I think i've got the loudest exhaust.

Rb street header, presilencer, apex'i n1 catback.


Just an FYI I know alot of people were asking about how loud this setup is.... It is... without question, the loudest exhaust above 4k rpm. however it does have a nice deep idle tone. Above 4k it sounds like a 250cc dirtbike with them damn FMF pipes er what-have-you.

It is loud, it is high pitched and whiney. I showed it to a few friends of mine, They kinda looked at me dumbfounded and said they have NEVER heard a car that sounds like that before.

Someday i'll put together an mp3 of it.

I helped one of my friends put a header on a DSM the other day, but we had some problems with the rusted out factory exhaust. We ran it open header just to see how it sounded, it was very amusing to say the least.

I'm almost temped to try it on my RX-7 now.

I don't know John. Reese's car can drown out my car, and that's not bad considering my is pretty loud. I think he may take the cake for this one.

True I haven't heard it. But if you say you drowned out Reese I'll take your word for it. Hey you can't blame me for not making the meet. Soon I'll be back.

Are we talking about a stock block with the exhaust diffusers in place?

You'd be surprised how much those diffusers quiet things down. Do a street port and take the diffusers out then you'll know loud!

and also a turbo car will never be as loud as an n/a car, buk. compare a peri port n/a to any turbo rx7 out there and see which one makes your ears bleed.

edit: hell, forget a peri port. take your setup (straight pipes with a corksport catback) and hook it up to an n/a car and the n/a car will be hella hardcore loud.

turbos quiet exhaust down a lot.

I drove with straight manifold one day on my car, hehehe don't know if it counts but I sounded like a friggin Nascar(cringes from saying that) car.

My daily setup of Bonez Super Flo to CS single Catback is hella loud.
I had a straight pipe to a crap cat to my CS and it was a little louder and had a bad civic rasp to it.

The Bonez SuperFlo gave it a good deep growl.

If you want loud, run a megaphone off of a set of headers with no mufflers. You 'll need grandpa's hearing aid in no time!

One of our cars (that I am not allowed to touch, yet) ran as an n/a periphereal port with an uncollected header, nothing else for exhaust.

It was honest-to-god painful to be around, even with earplugs.

Its quieter now, with a turbo in the exhaust path.
