[Mk2] [Turbo] Can anyone recommend a quiet exhaust for a turbo?

[davidmit]

Hi all,

I've just got my first MR2 turbo and I'm loving it, I bought PCDOCS blue one which has had a few modifications. However the exhaust is not exactly descrete. Its a Revision6 Stainless Steel Exhaust from rogue which has twin 4.5" exits


Can somebody recommend an exhaust that still looks nice but is as quiet as possible? I'd rather have the street sleeper rather than in your face.

Cheers


EDIT: I found a thread using google to search the forum. Dont know why it never worked using the forum search. Ignore this please

I have a Fujitsubo RM01A and its almost silent at idle but makes a nice but not loud noise on boost through the revs.

Loud is the only way to do it!

mongoose, nice and deep at low revs and pretty quiet throughout the rev range, very well made and subtle looking

I've got an RM01A and had it with and without CAT in place. It is not even close to being as quiet as a Legalis R, HKS "Turbo", or stock exhaust, especially with a de-cat Sounds great, though and idling with decat is pretty loud (not in Nur Spec territory, though)

The other option would be a custom job from Hayward & Scott - you could have it sound how you like then. Not cheap, mind!

Toyota fitted a TRD exhaust as standard to Rev 5 cars, looks good sounds good without being in your face with two 4" exits. Check Demon Tweeks perhaps forget Powerflow there guarantee is designed to be got out of with bulsh-t annual inspections and there stuff is only as good as the fitter on the day standards vary be warned..

How much louder did the de-cat make it? I'm looking at fitting the Berk de-cat shortly.

Bit shameless, but have posted up my Tanabe for sale on the OC, which is quiet.

Almost stock quiet to be honest due to the size of the silencer, but much faster flowing than normal.

Instead I have fitted a Motoria, but wasnt quite ready for the difference in volume!

And decats do make quite a difference in noise

Hi mate Probably about 20% louder. The note at idle and low revs is awesome. Main benefit of course is the quicker turbo spool

[Marf]

Cool thanks, not too much louder then

[mattcambs]

No, it's a nice upgrade

Back on topic: I forgot to mention the HKS Silent Hi-Power. Chr15py has one - uber rare, fully stainless and very quiet

[Antstarr]

Is the berk actually a quiet exhaust?

[Razor04]

The NUR spec R by Blitz:


Quiet it aint, but looks the best IMHO

[craig]

I had a HKS Turbo on my old '2. Quietest exhaust I've had.

Also, Apexi Super megaphone is supposed to be quiet too.

[jimboy01]

I've also got the Fulitsubo Legasis R on my rev 3 tubby.

It's near standard sound but a little deeper, looks good to

Highly recommended but hard to get hold of as most have come over on cars from Japan.

Took me a good couple of months to get a second hand one but well worth the wait.
