a deeper, throatier sound. Just like a larger drum makes more bass, a larger speaker thumps more, or even a big watermelon makes a deeper sound when you smack it than a small honeydew.

That aside, a properly tuned 4G63 makes a very nice noise, so listen to the other guys who have had several of these things. Myself, I am still stock, but its probably next.

This is my 3rd DSM iv owned (91 Black Cherry TSi AWD, 91 Galant VR4, (91 TSi AWD) plus i work on them every day and hear them everyday.

 

[larryd]

i can say from experience that the Apexi N1 sounds really nice on a DSM.. dont know how it would compare to a supra though

I JUST BOUGHT A 99 GST 5 SPEED LOW MILES 15K BONE STOCK
I DONT CARE ABOUT EMMISIONS LAWS OR NOISE IM JUST WONDERING IF I USE A 3 INCH CUSTOM MADE EXHUAST USE A OFF ROAD PIPE WHERE THE CAT IS AND USE NO MUFFLER WOULDNT THE TUBO PROVIDE ADIQUITE BACK PRESSURE MEANING I WOULD HAVE THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE EXHUAST MOST POWER AND A LOAD EXHUAST PROBALY VERY NOISY BUT I DONT CARE I JUST WANNA KNOW IF IT WILL DAMAGE MY CAR I WOULD APPRICIATE ANY ADVICE I DID THIS ON MY 87 GLHS AND GAINED 50 HP @ WHEELS I HOPE TO DUPLICATE THE SAME THING WITH MY ECLIPSE THANK YOU

Love the analogy Bohrn, really.

It won't damage your engine any. Whether it will help, or provide enough backpressure is controversial. I find it interesting that all the exhaust shops say 3" is ridiculous. I have also seen some cars sound really crappy with a 3" and a test pipe, so I think some of it depends on the car. I personally run a stock exhaust with a reemed out CAT. If I change anything in the immediate future it will be a 2g manifold, and maybe a larger downpipe.

 

[gimp boy]

the best exhuast hands down is thermal if you don't mind kinda loud.... souds nice and deep and offers the best in performance....if you don't wanna be as loud I would say go w/ the Apex i N1......

 

[larryd]

so the thermal is louder then the n1?

 

[jdmawd]

the thermal is not louder than the n1

 

[Sean91TSi]

Thermal makes the quitest exhaust for are cars. If u want good performing(but loud) get a ATR 3" or a buschur 3"

 

[Atari007]

I know I could do more searching, but again... i am lazy .. soo.... how much do all of these exhausts compare as far as price and bang for the buck??

 

[Sean91TSi]

ATR for a 2g is 495 cat back the O2 eliminator downpipe is around 300. The buschur im not sure havent checked in awhile. But i personally use the ATR.

 

[gimp boy]

ummm... i don't know what thermal you people are hearing but my nad my friend both got thermal and a friend of ours has the n1 and we can't hear him at all over ours... ohh are you all running a cat or a test pipe?? that makes a big differnce

gimp boy

91' gsx

 

[jdmawd]

no cat, 3" from the turbine housing to the tip

I also have the ATR and is loud and straight. I only have a 2.5' DP and test pipe now. when I get my 3; O2 elim DP and cat next week I don't want to know how loud it will be.

The best exhaust for a 2g IMO and mine was only 250 from the trader

They dont have any pics of the ATR Cat-Back for the 1g but they make it.

4 of the 5 DSM's from the shop i work at use ATR the other uses Buschur.

 

[candela]

that looks awesome, i can see why they would make a considerable amount of power...

 

[SpyderGS98]

I have the Greddy Evo Exhaust and Love it on My 98 Eclipse Spyder GS.

I got the 60mm (Non-Turbo) Version and it looks and sounds awesome. Deep throaty sound.

The Car in The Fast & Furious has a Greddy Evo Exhaust on it.
