Exhaust Sound with Midpipe
 
hey...Ive searched on this forum and I couldnt find anything really dealing with a good sounding exhaust WITH a midpipe

To give you a example of the sound I like, Im not a fan of AMAZINGLY loud, but not a fan of quiet either. Something that sounds really good and leaning toward the louder side, but not ear piercing. I love the sound of the Apexi N1, but have only heard it without the midpipe. People have said the N1 sounds like shit when it has a midpipe, so it got me thinking again. I also looked at the HKS Drager II, but also found out that its a pretty bad system for reliability and performance. If im wrong please correct me on any of this info. Does anyone know a good reliable and well-performing exhaust that sounds real good WITH a midpipe?? If so do you have any sound files or info sites??thanks for responding and sorry if its a repost, I just couldnt find what I was looking for.:(

Anything with a straight MP is gonna be loud.
I have the N1 single tip and it was grossly loud with the MP and full exhaust. Hi Res MP was nice but Im starting to lose brain cells when I let it warm up for a while and the fumes kick find their way into the cabin.

my greddy sp sounds real good. I hear it performs really well too. just go with what you like. If you like the N1 then get it.

so dp, mp, N1 cb = really loud, is it a good sounding loud or like ungodly

ive got a turbo tuff cat back, and it isnt too awfully loud. maybe a little louder than a racing beat single

i have a midpipe with the n1, and it is ungodly....

108 db at idle, hurts my head on the highway. but when i get into it the sound makes it all worth while. 8000 rpms through a tunnel is so fun and the car sounds like its going to kill people. :D

thank god for silencers

I sat next to trout2's car on the highway once and he has a midpipe and rb dual. I didn't hear it at all.

if you guys want loud, just get an external wastegate and dump it into the atmosphere on top of a full straight through exhaust. Then take it to a tunnel and mash on that peddle. be carefull you may not be able to hear the sirens of the cops chasing you.

^haha

Can't wait to open her up next week after tuning under the bridge getting on the interstate in second gear.

But I have the dp, mp, and Peter Farrell catback. It is really loud, but not as loud as Greddy PE or Apex'i N1. I also here the N1 with a midpipe has a ricey sound. The Peter Farrell sounds great. I just installed my single w/ wastegate dump, so it is a little louder all around now. Haven't opened it up yet though to open that W/G.

I have a greddy PE and it is really quiet with the stock cat. I have heard that it is one of the quieter exhausts even with a midpipe. Personally I think the N1 sounds like ass with or without a midpipe.

I had Streetport with Downpipe, Midpipe, and a Greddy SP catback and it was enough to let everyone know a thing a two but not too ungodly loud. It had a great "gargling-rumble-grunt" to it, and when that 2nd turbo came on...it was like a massager on a table inside of the cockpit. Sorry for the bad explanation, but it's close to what I can think of

DP/MP/Racing Beat Dual Tip or M2 Dual Tip will sound fine. Only loud when you go WOT.

I had a DP, MP and HKS turbo Cat-back exhaust. It sounded fine. Unles I was really getting on it, i didnt even notice it after i had installed the midpipe.

Most of that is because the HKS Turbo Cat-back is so quiet to start.
