If you want quite I was suggest a high flow cat. I had one one with my n1 and it was nice sounding. Now I have a test pipe and people can hear me coming from awhile away

Cherrybomb Vortex, multiple resonators, unless you want 500HP you dont NEED 3in but it doesn't hurt. my 2G GSX is 2.5" the whole way with two resonators [16" and 19" i think] with the cherrybomb vortex and flows amazing with a deep rumble sound. not super quiet, not not ricey AT ALL. that's my two cents. cherrio.

You can use a bullet style muffler, such as Dynamax, or I highly recommend Moroso spiral flow. They are both low tone, the Moroso more than the other, and get less loud at WOT than others that I have used.

You could always get a muffler, a resonator or two, and use a downpipe with an electric cutout. I use a Needswings one, with no cat. Super quiet with the OEM mid and rear pipes, and SUPER loud with the plate open. It also allows the manifold to breathe better.

x2... love it

ISn't "quiet" relative? I have 2.25 from the turbo to 2.5 rest of the way which sounds great with my cams. But it has a deep, deep tone which makes the sound travel even though it isn't that "loud."

Don't think you would be dissapointed with any mentioned here but N1 is one of the old favorites. Also it used to come with a (not so easy to remove) removable silencer.

If you had a GS-T I would say Tanabe. I have no idea why they don't offer a GSX exhaust system (If they do I haven't seen one) but I love the way it sounds on my VR4. It is quiet with a low tone but at WOT it gets deeper and naturally louder. I'm running the a test pipe and honestly it almost sounds stock... Just meaner.

Other wise I've heard alot of good things about this one.

It's the one I'm planning on getting for the GSX.

 

[Vertigo RT]

I once rigged an AMG oval muffler onto my TSi... really liked the sound of it. Just used the stock exhaust and a test pipe.

Dude, seriously. Mine was like pounded in there. Most frustrating part of my exhaust install no joke.

I love the sound of the N1 though. It is really not too loud but my friends can hear me a few blocks down. It must carry.

 

[ChiTownHussla]

I have Megan downpipe to straight pipes to greedy muffler. Sounds super low and grumbly. Not. Ricer at all even at wot.

I would have to vote 3" turbo back Tanabe Medallion as well.
They are super quiet at idle, and real aggressive at WOT.

Heres a vid of it on my GST.(not the best of vids )

Wow that sound mean as hell

Thanks man,
I am joining the AWD crowd soon so I will be selling it.
Sure am going to miss it.

 

[idkiliketurbos]

I'm not exactly sure what you consider loud, but I have the SRS catback with a punishment downpipe and I would not consider it to be loud. It is very deep and sounds awesome. I had my friend do a few drive aways and pulls while I was outside and listened and it was not loud, but had an awesome tone.

 

[iBoostDSM]

A very deep, aggresive exhaust is the thermal if that's what you're looking for. Not really loud at idle either.

How'd you get the silencer out? Just tugged on it? I just installed an Espelir JGT500 on mine and that sucker doesn't want to come out either. I figured they coated it in jb weld or somthing

The Espelir with unknown downpipe and o2 housing with the silencer in is extremely quiet yet still noticeable. Fitment was spot on also

 

[Silversurfermd]

I run Megan O2 Housing, Apex N1 DP, Race Cat, hacked HKS cat back (to 3''). It is as close to a 3'' turbo-back exhaust as I could get. I put an Apexi ATS in the HKS muffler to quiet things down. ATS does not decrease torque/HP.

I'm running Apex'i WS2. I love it. It has a nice low rumble but not loud at all.

Didnt have the noise when I first start up, stupid me" but honestly its not to loud at startup then you throttle it and it sounds mean and loud, I love it. Not ricey sounding at all!

The trick was pulling equally on all sides at once. If I tugged it on one side at a time it would not budge.

Eventually, getting it out involved a lot of fishing line, two dirty socks, burnt paper, a rabbit and two strippers... Long story short: Just do what you have to do until it's out of there.
