I had Cobb TBE and it was a nice balance in volume and had a sweet con- sistant sound...no droning. Headers will slightly increase the sound level.

i used to run a greddy evo 2... i love that exhuast. its nice and mellow but when ur on it, it gets a little loud but nothing crazy.... dude just get another car.. i just had a baby girl and i was gettin nervous that i might have to change my set up and get rid of the car.... just get another car... it saved me tons... it just depends on what you can afford at this point.. me im a loon and i grabbed a denali. it was kind of a bad choice but hey i rather have the baby in a big ass truck then in a lil honda beater or something.. and plus now i can hual and tow. so at fiirst i was a fail.. but now im winning... but im still failing at gas lol its a hard one... as u can see im up and down about the whole thing lol just get a second car... having kids really is about making there lives better but at the same time possibly destroying your own life lol lol good luck dude.
plus the first couple months you have to kind of stay indoors cause of the baby not having shots and stuff.. so u might be able to pull off not changing anything for some time..

ditto. i have a fujitsubo legalis R and even on the throttle it makes barely a burble. can't imagine anything could be quieter except for stock. i don't see them for sale anymore though. previously had prodrive and it droned.

actually....REDUCING the diameter of the midpipe between the end of the dp and the beginning of the axleback from 3' to 2.5"(all of the tbe really all needs to be either coated or wrapped all the way back to the muffler can to work properly.....but kiddie boiz dont know anything about thermodynamics or any of all this kinna un k00 stuff cuz it aint k00) creates INCREASED flow as the exhaust gas cools and contracts and slows down in the pipe....but this only really works if you use a straight through design muffler....but decreasing the pipe size actually CAN increase flow....a LOT...if it is done right...like coated and wrapped
but it aint a 3" pipe so it aint k00 and its wrong because it cant be right because math and all that junk

but what do i know about anything, anyway

wives tales and 'common sense' that is just faulty logic is the rule here......but actually knowing stuff aint k00

oh well....keep on keepin on.........
au contraire. i went from
3" downpipe - 2 1/4" JDM STi midpipe - 2.5" Prodrive
to
3" downpipe - 3" Fujitsubo

on stock turbo. i didn't spring for a dyno run, but accessport virtual dyno gave consistent readouts of over +10 hp and +25 lb/ft and butt dyno agrees
