any sleeper style exhaust systems available?

[idt512]

im looking for an exhaust system for a 2G GST that isnt too flashy but fully functional, i dont really care for the mirror polished muffler or the 4" tips... know what i mean And hopefully a budget price tag to go with it

im looking for a cat back system rather than buying the piping from 1 manufacturer and purchasing the muffler separately. Thanks for that site BTW

 

[Cirus_93TSI]

most pre,made cat backs will have a big shiny flashy muffler with a huge tip, if u want something that doesnt look like anything special go find a local custom exhaust shop, and ask them what kind of mufflers they can put on a custom mandrel bent 3" system, u should be able to get a full mandrel bent 3" turbo back made for less then 500
i have a small 4" muffler with 3" inlet and outlet on my car, with a custom mandrel bent 3" exhaust that the previous owner had put on the car, if my car isnt started u would never even know its turbo, the small muffler is hardly noticable, but it sounds pretty mean when it starts

if u really want something unnoticable(except for the sound) but loud and fully functional then run a straight pipe off of your downpipe with a tip on the end, i met this guy at the gas station the other day with a 2g fwd with exactly that, it sounded pretty good and was pretty damn fast

Yes it does.

I have it tucked up even more now. You can't argue with a plain 3 inch steel tip.

If you want sleeper this is what you do. Cut all the piping of you exhaust off, but you leave the stock muffler still attached to the hangers in the back. Then you buy a magnaflow bullet muffler take it to an exhaust shop and have them build you a custom exhaust that dumps underthe car. From behind it looks stock cause you still have the stock muffler sitting there but you get the performance gains of having an exhaust. Only problem is when you put exhaust on our cars it pretty much takes away the whole sleeper thing cause they sound pretty mean. I have had serveral people tell me my car sounds like a motorcycle.

This is exactly what you're looking for:

I've had an RS-R exhaust on my car for 2 years now and I am still
very happy with it. The black painted muffler looks stock. The
quality is top notch. It's very quiet, but packs a deeper tone. No
interior resonance, and no droning like the Greddy EVO or Apex N1.

[idt512]

hahaha... by "sleeper" i meant the looks & sound as well, doesnt have to be as quiet as stock, just not overly loud

 

[idt512]

There you go, that RS-R pretty much suits my tastes, but damn, retails for $639

I came across these as well, any opinions on these manufacturers?

[JoeyGST]

Uhh....RS-R doesn't sound stock. It's quiet, but stock is a lot quieter.

And it doesn't retail for $600+, I'm sure you can find it for a lot
less. I saw it for sale on Ebay last week for $450.

Maybe you should just go for a generic Magnaflow cat-back.

We have our sleeper catback that look pretty close to factory. We use our oval straight through muffler and put a black coating on it. It looks very normal looking and performs just as well as the otehr systems out there.

 

[idt512]

hey that RNR cat back looks very promising as well... At what point in horsepower do you draw the line between a 2.5" or 3", or if not in horsepower figures, then what would be the deciding factor in choosing between the 2 sizes?

 

[98eclipseRS]

depends on what you want out of the car. Unless you plan on having your car as a track only car and making over 350 whp 2.5 inch should do. Many people will say go with 3" just cause it doesn't cost that much more and you don't have to worry about upgrading later. My personal experience so far is that 2.5" is enough for most people will ever need. I have 2.5 on my car and have no complaints thus far.

 

[Cirus_93TSI]

even on a midly modded car a 3" will make a big difference over a 2.5", my friends 2g had a 2.5" on it when he bought it, he upgraded to a 3" and it made the car quite a bit faster(according to the ass dyno and all those v8s that cant keep up)
all the 2.5" really did was restrict airflow, the car hit 27 psi with the 2.5" when the mbc broke and never hit fuel cut once, with the 3" it hits fuel cut at 19 psi every time
on turbo cars a bigger, less restrictive exhaust always means more power, even on a nearly stock turbo car unbolting the exhaust and running an open downpipe or o2 housing will give u a considerable power gain over a 3" exhaust

just because ur not maxing out the 2.5 does not mean the 3" wolnt give u more power, because it will

 

[RnR Racing]

Get the 3" and you won't regret it. You will make more power with a 3" system over a 2.5" system.

Look at this for example. On the new EVO's we are building the stock exhaust size is 2.5" all the way back.

People are upgrading to a full 3" catback and seeing 10-15whp improvemnt on a completly stock car.

Once they upgrade to a 3" turbo back it's around 30whp. That is just upgrading to a 3" system on a car thay already had a 2.5" system on it. The EVO has a similar set up to the DSM's and the same motor.

 

[idt512]

so why even manufacture a 2.5" system if the 3" has all the benefits over the 2.5"

 

[splattj]

I've always wanted to know if it's possible to take something like a Burns collector and run it backwards using it to split a 3" exhuast into 4 1" pipes and then into 2 2" pipes and use 2 mufflers. That way you could have 2 2" straight-through/highflow mufflers and quiet down the system with the only downside being the weight and extra cost....

 

[V8BWARE]

ok question, lets just say you have an O2 dump, is there even really a point to buying a turboback at all? perhaps put a supertrap on the dump to quiet that down a bit, but that's about as stock looking as you can get.

 

[DSMSpyder99]

keep the stock muffler and just get custom 3" piping

 

[idt512]

AHP sells piping alone and allows you to use your own muffler, Id probably opt for a Dynomax or Magnaflow muffler, whichever is quieter. But the question remains... why do they manufacture a 2.5" system if the 3" is better overall? noise

 

[nitrouskris]

hks i think the part# is let-mo3 looks stock

 

[sarge]

the older hks turbo exhaust looks pretty stock

i think it has a 3 inch tip or something like that and its 2.5inch

 

[1badtsi]

just use the stock exaust with a cut out, thats as sleeper as you can get

 

[Laser93Nash]

I'm thinking about getting a glasspack muffler to replace the cat w/ 2.5" pipe back to a flowtech warlock muffler then a SS dual outlet tip from magnaflow. I dunno if thats considered a "sleeper" idea. I don't know if it will be quiet. But I know thats what I'm doing.
