got my whole exhaust done a few days ago. i removed the scuba tank and replace it with a magnaflow spun metal core cat and a magnaflow 24" or 30" silencer and a straight 2.5" pipe w/o muffler. heres some pics

before..........







and after............







i got the sound i was going for " a deep rumble ". sound great but i do have a big problem. my setup now is a injen cai, weapon-r header and s-pipe and a 2.5" full custom exhaust w/o scuba tank and muffler. basicly i don't have a real cat now just a race cat. the problem is, it's very very loud, you could hear me coming from a few blocks away loud and clear. inside the car theres sum vibrations coming from the exhaust and i can't hear my engine noise anymore" intake ". so now i'm planning on getting a muffler but not sure which one should i get. for the options i have now is either get a trd, tanabe touring, hks, magnaflow. from the 5 different brands which is the most quiet? i'm looking for one that can help cut down the sound by 20% is all i need. any comments, info or opinions is much appreciated. thank you in advance for the help i get.

 

i also replaced my scuba tank, but just with a 14" magnaflow muffler. at first i was like holy hell this is way to loud but after a week i got used to it. yea its a lil ricey but i like being noticed in my cars. i might actually add a highflow magnaflow cat to go back to the 2 cat setup these cars have.


but give it some time it might grow on u.

 

Tanabe touring is alomost as quiet at stock. The exhaust note is much deeper though. Nice low rumble. I like the style of the tip the best out of all exhaust. As alwyas, GREAT Tanabe quality.

 

thanx so the tanabe is even more quiet than trd?

 

You should have installed a resonator and 2.25" exhaust piping if you wanted less noise.

 

whats the 2nd part you put in?
after the cat

 

I thought it was just a straight pipe but it looks like the cat and a glasspack

 

^ " magnaflow 24" or 30" silencer "

 

I think the Tanabe has a deeper rumble tone than the TRD. Sound level is about the same. The Tanabe looks and is made better better though. I really didn't care for the look and quality of the TRD exhaust.

 

Same here, was never into the TRD exhaust, dont like the look of it and i heard you can barley tell a difference with it. Too much money for something that doesnt do worth a damn

 

I'm curious if it'll pass smog...

 

no need for 6 years in Cali... then it gets interesting..

 

WHAT?!?! That's lame! I got my car last year and had to do inspection and emission this year, but I don't next year. Utah...

 

it's the magnaflow 24" or 30" silencer

 

well i did thought about it but 2.5" would give me better flow and performance and i didn't expect it to be that loud w/o the sucba tank. it's just very loud right now w/o any rasp that what i really like about it.
where can i get the best price for the tanabe touring?

 

i've checked it today and it wasn't close

 

Tanabe Medallion Touring for 08 xB:

But I don't know about any possible ScionLife discounts or shipping charges.

 

thank you cionide you always help the needy. i just check w/ptuning and it'll cost $350 including shipping and the scionlife discount still works. but i'll still look around a little more

 

Just do it, they take care really good care of us, and I'm pretty sure you won't beat them for either price or quality service.
