Exhaust sound questions?!?
 

I'm wondering what you guys think that best sounding exhaust is that's available for the FC. I'm really looking for something that sounds like a TUBI exhaust (a company that makes exhausts for ferrari's...hmmm wonder why i like them??? and nsx, lambos, vipers, etc.). I really love that sound in general and am just looking to see what you guys think. Also if you have sound files post them!!!!!

Thanks

I don't think your ever going to make a rx7 sound like a v12 pistion engine!! My tII has a full 3" turbo back with no cats. the sound is somewhere between my lawn mower and my gixxer 750.

RB...its simply the nicest sound for the rotary IMO.

I find that the thing that pleases my ears most is the rotary note... through a catylitic converter. They literally purrr when idling, and when you get on the gas, they make a beautiful, "sporty" exhaust note that you might hear at a race track. When you go straight pipe all the way back, you lose that, I think. I'm really considering having a high flow cat just for the sound! Good question though, I'm interested in what everybody else thinks!

P.S. With a cat, they don't really "drone" at freeway speeds either, which is a bonus.

checkout www.corksport.com I have the corksport cat back exhaust on my 88 vert. It sounds aggressive, and is a good build. Very easy to install. Also there is a silencer available for it. Increase high end hp and low end torque. Makes my vert rev a lot faster due to extra flow.

Okay maybe I should've been more clear on the subject...I already have an exhaust system on my 7 (I'm not trying to make it sound like a V12...the F355 is a V8 and the NSX is a V6, screw the lambo I just said their name for the heck of it ;)). I'm just looking for the sounds that you guys have and what you consider to be the best sounding system available. Hell if they have a TUBI or even anything remotely like it I WANT IT! I truly love the sound of the rotary engine (easily the best sounding engine ever), I'm just looking for the "perfect exhaust" to complement it. By the way I also love the sound of the hi-flow cat!

By the way here's a video of an NSX with a TUBI exhaust system...

Now tell me if that isn't one of the most beautiful sounds you've EVER heard...

I got my exaust like 3 mnths ago and so far i feel its the best sounding exaust ive heard. My set up is a bonez staight pipe to the single N1. Obvoulsy i like a loud exaust and thats exactly what it is. But not ricey loud or high pitched its a wonderful low tone exaust note, And when im in a tunnel its even lower i love it.
From what ive been told when you go with downpipe/midpie combo you get an even lower better sounding tone thats like a ferrari sounding exaust. And then headers are prob gonna get you more power but will make your car sound more like a lawn mower.
So your also gonna have to consider weather going for headers or dp combination for the type of sound you might be looking for.
Good luck!

I hate the sound of headers...well I haven't heard them with the exhaust sleeves just yet, but for the PP exhaust I hate the sound.

Get a 20B...add any exhaust you can afford - it'll sound like the TUBI exhaust. :)

Haha...yea proly.

Seriously though, those TUBI exhausts are BANK!&nbsp You willing to spend over a GRAND for such an exhaust?&nbsp It's more the engine exhaust note than anything - the TUBI exhausts (I've been trying to analyze their design) are super long pre-silencer mufflers.&nbsp This allows for a lot of engine muffling...


-Ted

Yea, I know how much they are (you should see a full exhaust system...$1750 is just a catback), and yes I'm willing to spend the bank for one. I too have analyzed them, have you heard the sound they create though...just gotta love that. Of course I'd have to have ANOTHER 7 to put it on though. Gotta keep the true rotary sound on the original. :)
