Help from the ATL guys?
 

Hello everyone, my name is Nick and I got my hot lava fr-s two weeks ago. I'm trying to decide on exhaust and wanted to hear some in person if possible. Would anyone in the metro Atlanta area want to meet up for a cruise/possible shoot, and to check out some exhaust systems? I'm in the lawrenceville/suwanee area, but would be cool with meeting up wherever works.

I'm down. I'm installing my HKS Legamax this evening (pending no rain).

Also, you just missed it since it was yesterday, but there are bi-weekly meets in/near ATL.

Just for reference... here's what I seem to have arrived at in terms of loudness.

**Tamer

TRD
Tanabe


Greddy SP Elite
HKS?
Perrin - Resonated
Nameless - with mufflers


Invidia Q300

Invidia N1?
Borla
Greddy Evo3 (not as loud if you use the inserts)

**Not so Tame

yep...If you come out to the tuesday night meets, you can hear my nameless or @chuchutrain's legamaxxx

I saw the thread about biweekly meets that had all of the dates listed. Where are the Tuesday meets? I would love to come out to one. As far as exhaust, I'm definitely looking for something on the louder end, just not as loud as my strait piped 328i was. It's just very difficult to get a good feel for sound from YouTube.

Greddy Evo3 or N1

Definitely leaning towards the greddy. Has anyone heard the borla cat back in person?
Also, just looked up the invidia n1. It sounds fantastic, especially for the price.

I forgot about that. A few dealers install them stock. Just as loud as the Greddy I'd say.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm definitely looking into the invidia n1. I think the greddy is on back order and the n1 seems to sound just as good.

check TopSpeed Motorsports, they're local and will try to earn your business. they should come close to anything you can find on these forums.

Shoot Mike an email: mike AT topspeedtuned DOT com
Let'em know Alex sent you, I just got the Legamax from him.


or...
Greddy evo3 in classifieds

Will do! Thanks a lot for the help guys! I will try to make It out to the next meet.

I just bought some Whiteline goodies for our Legacy from Mike at Topspeed. He's great to deal with and their prices matched the cheapest I could find online. I'd recommend them as well.

I have the Borla cat back on mine (dealer installed). I haven't been to the weekly meeting yet (just got the car two weeks ago and was busy the day of the last meet up) but I'll try to make it to the next one so you can check it out.
I'm in the Smyrna/Vinings area.

That would be great! How do you like it?

I like it a lot. Not loud when cruising around at 2k RPM, but it gets pretty loud at 4k. No idea what it sounds like above 5k since I haven't taken it there yet (break-in, fun fun).
