Awsome Exhaust???

[kev98gsx]

My name is kevin, and i have a : 1998 gsx. i wanted to know if anyone knows which cat-back exhaust system has the deepest sound. i do not want a honda p-o-s exhaust :thumbdown . or if any one knows a websight to look at for exhaust reviews. thanks

 

[out there]

i've never gotten any wisecracks about my exhaust being too high-pitched; in fact, i've been told my exhaust is a very low sounding grumble.
www.rnrracing.com <~ many people on this site have the 3" turbo-back available here (including myself, i have the 4" tip), and i think everyone who has it will agree that these products are excellent (cat- or turbo-back)

It would be nice to have a site that has alot of the exhaust system and what they are good for, along with a review about them.

With the site I am building maybe we will include something along those lines.

I have a Thermal and love it. Its deep and doesn't get high pitched at all. Also the RNR sounds good.

 

[herostar]

Because your car is a turbo the exhaust will not be high-pitched. Whatever exhaust you get (as long as it's not some huge-ass can muffler) will sound good. I'd recommend a magnaflow muffler. I love mine and they are pretty cheap (price, not quality).

Thanks everyone for the help. But wich of these brands do you think will sound better?

Apex'i Dunk
Apex'i N1
Buschur Racing
HKS Drager
Pacesetter Monza

I don't really know which one to pick. The price isn't that big of a deal, But sound is everything . Thanks Agian.

Will be probably your pick out of those. But personally I still say go with a RNR exhaust also.

I LOVE the deep sound of my apexi n1 !!

i've heard bad things about thermal

 

[b00stedeclipse]

what have any of you heard bad about thermal..i am deciding between thermal and HKS Carbon-Ti. I've heard the HKS has a deeper sound than thermal. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks !

3" ss piping hks dragger exhaust with no cat. great performance and has to be the deepest and almost the loudest.

What bad things have you heard about thermal? I myself have a thermal cat back and extreme technologies high flow cat and downpipe and i cant say enough good things about them. The system sounds great. A real deep throaty roar.

I have the HKS Carbon-Ti on my TSI, I think the muffler is too big but it sounds awesome pics are in my gallery. I would of gotten Thermal if I didn't get my HKS but I liked the HKS better. I know of a few people locally running Thermal and haven't heard any complaints.

I heard that thermal rusts out quicker then apexi or the hks, 3 people have told me that. But that's just hearsay. So no biggy. I would of bought the HKS if I had the cash to buy it.. but Apexi is great for me.

 

[s4audia]

Ok first of all thermal is stainless steel which means it will not rust. Second I have never read a review where a thermal has rusted but I have for apexi where it rusted from the inside out. I did alot or research before I bought my thermal it sounds awesome and is top quality.

 

[mwatkins]

I love my thermal. I gave a guy from work who hates imports - strictly V8's- and he even liked it because it didn't sound like a "ricer"

 

[kev98gsx]

OK thanks agian everyone for the help. Please keep the information coming, I just want to have a perfect exhaust for me.
But Let me ask this...
What Brand and Model has the deepest sound possible?
When you reply to this message, please write--Brand/Model/Type-- so i can tell easy. Thanks Agian Everyone.

I chose RNR for my turbo-back because their prices were good, their products looked pretty good, and of generally positive feedback on this site. I got a 2.5" O2 eliminator turbo-back w/ oval Bullet muffler.
I would not buy from them again - it took 7 weeks for my turbo-back to ship (they kept telling me it would ship at 3 weeks, then 5 weeks...), they put the wrong tip on my muffler, then refused to make good on their screw up, two hangars on the back of the muffler & aft piping were misplaced, and the straight middle section of tubing had to be bent a bit to keep it from rattling on the underside of the car
Also, keep in mind - if you want to be able to disconnect your downpipe from the rest of the exhaust, you'll have to pay to have bolt-up flanges welded on the downpipe & cat.
All-in-all, it cost me $100 at my local shop to have my exhaust system installed (with the bolt-up flanges) correctly. RNR is not that great of a deal....you generally get what you pay for.
The sound is deep & not too loud. I heard the 18" Magnaflows are pretty nice, and probably a bit quieter, too - I may weld on a Magnaflow in the future.

Go with the Thermal. Perfect in every way. The sound is hard to describe because it's as though there is none, just a deep, mellow rumble that permeates the air. It's only loud from 2000 - 3000rpms, above and below that it's fairly quiet. I got mine for $570.

I have a GReddy EVo exhaust and I have mixed feelings about. I love the performance and the look and especially the sound. (Sounds very deep and low, not ricey) But I do not like the design. My stock exhaust piping ran over the rear axle, and GReddy assured me the EVO would too. But it didnt. Now I have a 3" pipe ran below my axle and it scrapes and drags on every uneven road and everything over 1" tall. Other than that, I like it alot. I would also reccomane getting a Thermal R&D. They are excellent exhausts. They will probably give the most HP, but also be the loudest.

i have rnr's exhaust...sounds and looks great. pics in the gallery

 

[lancerevoluvr]

thermal!

 

[jmargelo]

Thermal.

I have a test pipe too and it sounds like a rocket

 

[RuBiCaNT5X]

RnR... I've got the O2 Elim Turboback and it's outstanding.. It's deep and doesn't resonate hardly at all..
