AZLegacy3.6 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Anyone able to find an exhaust system that gave your car a nice low rumble? I'm trying to stay away from the high pitch "rice burner" sound. Something like this would be epic. Starting to think my best option might be to take it to a custom shop.

tipsymechanic Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Is the Lachute system not produced anymore? It does sound real good. Magnaflow mufflers w/ Vibrant resonator is always a good choice. Oh, and Raptor headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprzme Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The nameless axle backs sound really good *however* because of the cvt the amount of drone inside the car is crazy(imo). Mine are hanging on the wall in my garage - put the stock back on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gathermewool Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Not just the CVT. The Nameless ABE I had on my '08 STI droned like crazy at normal, around-town RPM. I had to shift to a lower gear to keep it from droning. '15 FB25 Magnatec 0W-20 + FU filter (70,517 miles) RSB, Fr.

Ya I'm thinking a custom is going to be the best route to control the sound the way I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they sounded a little poppy at higher revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infosecdad Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Yep. ABE = Axle Back Exhaust. Aka mufflers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gathermewool Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 5" iirc, also had their catted downpipe installed, stock mid pipe Same here. I had to stay very close to 3k RPM in order to keep the boominess down. I couldn't stand it. I had a Invidia Q300 but have to cut and reweld the Midpipe.. It has a nice sound.. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk FWIW, I've never read about anyone saying they didn't like how the Q300 sounded. '15 FB25 Magnatec 0W-20 + FU filter (70,517 miles) RSB, Fr.

I'm trying to stay away from the high pitch "rice burner" sound. Something like this would be epic. Starting to think my best option might be to take it to a custom shop. I clicked on the link expecting to hear what the muffler sounded like. Instead all I heard was annoying music playing over everything including the initial muffler sound at idle... And that took 45 seconds of music and fluff? Listening to the car on the road while the same music was faintly playing I could only hear tire noise and mudflaps?! The last 5 seconds of the video had the car accelerating. -Do you want a sound track playing as you drive around or do you want a good sounding muffler? LOL.

I mean, driving around with your own personal sound track would be pretty epic but I would settle for a good sounding exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
