Wink Quiett catback that doesn't sit so low

Hey guys,

I was set on getting the titanium tipped hks hi power spec l but I've heard it's fairly loud. While that wasn't a deal breaker, I've heard it's got some head throbbing drone even with stock header and front pipe.

I also looked into the q300 and r400 but I've noticed that the mufflers sit fairly low on the ground. Fairly low as in you can see the muffler at the eye level. I know it's a minor thing but I really wanted a setup where the muffler is hidden.

Are there any options that meet the criteria?

Thanks

I think all the quiet ones with a big muffler hang about the same to get the tail pipes angled out correctly and to keep the bumper from parachuting. You could always spray one flat black or run a diffuser.

Perrin 2.5" resonated? Maybe it's my opinion, but that could pass for stock on sound and appearance.

I don't have the HKS Spec-L, but I have the similar Blitz NurSpec VSR StyleD. Both are cannon style mufflers and run 60mm piping (which is pretty conservative at 2.3" WRT 2.5" and 3" exahust). Sound level was good, and no drone at all when I was all stock, catback only.

Catless is a different story.

I originally wanted the HKS system, but eventually went with Blitz because of Catless sound character. Otherwise, I think the two are pretty comparable as far as note and sound level all-stock.

And "loud" is all relative to personal preference. Approximately every 10 dB, the perceived sound is about twice as loud. Stock exhaust is rated at about 83 dB at peak. Most of the loudest Japanese street exhausts are rated 93 dB peak for catback only (per JASMA regulations).

4:2:1 catless header (or punch out the cat in the OEM header), 2.5" overpipe, 2.5" duel resonated front pipe (or OEM frontpipe if you really need a cat, that works) , OEM catback.

All the bits you need for NA performance, nothing you dont.

Disclaimer: Pro tune is a given, money saved on not buying pointless catback can be used for tuning, or beer, lots of beer.

Opinions may vary

Why not stay stock? Cat backs don’t do shit for performance.

Ultimate racing, if you're interested...



Other videos too with or without a turbo. With a turbo it got very bassy, so not drone but the bass fights with my stereo, lol. I still love it.

Honestly I would love to get in on that offer but I don't have enough funds to buy that set at the moment.

My plan was to get the catback then jdl quiet frontpipe overpipe combo then get the jdl v2 kit. I was debating whether I wanted to go na or fi, but going fi is ultimately my goal

I would just use the stock front pipe. Hell if you plan to stay low on the boost you could even keep the stock overpipe
