Need info on stock exhaust

Okay so i have a db1 with a b16a and my exhaust is really getting on my nerves. I currently have an ebay header and obx cat with a stock muffler. I just recently put back the stock muffler on the car because the muffler I had on before was too loud. I liked the sound of it when I first got the exhaust done but now I’m just tired of it and I thinking of putting back the whole stock exhaust system. My question is would it be worth it to upgrade the valvetrain and intake manifold with a stock exhaust? I want the quietest ride possible but I still want a little more pep from the engine. Would a stock exhaust system with a magnaflow cat suffice? All opinions are welcome and sorry for the long post.

P.S. I know the header and obx cat are crap but I bought them in my early ricer days. I now know you get what you pay for.

imo i don’t think it well give u enough exhaust flow due to the small piping… if u want a quiet exhaust that give u more pep is either go with the Greddy SP2 or RSR, if not then probably custom piping w/ some type of quiet universal muffler out there… u can maybe try out the pacesetter one’s but don’t know if there loud or not… i currently have the sp2 and love it, quiet yet performace gains, sound nice ass hell too…

Would having wider diameter piping help? I just don’t want to buy an exhaust system and end up not liking the sound of it.

The larger the muffler is, the less restriction there needs to be per volume decrease. Get the biggest muffler you can fit.

Would an itr muffler work? I don’t want to go back to a big ass muffler hanging off the back of my car. Would having the stock header with a performance muffler and carsound cat be better?

itr won’t fit, maybe the mid-pipe but not the axle back… well actually both well fit but your muffler well sit on the wrong side of the car (passenger)… just either go custom or aftermarket… u have no other way of lessen those exhaust resrictions

Ok so between the greddy sp and the rsr, which one is a quieter exhaust? Does anyone have any videos of these on their tegs?
