I recently changed my factory exhaust to a Racing Beat header / presilencer and some catback aftermarket set of mufflers I got a deal on at the junk yard. And now my 87 NA is loud! I mean it sounds like an airplane when it is idling. Driving down the road is just like flying along in a prop plane (if anyone here is a pilot you know the sound). For all I know it shoots flames too.

How loud is your exhaust and what do you consider to be too loud? I may put a highflow cat on each segment of the Y pipe before the mufflers to quiet it down and keep it from scorching anything.

 

mine's not that loud, I have a Bonez race pipe with the Racing Beat catback.

 

i've got 2 custom mufflers and a Race pipe...It's loud

 

I dunno, I have a 2.5" downpipe, bonez hi flow cat, apexi n1 duals on my 91 TII

With out silencers in it I wore ear plugs on a four hour drive. It is loud as hell when you get on it.

I got 2.5" dp, to straight pipe and dual magnaflow race muffler's, and it's loud.... loud loud loud, I can't hear anymore.. so loud...

 

any N/A with headers is way too loud...

get some better mufflers. the RB ones are really good.

 

i dont know yet ill let you know as soon i get the new one welded in this week =)

 

You know...since I installed my system....it isn't loud anymore.

 

I have corksport cat to bonez race pipe and its pretty loud, like really loud.

 

Yeah NA's are like that (hugs his turbo ). Right now its real quiet... blown motor (kicks his turbo ). But Im going to be installing a 3in turbo back racing beat exhaust, should be pretty loud.

 

116 db

 

my n/a's pretty loud when i get on it too... not TOO bad until i hit the 80mph drone zone..... RB header, presilncer, hks 50mm catback on a ported 90 gxl

 

80db at idle
85db at 2500rpm not under load (just sitting there and holding it)

 

i have the original exhaust system, and its so loud from the rusted out holes it has the nebiros (sp? it's early give me a break) r probly calling the cops right now cause i am letting it warm up to go to school

neighbors?

 

'88 n/a Bonez hi flo cat with standard catback. It has a nice rumble sound, but I don't like the drone at highway speeds.

 

I think there should be some "HP-to-dB" ratio scale to determine this. You see, a 108 db exhaust on a 250 rwhp TII may indeed be way too loud, but a 108 db on a 550 rwhp TII is definitely bearable

 

Mine is freakin' LOUD. The tool who owned the car before me put on two OBX mufflers (not even catback, just mufflers) that are BASICALLY straight through, and now it's got no cats, 2.5" exhaust.. LOUD

 

I have Racing Beat headers, presilencer, and the Corksport catback. Inside the car I register between 70-110db. Outside I hit 120 if the meter is right next to the car. A pedestrian would get about 110db if I'm driving around. sorta like this...http://zeffy.novus-logic.com/media/fc%20loud.wmv

 

i'm at 92db at idle,117 max db at wot.rb dual header,presilencer and older style turbo rb mufflers.[true duals]

 

I dunno how many DBs mine is putting out, but it sets off car alarms.

2.5" Bonez Race pipe, RP catback. It's slightly louder than stock at idle(nice rumble) but once it gets past 3k it's really loud but seems to quiet down as long as I don't acclerate. How much is a dB meter? I want to measure mine and compare it with other setup.

 

Hey barwick, how does the exhaust sound though? I was thinking of gettin that brand of mufflers, how does the sound compare to the N1s? Thanks.

 

You can hear mine from a mile away is that bad? hehe

 

Im pretty sure i have him beat, so if he's bad, im in real trouble. Heh heh
