Quiet Exhaust Setup ? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Rnoodles · 10-16-2010, 03:53 PM

Looking for least sound from my ka-t 3" turbo back, has huge no name can i need to change and small resonator + cat. To loud for my taste. Do i need a pre muffler after cat before resonator ? How are the fujitsubo and apexi ws2 mufflers ? Any feedback from those who have ?

Just shove babies in the piping and you'll be set.

s13pignose · 10-16-2010, 04:02 PM

Look for the biggest muffler you can fit , and try to avoid canister types. More along the lines of world sport, rsr, etc. As for resonator try and get the biggest you can for that too. Obx makes one pretty big and vibrant does too, think vibrnat calls it the ultra quiet resonator or something. I've seen both on ebay and both are stainless. I would just run it like factory set up...cat->resonator->muffler

murda-c · 10-16-2010, 04:20 PM

3" piping with a vibrant resonator and an STI muffler.

Schassis707 · 10-16-2010, 04:48 PM

+1 this is my setup at the moment. love it

wh0aitznic0 · 10-16-2010, 10:15 PM

Buddy Club Spec II is pretty quiet.

Dart Izumi as well.

unreal- · 10-17-2010, 01:54 AM

Blitz Realize TT. I run it on my 240. i have I/H/E/S13 Cams with random exhaust leaks, and its quiet at idle. When its warmed up you can barely hear it. But when i go WOT or more than 50% throttle its pretty loud. Rev-matching sounds incredible..Overall its one of the quietest exhausts that you can STILL buy. I was disappointed when i found out that the Apexi Noir was discontinued.

*jspecusa* · 10-17-2010, 04:10 AM

5zigen border 3 70mm pipping exhaust, chop off the tip and make it dolphin tail.

CaptainVlad · 10-17-2010, 07:07 AM

nismoracingsx · 10-17-2010, 07:53 AM

the isis mb se is really quiet, its a knockoff of the apexi megaphone which i think is no longer made..but the mb se is really freakin' quiet, i switched to it from a canister and my wife and i were stunned at how quiet it is now @ 60-70mph

turbo_dreams · 10-17-2010, 11:54 PM

I'm running a Fujitsubo Legalis R, quiet enough for me to cruise on the highway and still carry on a convo...i hear more road noise then motor.

lol! I had a civic for a daily and I had the same one. Great exhaust!

bb4_96 · 10-18-2010, 04:55 AM

Smaller diameter piping will be quieter.

japslapsilvia · 10-18-2010, 09:13 AM

Espiler JGT-500, sounds very nice....not very loud at all.

driftsilvias13 · 10-18-2010, 09:22 AM

I just switched from a greddy ti-c to a megan type 2 due to not wanting to attract attention. The difference was big. Much better for daily driving.

drift213 · 10-18-2010, 09:24 AM

my nismo catback is super low key i just love it

big difference from my apexi gt 3.75"

allntrlundrgrnd · 10-18-2010, 09:43 AM

I have megan racing type 2 on my car with sr20. Straight 3" pipe all the way through to the muffler.

Heres a lame video of my car with it. It would be even quieter with a cat installed.

car is for sale BTW

illvialuver · 10-18-2010, 10:14 AM

I thought the reinhard was pretty quite. Without a any type of restriction other then the baffles that are in the tips, its essentially a straight pipe. And I am n/a, but I am planning on getting a resonator so I can take out the baffles.

I thought without a resonator it was going to be loud as shit. But its a whole like quiter then my old trust dd with a hole in the muffler.

nathanong87 · 10-18-2010, 10:20 AM

see OP, what did i say. megan type II!!!
