What exhaust should I get (gtx2867r turbo)
Hi,
On my WRX I had a Magnaflow and it was awesome. A nice deep rumble, but not obnoxious. I'm getting boosted on 10th Jan - aiming for 280-300whp. Getting SME turbo kit with garret gtx2867r. The piping is SME 3". I've tentatively ordered a 3" q300 because I'm old and not too much of a showpony and I do like a slightly sleeperish vehicle. Are there better/other options that sound beastly but won't crank the dB to the point where house windows shudder and car alarms go off in a carpark? I see the fugitsubo authoritive R - but it's another 1000$aud. Also looked at greddy evo Gt. What are my options? It's really hard to gauge sound levels and note from YouTube coz everyone is using random recording devices. I don't want my exhaust to be too quiet - I want to hear it a bit. My concern with the q300 is that it may sound the same as stock from in the cockpit. Last edited by softgrip; 12-28-2016 at 09:25 PM. |

Along the same lines as what you are already looking at is the Perrin. Best recommendation anyone can give you is to find some other people at a local 86 meet and see what they have and how it sounds.

Happy with my Magnaflow, had it installed from early on. I think it was my first mod, actually. The stock exhaust was just too muted plus I wanted to delete the sound tube.
However, after headers and overpipe it was noticably louder. Then, after the supercharger I sometimes wish I had a Q300, particularly on the highway when it can get up there in decibels to the point that it's sometimes difficult to clearly hear the stereo. I'd stick with your decision.

I had the Perrin 3" resonated and after a year or so it got so loud I had to remove it.

Side note: The less back pressure the quicker the turbo spools.
