Default Not too loud of an exhaust

I'm looking for an exhaust but I don't want it to be too loud. I was listening to some youtube videos but the sounds are inaccurate. I thought the HKS one wasn't too loud in the video compared to others, but it turned out it was actually louder than some of the others!

I was referred to the precision muffler exhaust and I really like the sound, and it's not too loud. I don't know where I can find one yet though.

Does anyone have any suggestions on exhausts that aren't too loud, but at the same time I'm looking for a nice exhaust...?

I've been searching but I just started a thread about "quiet" exhausts since I've yet to see one...

greddy sp2 is a little louder than stock, but any exhaust you get dont add headers it will change the sound dramatically

Where your tip is ....before that there is a pipe that goes into the actual muffler. Could you measure how many inches it is around? I have the draxas system and would like to compare yours to mine - thanks

Thanks for the link. 275.00 isn't bad...and shipping is only 30.00 so it's a great price.

Are there are other exhausts anyone suggests that fits this category?

The Borla exhaust from trdsparks.com (the actual one from Borla is different), if I didn't get the HKS, I would have gone with that...

Of all those I’ve seen or heard of, the PM is ahead of all others when considering bang for the buck, and as you said, it's quiet too.

Find a TRD. Sounds great and it's well made and doesn't look like a fart can.

Also, does anyone have any specs on how much horsepower increase the precision muffler adds?
