Exhaust Options

[ED_MX5]

So, I have been researching what exhaust to buy for a while now.
IT'S SO HARD. I have a particular taste for a nice deep throaty note. I have been searching youtube and the like.
I have found so many tinny exhaust sounds, some just high pitch. Only a few that have the note I want, but they don't say how they got it.
Does the xforce system sound good? does anyone have a video or decent sound clip?
I think that a thread showing video clips of people exhaust at idle and driving if possible would be of great help to anyone trying to work out what to get.

So get recording and post.
Cheers

I think either a Borla or an Enthuza would meet your needs. I think there are some recordings of them on the big forum. I have owned both (full systems) and love them both - not tinny at all.

What is the 'BIG FORUM'?
I'll check it out, thanks for the tip.... no pun intended.

[Mr Morlock]

the only way to hear it properly is to drive in someones car- what do you expect from a tinny recording. .There are heaps of threads. Town and Country exhausts Geelong do an excellent cat back system which sounds good and very reasonable priced supplied and fitted.

ITB's and a full racing beat system sounds GREAT!

[ED_MX5]

Zossi1, I had a look at the Enthuza exhaust.. it's exactly what I'm looking for.
Cheers for the idea. Now I just have to save and buy one.

ITB's and a full racing beat system sounds GREAT!

Racing Beat cat, non-resonated pipe and the muffler here... without ITBs and I think it sounds great too. Quietly round the streets but has a great deep sound when opened up!

[ED_MX5]

That's different to hear, I usually find a non resonated pipe goes really tinny.
I'll have to look into that.

[Magpie]

I agree the racing beat is very quiet until you give it heaps of gas and then it has a lovely deep note. The ITB's add some great induction noise as well.

[slug_dub]

I might make a recording tomorrow...

Please post the sound clip

[ED_MX5]

Yes please, sound clip would be great. That is why I started this thread, so people can say what exhaust set up they have, and then show it off.

Had some FAT exhausts HKS Super Drager and Kakimato R, big tips 110mm and 115mm respectively and with a big BASS sound to match. It was fun ... but after 3 days I was getting chest pains (I use the Sydney tunnels, should be fine otherwise).

These exhaust have a hot dog in the middle and are 60 mm in diameter to the main muffler. The increase in 10 mm size from the original loses some early low end response and if you are driving around town this is noticeable.

The stock exhaust is AWESOME, no complaints - don't chuck it. RS*R exhausts are very raspy too. Plenty around and can get one at a good price 2nd hand.

So I have decided to replace the headers for a 4/2/1 HKS item 60 mm into the stock cat into a SPURT K1 muffler 50mm. The feedback from Japan is that this setup will give you the raspy sound without losing low end torque around town. Below is a clip of the set up.

[Dupain]

The SPURT K1 @$300 AUS plus middle men cut and shipping. SPURT is an "alternative" non main stream tuner. They have sold 900 of these and just recently released 5 limited units and two are sold (one to me). Reviews below.

I think volume, sound quality is a thing and different state of car individual, user preferences like, in the way of feeling. it. I hope to be able to reference your purchase)

lightly in play for the purchaser ● future. I just put in the exhaust muffler normal. After starting the engine, the volume of the roar quite to stabilize. The quiet in its own way if stable. But, it is quite noisy when even a little puff. Sound mingled with the sound of bass like a little damp. It is not a sound like say Khan to dry. Treble sound comes out in its own way while sound damp and turn the knob. I am not complaining for revolutions rise. Is not that around torque thinner well. No interference to the body. Making it is quite polite. Weighs in its own way because you are not in the lightweight stay, such as flange. I think that there are things more reasonable price considering the price. : (9:34 March 30, 2006 evaluation date and time)

It was a good buy. (September 4, 2005)
sound from ● 4000rpm changes to treble NA unique that can not be put absolutely turbo, there were his own that would turn to high rotation than will always be there. Thank you all! (August 26, 2005)

is the evaluation of ● muffler, but is → 5 ll Subari 5 rated! ! I felt price / appearance / material / sound / sense of torque,'s muffler very good overall. (March 31, 2005)
It was quiet as expected in the low-speed or idling ●. Will it place me up 20% of the genuine. I am satisfied with and treble Burororo When you accelerate. Baby-sitter is also a good little item. This is absolutely cheap. I made ​​a good buy. (March 26, 2005)
is the best sound even if I say what ●! to make, so very proud of torque feel, even looks. It is recommended for those who quite roadster ride more! (March 19, 2005)

is a gentle, quiet moderate bass ● In the low frequency range. It is transformed into a racing car changes to a little high-pitched tone when it comes to 4000 or more revolutions exceed the 3000 rotation! Cost performance is the best. (December 20, 2004)
response was markedly missing UP ● is improved. You can also experience torque UP from low speed. The sound of heavy bass of 3,000 rpm from 2,000 rpm, the sound will run out in a word of great treble from it more than just "Quarto-emissions!"! (December 18, 2004)
It is the impression of about two months ● installed. Public road usable area of 4000rpm The following is a volume equivalent to the muffler after the other in a lower tone. It is a very pleasant tone becomes high can that seems to NA such as large-displacement bikes gradually from 3500rpm position! I think of this place and would recommend definitely place if you buy a muffler manufacturer system. (December 4, 2004)
● sound also torque is a big big big satisfaction! ! Thank you all!
● It has been in place for about six so far, muffler looks good, sound, to make and so for the price is for the first time.
● Installation was a very easy. When I actually traveled, and I am satisfied will sound punch worked fairly. However, I thought that it was also fun and wonder if sound is large a little more and get used to. That's why I feel a long opts likely will.
● Over 5,000 rotation that has been missing sound More recently, very good sound begin to appear, and every day you would just just depressing. I feel you have a good shopping.
● It is very correct to purchase. Bolt and gasket have been enclosed, mounted in the bolt. Exhaust sound to be worried about is not very motivating. Bass up to 3,000 rotation is (Bo~o), but changes in treble (Ka~an) from around past the 4,000 revolutions. It is a very GOOD muffler itself because it is light.
● Because it is exchange from the explosion, and the lower torque quiet of idling around is happy. Reputation as making even if you firmly, mounting was also smooth.
● idling is quiet indeed, sound very good and when I turn. Muffler itself was also good shopping very lightweight.
● it tried mounting immediately. It was (but is not a too large) volume is bigger than I thought, but I liked it (4 types) any muffler sound quality've tried so far. It will treble in proportion to the rotational speed at 3,000 rpm or more, we will turn catapult. Start is also easy to I was able to be driving a slob there is torque at low rotation.
● Volume I feel relatively quiet. I feel it coming out even better than certain ○ ○ ○. It has been burnt in a good color near the exit. I liked very much by the professional Poku~tsu form.
● thought this was going to sound kana big little attachment initially, clear sound without a Komori in good volume is now one month have passed, muffler as becoming familiar. Without having to interfere with the lower arm bar to photograph As for mounting, clearance between the rear bumper was also perfect. This muffler is absolutely recommended.
● while being low cost, finish of each part, the volume of the ideal street. I am happy with the level higher sound quality.
● It was good a sound very pleasant. Compared to normal, running is also a good feeling punch is has worked. It is fun how go missing sound now.
● high rotation from low rotation until you have arrived torque firm. Exhaust sound will also be sound bass are mixed gradually from 2,000 rotation fairly quiet when idling, I'll turned into sound slightly higher NA of unique dry 5,000 or more rotations. It is a sport muffler can understand enough to be considered such as price Ri performance and work. As of a certain muffler shop, that torque that may not appear in the low-and middle-rotation muffled sound or 3,000 before and after rotation are also satisfied without very. I think it's muffler Yukeru to go together for a long time in peace because I firmly materials, welding and accessories also (gasket bolt), and the like.
● I have to imagine the high frequency range is from as highlighted more so SUS sound quality, but low frequencies was surprisingly rich. I think also made ​​good enough if this in 30,000 yen or less. Moreover gasket, what bolt and nut is also the place happy. <<< >>> Thank you for your evaluation of many other
