The front pipe is probably where you are getting most of the cabin noise from. If you swap that back to stock, it should quiet down a lot.


That said, the CSG Touring 86 catback should also help quiet it down but also give good notes where the stock catback will sound tinny.

unless you change out UEL header to stock it will be all similar.
I have Tomei UEL, Hi-Flow front pipe and Q300 and it's not super loud but normal people still feel it's loud.

You can't go wrong with CSG Touring made by MXP or Fujitsubo-S axleback.

I run a full JDL catless setup and with the Fujitsubo I get zero Drone. Here is a clip of my car on track. Smooth and is being recorded from the outside near bumper.

I picked up a stock catback in nice shape yesterday, should get it on by next week weather permitting.
@livingasleep seems to have gone through this iteration on his channel (JRSC, header, etc), though I have a catted front pipe. It still sounded a little loud on start up, but anything should be better than the TRD setup.

Sorry i didnt see this message until just now, thanks for the tag! But yup I have also gone through a few different catback setups with my JRSC setup to try to find the right tone. Started with this:

JRSC C30
Gruppe-S UEL header
HKS catless dual res fp
Greddy revolution RS catback

Which sounded great to me IMO (i dont mind the volume) but it drowned out the fabulous JRSC noises. So I ended up trying the stock catback, which was very quiet and pronounced the JRSC sounds more. I liked it but also missed the loudness at times so i had a catback made custom from a valved muffler. Now its like the best of both worlds, i can cruise around silently and open the valves up incrementally until they are fully open for full effect. Ended up custom wiring the valve switch to the "sport mode" button from an automatic traction control button set and swapped it with my manual set.

if anyone wants to see vids on this, check out my yt page in the signature. I've been thinking about doing a write up for the muffler, wiring, and results if there is interest as well.
