Opinions on the PFS cat back please?

thanks

 

Loud

 

ted, who had one down there, Mark?

 

Yeah, it has gotten louder over the years. May be the packing is blown out.

It is loud but not high pitch chain saw loud. More like a low frequency, i.e., bassy loud. Listen to a Honda RC51 V-Twin with pipes. It sounds like the Honda except when you're on boost, it sounds like a jet engine. Very good construction.

I want something quieter but don't feel like spending anohter $500.

 

Yes, Mark... He has since gone to the new Greddy with a Pettit resonated DP. The PFS was killing him..... The M2 dual tip sounds very nice. One of our guys has one. Looks good too.

 

thanks Ted, the M2 I found a deal on has been sold, but I was just about to buy the PFS, I don't want it to loud, what Greddy system to Mark get?

 

I have a greddy SP exhuast and it's driving me nuts. I think the packing has blown. It was fine until I changed to a high flow cat. I have heard the old school HKS single tip and it's quite. I might go that route since it's much cheaper than the M2.

 

I've heard Goodfellas PFS exhaust and ridden in the car. It didn't seem to unbearably loud. But I don't see why a loud exhaust would bother you on a nondailydriven car.

I would say for a street car M2/Racing Beat
Weekend/Race Car I prefer maybe the PFS or Greddy.

All opinions though some aren't willing to give up quietness for performance. Some prefer to be heard from blocks away....

 

I had a PFS and didn't think it was too loud, especially for a weekend driver. I recently changed to a HKS HiPwer and I think it's louder. I have the PFS for sale if anyone is interested. PM me.

 

I would go with the Racing Beat SS dual tips if you want it quiet. I love them. It is quiet at cruising speed and gives a growl when you are on the throttle.

 

What does a stock cat back sound like, with a downpipe and bonez high flow cat?

 

It's really quiet. I have a M2 Downpipe and Bonez Hi Flo Cat w/ Stock Catback. You can hear the turbos spool and get a few backfires. It's a tad bit louder but it pretty much still has the same stock tinnyness to the exhaust.

 

Anyone have a sound clip of the PFS? I like loud exhausts as long as they keep a good tone.

 

PFS isn't THAT loud... certainly not like an Apexi dual, or some of the many "GT" canister exhausts out there... and its very deep and mellow.

Its also about 18 lbs, which is lighter than almost anything out there for the money, and its very well made.

 

The PFS is a very high quality peice. The best thing he ever made IMO. With the stock cat, DP, and his catback, the car was quiet. Now with the midpipe, its really not too bad until you get on the gas

 

Yeah, it's pretty quiet, imo. The sound isn't too harsh, but I do think that the tip is *way* too huge.

 

I've got a PFS catback with a dp and midpipe as well... At idle it's not very loud at all really, in the cab at least. Behind it it just sounds a little low and a bit more aggressive but not bad. When you get on it though it does roar a bit, and backfires of course are pretty common heh.

 

Haha, tell me about it!

 

Jason, Racing Beat dual or single tip is the way to go ! Even with a DP, MP, it sounds good. With cats, nice mellow tone that comes alive when you get on it. Actually, I just saw one for sale here on the forum.
