This is a really simple question, I'm looking to upgrade my exhaust system to a full dual but I want to keep as close to stock with the sound. Are there any systems out there that give good gains but keep a close to stock sound?

 

Nismo Exhaust or Invidia G200 with Magnaflow X pipe

 

^ +1 and borla TD. ( IMO ) lol

check on youtube

 

go with the nismo. sounds like a stock exhaust untill you get on it then it livens up a bit.

 

+1 nismo...in before the lock...

 

-567 on nismo

i have it, and i dont think its like stock

 

Do you have any test pipes/hfc/y-pip/headers? Because my experience with the Nismo is the most factory sound of any aftmkt exhaust.

my GReddy evo2 sounds basically the same as stock maybe a hair louder

 

stillen all the way

 

Fast Intentions Intimidator. Sounds like stock on steroids. It retains the stock sound until you punch it and then it really roars. I had HKS and GReddy before Fast Intentions and F.I. is the closest to stock sounding that I have heard.

 

i have HFC now but my comment was for before i put it on. The stock exhaust i noticed had a nice growl in the low RPMS whereas the NIsmo is pretty much inaudible unless youre in the 3k range. It sounds more tame below 2.5k rpm.

 

Closest to stock is the Fujitsubo Legalis R, even closer than the nismo, and it also sounds better imo.

 

+1 Fujitsubo Legalis R is hands down the quietest aftermarket exhaust. It is capable of some pretty good power too (I made 412whp with a turbonetics st and the exhaust on).

 

wow even more than borla? (as far as bieing quiet)

 

Yeah. It's definitely quieter than borla. I think with my turbo kit on it was actually quieter (and smoother) than the stock exhaust.

 

Sounds like stock, but louder IMO. I had a stock '03 now have a NISMO Z.

 

goes to show how useful it is to discuss how exhausts sound OVER THE INTERNET.

thread fail

please search sound clips on youtube or something.
