Exhaust Systems

I am looking for an exhaust system for my 91 ls (stock b18a1 with dc headers). I like the sound of a hks hi power (silent exhaust). I want to get the performance but I dont want anything loud and obnoxious for 2 reasons:

  1. I drive alot to and from work. Roughly 100 miles round trip per day.
  2. I am too old to be running around with a loud exhaust like some of the younger enthusiast like to have. I not saying that there is anything wrong with that, I am just saying I prefer to have something quieter. Something along the lines of a Infiniti G35 exhaust or something close to it.

My questions are:

  1. Does anyone here have the hks hi power with resignator that helps tone it down? I found this clip of a ITR with hks hi power silent on Youtube. Sounds good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCdoiBCT1RU

  2. Does anyone have the Tanabe Touring Medalion? I found this video clip on Youtube but its from the Inside of the car and I want to know what it sounds like from the outside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfPT7Ox1-7Q&feature=related

Any help is appreciated.

i had an rs-r exmag. i was running it with a test pipe, and it had a wonderful sound, not loud at all and very smooth sounding. just yesterday, i sold it to a friend, also with a 92 gsr. if someone was running a resonator in place of the test pipe, then it would even have a more subtle sound. i like to put my exhausts together myself, using 2.5 mandrel bent tubing . i buy my resonators and choose my muffler and get to work.

I did like the Infiniti G35 muffler idea last year I got a 350z muffler it was to big and heavy i paid 20 bucks for it and i cut the tips off and I got a 94 camaro muffler I was going to put the tips on there never did.

I want to get a 08 and up sti wagon muffler or a 2011 wrx wagon muffler
I have a 2011 wrx and the muffler looks like it mite fit… heres a pic of what it looks like…

here is a video I removed the resonator and here how it sounds

I like the 07 civic si muffler idea

theirs a new muffler out!!

If I am not mistaken the G35 and 350z share the same exhaust. Either way they sound good to me.

I definitely like the WRX wagon exhaust. It would be nice to duplicate that for a DA.

I am going to have to look into that new Varex exhaust. Thats nice having the ability to swap from one to the other with just the click of a remote.

the 2011 wrx was made to look like the sti so it now has the sti muffler as will. the 2010 wrx muffler is different only a single out no duels

Here is my system… JDM-style 4-1 header with a 2.5" collector, high flow Magnaflow 2.5" cat, full RS*R catback. (2.33" exhaust I believe?)

RS*R

got a Greddy SP1/Trust axleback on my car sounds really nice, deep tone quiet. Just exhaust in the back and stock resonator/midpipe. Had it custom welded just to stock pipe

Welding an axleback/muffler to the stock midpipe is just for sound and adds no performance properties at all.

OP, if your DC Header has a bigger outlet than stock (~2") then you should definitely look into upgrading the size of your piping from the cat, all the way back.

If you get a reputable system, not only will it sound good, you’ll actually make your motor breathe better… resulting in more power.

So does anyone have the Tenabe Touring Medallion on their DA?
