okay well i got my skunk2 catback exhaust today and i installed it right away.i had a little trouble with the header pipe and the mid pipe fitment. seemed crooked iono why. but i got it all in. okay heres the thing this exhaust is LOUD. i put on the silencer and it sounds ricey. im sad, but yeah is everyone's skunk2 as loud as mine? what can i do to make it like a bit more quiet? ill see if i can get a vid clip in tomorrow. thanks guys.

 

check all the bolts to make sure they are on properly. you may have a bad install, and thats why it's loud

 

is the skunk2 like suppose to be loud?

 

alot of people love that exhaust... but i dont have it personally. I have the Megan...

 

yea its loud... my friend has it... but double check ur connections anyways

 

lol i didnt expect it to be this loud. i saw the youtube clips and it wasnt loud. hmm ill check it tonight at work i guess.

 

do they make a catback and an axleback version? I think the axle back version is the one people love alot, since it's really deep...

 

they only make catbacks for scions

 

you are right... I was thinking of Tanabe...

 

i have the skunk2 and compared to stock, it's pretty loud, but in no way at all ricey, even without the silencer. Sounds like a goofy install. There's a fitment issue with the stock s-pipe to the midpipe connection. Most people drill out the stocker, but i upgraded to the jvt s-pipe instead. For some reason aftermarkets fit better than the stock, lol. Anyways, there was no other fitment problems. I suggest taking it to a muffler shop so they can check all your connections, since you probably have a leak or 2.

 

i own it and i think the tone is amazing but very very very loud without the silncer and with the silencer is sounds like a honda...ima be scrapping it in a lil bit and gettin a custom piping exhaust

 

i own it sounds amazing without the silencer not to loud for me never tried it with the silencer i might have to give it a try today

 

so the skunk2 catback can actually bolt up to the stock S-pipe? i have the MMW header/s-pipe.

 

anyone with a quick answer?

 

the skunk2 is loud, you can weld a resonator in to make it sound less ricey

 

i had trouble with the connection too. put it on the car and put it together, minus bolting on the mid pipe to the s pipe. then install it. it sounds loud but when you're on the highway it doesn't really sound that bad.

 

Yeah the Skunk2 exhaust comes with the axleback and midpipe to make it a whole spipe back system. With any exhaust, when you add a midpipe, it will be really loud. If you want, you can try putting the stock midpipe back on and rock the Skunk2 axleback portion only. That might make it a bit quieter.

 

thanks a lot guys
