what do you guys think would be the best exhaust for me, i live in california and dont want the attention from the cops <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'> so it has to be somewhat quiet, also do you guys know which exhaust gets the most gains out if the hotshot headers and a cold air intake

thx

Go with whatever exhaust you want, but just pickup the silencer.  Personally, I'm doin the HKS Hyper series exhaust on mine, but cops aren't to bad around here.

GReddy SP, they're CARB certified and come with a decal to prove it to the cops!  It's a bit pricey but well worth the money.

I have the GReddy MX on mine. It's not too loud, but sounds badass at WOT, especially with CAI installed. I would recommend it to anyone.

i'm in cali, i'm on HKS sports w/ the r-2 tips, they only sound loud when u get on it, so it'll be fine.  i don't think they r in production anymore <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

The 5zigen fireball that I have is pretty quiet. Just gives off all bass pretty much and it's quieter than most of my friend's exhausts that have silencers on them.

Well, i am gonna go wid GReddy myself which is the PE 2. It has a hks hyper look wid TRUST deep throaty sound the are known for. I have a GReddy Evo on my shitty civic i havent gotten pulled over yet. There is my .02 cents

does the silencer on the APEXi N1 work well, ive heard that it reduces sound output by 7 dB but im not sure how loud that is   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>

Nismos14 · 06-24-2002, 08:27 PM

116% quieter, 3 db decrease = 50 percent quieter just fyi

Kakimoto R

MasterOFDrift · 06-24-2002, 09:24 PM

I say get the kakimoto R. It is a high performing exhaust that has very little sound even without the silencer it is at like 95db. It is a quality exhaust.

If you would like to see for yourself go to

To Their Site

If you are interested pm me

I've been running with no exhaust from the cat on for a few weeks. I have my stock muffler there as a dummy  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
