I have the ETS 4" it gets pretty loud but I believe the Tomai (sp) is the loudest. I can be stood corrected but that's just to my knowledge.

i like the way mr r400 sounds but it is not loud at all. if the N1 is a louder r400 i’d go with that

I want to use this thread to piggy back of OP,

I'm looking for something middle ground. I was looking at the ETS quiet/ Extreme ..... will these fit snug to the Stock DP?

Also looking at Injen CBE

I guess my question is can 3 inch piping CBE fit to stock downpipe?

I have the injen on my 16 sti the flange is slotted to bolt up to the oem downpipe might wanna use some copper spray on it or something though. I didn't like how it looked so I ran a grimmspeed adapter to ensure it didn't leak

thanks for the feedback. How does the Injen sound on the sti? I did some research and it seems like its one of the louder ones on the market. Decibels as high as 97, with some highway drone.

It's noticable that's for sure and has some drone but man it sounds fantastic to me anyway I have a friend with the nameless muffler deletes and it's about half as loud as those cruising. I wouldn't trade mine even with the drone just because it sounds so good. However if you do buy it and run the grimmspeed adapter I would highly recommend some adjustable exhaust hangers the adapter pushes the whole system back just far enough to get really close to the driveshaft and to make the passenger side tips sit a little bit higher than the drivers side. I used adjustable exhaust hangers the ones with like 5 holes and corrected the tips and pulled the exhaust away from the driveshaft with them. However I don't think you will have any issues if you don't run the adapter.

Yea, I don't know if im looking for something too loud. I just don't want unwanted attention, and in jersey, cops are ruthless

No doubt you might wanna steer towards an r400 or something of that nature then because it is pretty noticable
