What would you guys recommend for an aggressive and sharp exhaust, but not annoyingly
 

Not too costly would also be a plus! Thanks

Corsa is a great exhaust. Its not on the loud side, but it has a great tone. Its a little bit on the pricey side but you also pay for quality.

Many other great exhausts like Q300 or Perrin 2.5 (3.0 if planning on going turbo)

I don't know much of the technical side of cars but what if I don't plan on going turbo any time soon but till get 3.0 instead of 2.5?

Get the TF-Works exhaust. 500 for unmuffled or 595 for the muffled version. I have the unmuffled version and it's fantastic.

Is there a video of it with just the exhaust alone? I've heard some with headers and other things and it sounds amazing. Exactly what I was looking for.

There's a couple videos of it in the TF-Works exhaust thread on here. Race version and sports version. One of the race videos is with a test pipe and the exhaust, the other video is just the exhaust, and mine in that thread is with headers and the exhaust. The sports version in that thread is just the exhaust as well.

Providing you're ok with a single exit exhaust, it could easily fit the bill

Both catbacks low-cost, great findsabout $560 ea.

Single Exit - Tanabe Concept G Medallion - Lightweight, quieter (at 93db), great looking. Get an @ft86speedfactory exhaust hole cover for the un-used side.

Dual Exit - MXP Comp RS - Got that bass. Sounds & looks incredible installed on the car. No drone.

I agree with you on the Corsa. It is just a bit too heavy however. I just can not get over the idea of adding weight while paying hundred's of dollars, even though its just a few pounds it feels wrong somehow, otherwise I agree I would be all over the Corsa.

I've been going back and forth deciding between the Tanabe and Invidia N1, but haven't heard anything about the MXP before. I'm thinking now that it could be a good third option :thumbup:

my advice would be to stay away from n1 unless you are done modding the exhaust after the catback. I've heard it's nice just alone but I can tell you first hand that it is realllllllllly loud paired up with headers. sounds great but loud.

i went with perrin 3.0 catback and nameless 2.5 overdownfrontpipe combo and its fine. wouldnt go 3.0 all the way back unless u do forced induction though.

This is mine on the dyno.

Just posted some videos of my new DC Sports exhaust on youtube check it out, i started a thread in the exhuast section and put all the videos there. Sounds real crisp but not too loud. Paired with some headers i may be in heaven.
PM me with any questions.

Do something original. We all have a Q300, Perrin, Nameless, or N1. Get something out of the ordinary. Like Milltek, MXP, or Injen!

Ive also been thinking about the MXP- I've found myself in a dilemma - I just installed my ACE EL headers - front and overpipe yesterday and now my car sounds like a high pitched tin can. So now im trying to add some sort of refinement and deepen the note.

the Borla catback has been bouncing around my head. Anyone with EL's run into the the same predicament or have any suggestions?

Edit: ACTUALLY, my exhaust sounds just like Starkillers video up above.

olsonpg: weird .. but i like that sound. :) Somehow that high pitch associates to me with high-rev race engines, not 'bassy' low rpm ones. To each his own i guess.

My whole exhaust is titanium. I had to have the mid pipe custom made by JDL because no one made one except for Tommy Kaira.

Supersprint

Perrin resonated :D

spec-d catback :D

Mines, full header back. The spec-d catback was only $400

See I totally felt the exact same way! Until i actually had everything installed.. It just sounds cheap. To me.
If i could give it a more refined high pitched scream i would love that. Its just the high pitch rattle can sound that comes through the cabin at 4500 + that makes me think of a 1998 civic with a 7 inch muffler scraping on the ground.

DC Sports DC Sports:thumbup:

Depo racing $100 catback. 2.5 od.

Truth

I run TRD catback (modified) Borla UEL headers, Motive test pipe, and customoverpipe. I love the sound. Maybe you can source the parts used to save some$$$

The MXP CompRS will definitely add bass. My buddy had a namless axleback and switched to the MXP. The MXP sounds lower, and more refined, but not quieter. It's deeper than my TRD USA catback (which is already pretty deep).

How did you modify the TRD? Replace the midpipe/resonater with 2.5?

Yeah. I opened it up to 2.5 inch. Left the resonater, although it is only slightly larger then the pipe now haha! I love the look of the TRD tips and the muffler sounds great IMO but it was just too small, easy fix though.

DONT get this one. I got it and would not recommend even for the price.

Any change on the sound or anything or were you just hoping for performance increase? I have the TRD and considered doing this, or replacing the stock resonator with an aftermarket one.

For $50? The parts alone are probably worth more. I just purchased one we will see how it goes.

but it gets white stuff on the bumper :( sniff sniff

Its hard to tell I installed the headers and had the over pipe built all at the same time. It is a tad raspy for me midrange under load but everywhere else sounds amazing!! No drone either.

Perrin 2.5 reso , mxp como rs or hks spec l... Which is which for performance?

don't worry about that mate. life is too short to be stressed out about such things

go with what gives you the most value

I went with Lerrin resonated 3in with a Tomei EL header. It has a low deepsound and when put the pedal down it does get a little louder, but not horrible.

Perrin 3" catback is nice!... no drone and sounds good when getting at it.

HKS spec L hi flow catback combined with HKS dual resonated front pipe. Robust and aggressive, but not overly loud unless want it to be. Installed with stock header, several compliments plus lite weight compared to stock.

I just wrote up a fairly loose review on the new GReddy EVO GT cat-back here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93318

Has a very aggressive tone that is not loud enough to be annoying.
