b2autodesigns.com

pair either of the exhausts with MotorDyne ART pipes (fancy test pipes, about $650) and you will be very happy

invidia gemini, cat back for about $900
tdx2, cat back $1600

i had both, hence why i recommended them. if you just want loud and obnoxious, you could pick up a single exit aam for a bit over 700, but that doesnt include y pipe or anything

I'm all for a louder exhaust that actually adds some real power but once over the "obnoxious line", well, ehhh. The other day, my wife and I heard this Lexus-something with what had to be a straight pipe and my wife SAID: "Get a muffler! F.....k!" If SHE verbalizes it, imagine what *I* was THINKING. Laff....

You want loud, like travlee said, get a big single... AAM, Tomei Expreme, etc. IMO, both too loud for me but at least they have decent tone.

Something slightly off topic.... how come people don't build exhaust systems around the old time tested, race proven SuperTrapps anymore? I ran a 2.5 pipe system (on an S30) once with just a center resonator and a SuperTrapp with full complement of discs in it. Now *THAT* was obnoxious.

If he wants cheap and loud why not just go to eBay or amazon and get the hks knock off for 350$? Then go buy a set of test pipes or high flow cats from either berk if you want good, or again amazon or eBay. If all you want is loud then loud you get lol. Rice on brotha!

even gives you a option to add cheap test pipes haha

Of coarse it will be loud, but that's what you want, right? I would think that one being ''too loud'' for you would be irrelevant. And if that's all you care about, as opposed to performance and appearance, I personally couldn't justify spending $400 - $700. I mean, sure you can go cheap, but then you have the possibility of fitment issues, flange welds cracking. Sure, it doesn't always happen, but just keep that in mind as you shop. So if you're looking to keep this car for the long haul or maybe selling it down the road, you'll have that piece of mind that you installed a quality part.

PM'ed. A buddy of mine has a invidia gemini exhaust for sale for a great price. Almost new... was only installed and drove around before deciding to upgrade to the motordyne.

I've been running a [real] HKS exhaust setup with test pipes for a few years now and honestly I don't even notice the noise anymore. It's pretty quiet up until about 2500RPMs.

Nissan kept my car once for overnight parts and gave me a newer Altima as a loaner. It was so quiet it freaked me out. Like it didn't even feel like the car was running.
