reduce drone on motorway
I love the exhaust set up on my rev2, its loud as hell which is fine local but on the motorway I feel almost suicidal.
Any way to lessen the drone?

Back box will be the issue, change that.
Get a custom one made, that way you get the style you want and the sound you are after.

Off the shelf there isn't much about anymore.
The japspeed is stupidly loud so no fun on longer drives.

HKS silent power is a quiet one but discontinued.

Drive faster? above 90 they don't drone

Re: reduce drone on motorway
I've found above 80 it's great, 90-95 still quite and it's quite common I have a flame or two if I lift lol

Re: reduce drone on motorway
Don't know where it comes from that the japspeed is stupidly loud.
I have one on my Rev 3 turbo with a berk decat.

![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
It's on a par with my old mongoose exhaust.

Re: reduce drone on motorway
Watched 2 fail a static sound test on a track day last year, the guys were gutted.
They spent half the day fabbing up bungs just to get on track.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Sounded great at full chat but way too loud for a daily, would drive me mental.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Maybe I'm just getting too old to enjoy mopping the blood out of my ears after a motorway journey.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Normal HKS Hi-Power is still available and is on the more quiet end of whats available, but costs actual money unlike a japspeed which is just a badly made copy of an old greddy exhaust.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Either that or again spend some actual money on a custom design or a Fujitsubo Legalis R from japan.
