What Is The Quitest Sport Muffler

[taiphan]

Hi Guys,

i am sick of my car being so loud now..a bit embarrasing...

can someone tell me what is the quitest muffler one can get that doesn't compromise performance (much)?

thanks

[someonestolecc]

Kakimoto is quiet. There was one on the FS within the last couple of weeks. I'd buy that if I still had a car - my favourite muffler for a road car.

Fujitsubo is also known for being quiet.

You might wanna put your setup now - there might be a cheaper way.. i.e. if you have a hot dog and cannon then the easiest way to make it quiet would be putting in a mid muffler, it would be cheaper and might sound good.

Good luck.

Kakimoto is quiet

Ive got one for sale, see my signature and PM me with any questions.

I know what you mean regarding loud exhausts being a little embarassing.

[Munkyb0y]

yeah what cc said. depends on the setup you currently have. if you've got no mid muffler or resonator that might be why it's so loud.

thanks guys,

hey nuffsaid,

the one you got for sell sounds good but unfornately i am in melb...

would be a pain in the butt sending that down..

Trust Power Extreme 2 - extremely quiet

Most oval shaped mufflers are quieter than cannons, so if you have a cannon, try a decent brand oval muffler.

I have a 5Zigen oval muffler and it's pretty quiet

[taiphan]

Go to your local decent exhaust shop and ask them to replace your rear muffler with a Magnaflow oval muffler and a mid oval muffler also. The noise is made by the internal design of your cannon/mufflers.

I changed from a jap exhaust to a custom cat-back and the difference in noise was astonishing, no more drone, popping or headaches just a constant quiet RB26.

I have a 5Zigen oval muffler & literally cannot hear it over the tyre noise. Dunno is you want it THAT quiet, however.

By the way it has a JASMA plate on it starting with 92-. not sure if the 92 in some way refer to the dBA rating.

I had a 3 inch Nismo cat back with the middle 'muffler' and oval rear muffler and 4" tip, picked up 2nd hand for $350 from an importer.

It was as quiet as, prob a little too quiet - i.e. did a 5000 rpm launch with cops on the other side of a van beside me and when they pulled me over they didn't mention one thing about the exhaust, only how fast I took off. No tyre squealing tho(32-GTS4)so that probably disguised the speed of the takeoff a little as well as the quiet exhaust .

Didn't even get a ticket so I am glad the exhaust was quiet.

quitest is the stock one. Why put an aftermarket one on if you want somethign quite? it defeats the purpose of getting an aftermarket one.

it probably won't flow much better than a stock one if it is the same volume as the stock one.

I just fitted an HKS Silent Hi Power cat back, i was dubious about the silent part as i could see straight thru it and my daughter could fit her whole arm inside it. once fitted i was impressed, it achieved all its goals.

At idle it still sounds a little herby (i have cams), but on acceleration and deceleration it silences quite well, with little to no restrictions.

overall - impressed.

[jeffworld2]

i had heard that the silent power wasn't actually that silent?

do you think it is a legal type sound level or just quieter than others out there

[NYTSKY]

Most aftermarket systems are over the 90DB legal limit.I have a fujitsubo system.Which is really quiet.

However i managed to get defected for it.It was 94.6DB.The standard system i have on it now is 88.5DB.

The fujitsubo Legalis R system is 89DB at 4500RPM.That would be the system id recommend.

[Giveitall]

i can also vote for fujitsubo Legalis R. i have the type evolution model and it is amazingly quiet. just like the stock exhaust.

Alot of people have commented on the noise level of my exhaust, i have a HKS super dragger and it isn't loud at all.
