UlrichWolf Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 HKS is the only one that doesn't sound like a tractor... Not true. My car has a 2.5 all the way back, with a Magnaflow muffler, and people constantly tell me they can't believe how quiet it is. The great part is, it sounds great when you gas it, but sitting around idling, it is quiet as a church mouse. Therefore, my recommendation is to get a Jolyrgr exhaust, and pop a Magnaflow on it......I assure you, you will not be disappointed. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMeyerhoff Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 18" magnaflow Thats the exact one I am running on JR's 2.5" exhaust. Its the longer 18" version which should be a bit quieter than the smaller 14" one, BUT its a tight fit. Possible, but tight. Compared to the 3" with a hooker aerochamber I had before its about 60% as loud at idle and 35% as loud when I stand on it. Slightly more mellow tone, but it still sounds like a conquest. Love it mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 so just a regular magnaflow muffler? i already have a 2.5 turbo back exhaust just really needed a muffler..is there a series on that magnaflow like flowmaster has ? Look on their website and they have straight through versions( you want to really avoid a chamber styled muffler ) http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=8231 Like that one for example Really the best sounding is all debatable to how you want yours to sound. I have a GReddy Evo2 that ended up having almost all the packing blown out. At idle behind the car, it sounds... hm, not like a tractor/diesel, but I've had PMs show up on a local import site if it was my car they saw and how they loved how it sounded. Also, my friend mistook me for an SRT-4 coming down the road about a mile or so up. Lets not get into how it sets off car alarms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScooterDude92 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 in my honest opinion i think the low gurgling tractor sound is bad like this one -Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeLobster Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 when I get my car, and add an exhaust, I want to get jolyrgr's system and experiment with a tanabe muffler. They make awesome sounding stuff for other cars (expecially the WRX), so I want to see how it turns out on the g54b. Speaking of which, they are available in 60mm or 80mm inlets (2.3 inches or 3.1), so which would be better with a 2.5 exhaust, stepping up to the 3.1 inch? No means to thread jack, I just wanted to ask while the topic active. I think the HKS is also an amazing sounding muffer to +1 brazilboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrophage Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I was thinking of putting a G35 muffler with the funny cool sound on my quest just to pissoff the nissan owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I don't have a sound clip of my exhaust but I get lots of comments on how nice it sounds. I almost went Magnaflow too, but then I found a Megan Racing muffler that was MUCH cheaper ($50 shipped to my door). It sounds great, and has lasted going on 5 years now.

strang3majik Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 3" turbo back, gutted cat (so no cat), and a Flowmaster 40. I love the sound of it and get compliments all the time. Doesn't sound like a tractor, or even a 4 cyl, really. Just sounds like something really PO'd Loud as hell as well...but, with the windows up, the air on and the stereo playing...I can't even hear it...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
