Greddy Evo GT vs. Tomei Type 80
Hi Guys,
I was thinking about swapping exhausts to the Tomei Type 80. Currently I have the Greddy Evo GT but would like a single exit exhaust now. The deep tones of the 80 seems to be great. Whats your experience with either of these 2 exhausts? On the Greddy Evo GT there is a lip where the mid-pipe connects to the exhaust that hangs lower than I would like so I think I can get better clearance with the Tomei? I heard the Tomei springs rattle when cold also. Which would you prefer and why. Which have you owned. |

Do you currently have or are you planning on adding a header, over-pipe, and front pipe in the future? If so, the Tomei Type-80 will be very, very, loud - not as loud as a Tomei Type-60R, but still pretty damn loud.
If you're looking for a high-quality single exit exhaust that sounds good with a header, over-pipe, and front pipe and that remains livable, you may want to take a look at the Blitz Nür Spec R stainless steel exhaust. Alex from FR-Sport is active on the forum and was a big help for me when I bought mine - you can reach out to him via PM at @mav1178 and you can see the exhaust on their site here: http://www.frsport.com/Blitz-MT3290-..._p_142265.html Last edited by RJasonKlein; 02-13-2017 at 08:40 PM.

The springs do rattle but the problem isn't the springs, it's the inner silencer. With it in, it sounds somewhat acceptable inside the car but stupid outside. And at idle it just sounds like a bad exhaust leak.

consider the Greddy Revolution RS. a bit 2x cheaper than the type 80, assuming youre buying it new. Still has a 3" piping throughout the whole catback. No bolt hole to install a silencer if you need one though.

Slip ons like the Tomei 80 are prone to exhaust leaks. Also, like mentioned above the fitment is spotty... which can be another source for exhaust leaks as you try to move things around to fit. If you want a 3'' single exit have you tried looking at the HKS hi power?

If you want to spend the money, you can also get Blitz Nur-Spec F-Ti 1-piece titanium catback.

FWIW I have the HKS Hi-Power and I love it. I really wanted to get the Tomei for the longest time but i just got swayed away after hearing some peoples experiences with it. It doesn't look as good as the Tomei but it sounds amazing. Its fairly loud on my turbo setup (Dual resonated), people will hear you coming, its not obnoxious, its a nice mellow tone. It's also half the price and gives better clearance while also being 3" diameter

I'll be honest, I recently had a tomei 80R with a tomei UEL and JDL 3 inch ultra quiet over front pipe with my supercharger setup. and HOLY SHIT. That thing was so loud... As much as I loved getting all the thumbs up from STi and WRX owners, I couldn't handle it with WOT.
it's funny that this thread exists.. I was contemplating the difference between the HKS hi power vs. the exhaust that OP currently has. Anyone have any input with that? (tomei 80r vs. HKS Hi-power single exit vs. Greddy evo gt? )
