Searching for a Quiet Catback Exhaust - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tonystewart · 11-15-2013, 06:21 AM

I need recommendations for a "Quiet" Cat Back to accompany the other exhaust components.

Current setup is a
FA20club EL Catted Header
Perrin Overpipe
Nameless Catted Helmholtz Resonated Front Pipe
Perrin Resonated Cat Back Exhaust

I went to a vball banquet last night in daughters car, sat in the back seat, drivers side rear, quiet at idle, during acceleration, part throttle, I couldn't hear myself talk! I've never sat back there before, but know why other girls shove their earbuds in when riding with her in the back seat. Obnoxious!
Later in the evening I ride in the front passenger seat, not too loud at all.
I've sound proofed the heck out of this car, and the stereo rocks, but that back seat even for a 20 minute drive was obnoxious.

I still have the complete stock cat back exhaust in storage.
Am I reaching for something unobtainable? Any recommendations?
I will be buying something to fix this asap, any advice from vendors is appreciated as well, Thanks

invidia q300 is super quiet, almost stock like until you get past 3-4krpm

Magnaflow. Well made, quiet, and drone free. I had one for a year, and liked it. It was replaced by a TRD cat-back...big mistake.

^^trd is not that loud. Couple of guys here have that.
You can always get rid of op/fp and just leave your catback on

Does anyone have a quiet catback that has EL Headers ?

TRD is loud, I'm looking to keep the power combination ahead of the catback.

I got the Tsudo cb and fp/dp installed on Wednesday. It is quiet but deep. I think it sounds better than both the Evo3 and Nameless axle back. I'm not sure how it would sound with what you already have though.

It really isn't. Even gave my friend a catless front pipe bc he wanted it to beef up the sound.
Trd has a nice sound. Just isn't loud as you and others may say/think.

I have the hks el header along with Perrin OP, motiv catless FP, and resonated Perrin catback. I think the sound is just right. Especially after experimenting with catted front pipe, on my UEL AND EL as well and unresonated catback.
