I always thought the Turbo Tuf was pretty mean sounding. It's loud as HELL, though .

It is true, rotaries have the chance and tendency to be more "rhaspy" and "whiny" than other engines that easily create lower/deeper exhaust tones.

Most of your conventional (GReddy, Apexi) single tip exhausts that can fit a CD inside of it will not fit right. I've heard them and didn't take them all that much...

I have an M2 Dual exhaust. The dual tips are well finished, they aren't humongous, and sound GREAT. Very refined sound, loud only when it should be. Most of the "older" owners choose this or the Racing Beat (which have an AWESOME professional finished look).

Both of these Dual tip exhausts are noted for being the quietest (but sexiest) in reference to tone and the finish just complements the looks of the FD. It somehow looks like it's meant to have a dual tip vs. a single tip.

I enjoy the sound of my HKS Carbon-Ti. I have had many opportunities to compare it to Ricey and even decently nice sounding Imports like Honda's and Nissans and it sounds much better. It gives it a nice look, and I believe the canister exhuast is lighter then double tip mufflers. As far as noise its kinda loud but I just put my silencer in when I am tired of hearing it. I personally think though that you should consider more then just the sound and look when buying exhuast systems. If I had the money I would go for the complete titanium exhuast!

I'm using the A'pexi GT Spec with a downpipe and midpipe, it sounds really deep and loud. It doesn't sound like rice.

Very true. Most of the older, more experienced, owners choose the RB or M2 which are very similar. Most of the younger kids want something louder.

Which group do you fall into ???

If sound is your main criteria, Greddy SP.

Since you use the term "ricey", I am assuming that you are referring to the typical "fart-cannon" type of sound. IMO, ALL of the single cannister-style exhausts available for the FD sound similar (except for loudness), which is to say -- "fart-cannon" like.

If my assumptions are correct about your definition of "ricey", then you will want to stick with a true muffler-style exhaust -- which happens to result in the same choices some of the other members already listed -- Racing Beat, M2 (no longer in business), Greddy SP, or PFS (availability?).

I have the RB dual tip and it sounds wonderful. Very mellow but rich tone. I give it the ol' two thumbs up.

I have the greddy SP and it gives a nice deep tone, but the tip is a little big for my taste. I haven't heard the RB duals, but I hear they are nice also.

I'm beginning to get annoyed of the loud exhaust thing so I may end up selling my Turbo Tuf exhaust to something more mature I guess? I'm also tired of getting paranoid of my exhaust hitting the ground every time there is a bump, since I live in the city.

You link doesn't work


Does anyone know what the value of a Turbo Tuff exhaust would be? I got it with the car when I bought it but I know its expensive as hell.

I am a mature 29 years of age and I really like my RB Dual Tip. Quality is top notch. You get some droning at highway speeds, but I think that will happen with any aftermarket.
