what exhaust does everyone here suggest? looking for an exhaust that is not to loud and irritation. something deep and quiet.

 

i'm using TRD and I like it, might not be quite enough for you, but the stock muffler wasn't that quiet either. TRD is just a little louder than stock. you might want to inquire about the DC or Blitz mufler.

 

MagnaFlow has a full stainless cat back exhaust. They will have some for sale at the El Toro meet for cheap. It's the only mass production cat back system on the market.

i think theres going to be a hard time getting any sort of consensus on an exhaust since there are alot out (compared to other stuff for or car)

ive heard very mixed reviews on the trd. some like it. so say its very 'DRONEY'

im waiting for the injen ses exhaust before i decide since ive been very happy with the intake ive got from them. so i think they deserve a fair shake on the exhaust. unless it takes forever and a good deal comes up first.

 

definately magnaflow.

 

which is deeper/quieter? blitz, rsr, or tanabe?

 

I 3rd that!!!

 

of course you know what i'm gonna say ;)

hit Jon up for a SPFR cat back, uses a magnaflow muffler and a custom resonater and is 100% mandrel bent, good for at least 7whp and 5lbs torque!

**ahem** jon, when you getting to the shop man, i can't wait to get mine installed!

or check out the magnaflow, or the stylis manafold back systems, both are making some good power since they are a full system, rather than just a a can.

if you want some real power gains, i'd stay away from the axel back systems, they are mainly for looks/sound, not for performance.

 

has anyone tried the tanabe exhaust?

 

how about JIC Bullet exhaust. I have one and i like it. It's an axle back.

 

I have the Tanabe axle back on my xB. Its low, throaty, and not that loud. In fact at 3.5k rpm I hear the Injen intake more than I hear the exhaust!

I want the Magnaflow cat-back, but the rep wouldn't take a check from me at El Toro before the meet. I couldn't find him at the meet to find out how I could pay w/ CC on monday. Oh well, my loss. Denny, Adrian, and Nilo had it, and it sounded great!

 

id say DC since i have it and i am very happy with the results i have some sounds slips on here under moving on up pt2 in the power hunry section i have some better ones that ive taken that i still need to upload ive heard the magnaflow from the clips on their site and it sounds pretty damn load but i think it dpoesnt really sound like that since my clips lost quality when i uploaded them but id recommend the DC id also say wait for the injen to see how that one would perform

 

<looking around> Stylis hasn't posted here yet ........ what!?

gonna get his axel back ... uses magnaflow, nice tone, looks nice (the wifey even likes it!) ... and the price beats all i've seen so far

 

heres a sound clip of my TRD exhaust before i put the AEM intake on. Its a little deeper with the Intake.

Does anyone have the Blitz or RSR exhaust? I'd like to hear some opinions on those, I like the way the Blitz looks, but I like how the RSR has bigger piping. Then I was going to fab up my own intermidiate pipe from the cat to the axle-back.

 

stock with a nice tip, you lose too much bottom end power and the upper end gains of 2-3 HP are just not worth the 300-400 bucks.......just my opinion.

 

DC sounds good and deep. There should be a clip floating around.

 

I would go with a Powertone muffler and just do the custom piping round the axle. It's the best sound I've heard but then again, I've gotten 2 tickets in the last month and a half. I like the sound so much I keep on the exhaust and just pay the increasing price in my tickets. I got off one ticket but had to pay another one this week. They bumped it up $50 from the one I got off but hey, sounds KILLER

 

does anyone have any sound files for the different types of mufflers for the xb?
