I need an exhaust... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Shin_Kudo · 03-31-2004, 10:50 PM

I'm just at the early stage of modding my S14. I've already got coilovers, gonna get a brake upgrade, and a seat, but I figure I should do something for power and response. So I'm looking for an exhaust.

Here's the issue: it needs to be quiet. Now, I can deal with a bit louder, but I live in a neighborhood where I can't have some loud D1-spec exhaust or anything. I need to be able to come home at 3AM and not wake anyone up. But I still would like the increased performance, just not to the same degree as a high-performance exhaust. I guess what i'm looking for is a "silent" exhaust, as the manufacturers call them.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, keep in mind that I've got a KA24, and I'm not really planning a swap, as I really don't want to get busted for one. (I got pulled over by a cop the other day who was clearly looking for one. Upon not finding it, he gave me a ticket for doing 78 in a 70 zone.....BS......)

Apexi N1 or HKS Hiper may be what you seek...

Shin_Kudo · 03-31-2004, 10:58 PM

I've heard that the N1 is relatively loud. Is that incorrect?

whoa now that looks stock

element240 · 04-01-2004, 12:07 AM

thanks for posting that Bbandit! this is exactly what i was looking for too!

on a side note, does anyone know how loud the greddy exhausts are? do they make an evo for the 240's?

Ex-mag is a good choice. I would go with the Border 3. I have this on my 84 corolla and it's smooooth. There's also the Greddy SP/MX series. As for the greddy exhausts, they're pretty quiet. I don't think they make the evo for 240's but the last time I heard one, it sounded like a bumble bee.

Yup that thing is quiet, a friend of mine has one on his car and it sound just a bit louder than stock even at WOT.

ICKY · 04-01-2004, 02:24 PM

I was thinking of making a custom muffler since i already have the piping. Im gonna make it as stock looking as possible. Hopefully it will be quiet.

wylin · 04-01-2004, 02:36 PM

HKS or Buddy club's "Silent" type full stainless exhausts.

www.hksusa.com - theres a 75mm silent hiper it looks like the previous version but is both full stainless and Jasma certified (under 95 DB)

aznpoopy · 04-01-2004, 02:42 PM

whoa... that rsr ex-mag looks tempting... its so expensive though. T_T

edit : is this the same exhaust as the RSR Ex-Mag GTII ? there's a groupbuy going on and its going for $492.00

Silverbullet · 04-01-2004, 03:10 PM

i have one... not a single ticket for exhaust yet =)

Nope, they're two different exhausts. The gtII is loud and big. (In comparison to the exmag at least)

BSeay · 04-01-2004, 09:30 PM

HKS Hi-power, thats what i have on my S14 and it's pretty quiet...i cant hear it over my intake anyways lol...but yea when i didnt have the intake it was pretty quiet...

element240 · 04-01-2004, 09:58 PM

i wonder if anyone can get a group buy for the rsr ex-mag going on ... hint..hint

ty sir; oh well. i'd be interested in a group buy too but i wonder how popular it would be. more people want loud and shiny, not quiet and stock looking, no?

oojpeeoo · 04-02-2004, 09:34 AM

hks hi-power is supposed 2 be louder than the n1...i got an n1 single exhaust and that shit even that loud...and when u get an sr swap its supposed 2 quiet down even more by half.... personally i like the deep sound of it...deep and not to loud and it looks nice..

I'd probably be interested (depending on price/timing) in a group buy on the ExMag. My car's charcoal gray, why would I want to waste the stealth by bolting on a loud-ass exhaust?
