I am looking for the quietest exhaust system available for the Evo. Mostly concerned with freeway cruising noise/drone. I do want to do turbo back, however. Any input would be great. Thanks!

You know what would be a killer product?

one with the noise supression of the AVO that was carb certified and looked very much like the stock exhuast. Then I could go fast with out police harrassment

Find a system that uses resonators. This will reduce a lot of noise.

I suggest you attend the next meet and listen to several peoples exhaust before you make your purchase.

I have HKS and am local to Ontario, if you want to hear mine.

Cheers,

Jason

AVO , and it looks almost stock ... great exhaust if you want quietness and also you are able to get gains out of it . Since it has been dyno proven....

I am guessing u want something street style. RMR exhaust, not 2 loud and the deep tone is just right. Cops don't even hesitate looking, they know it got a deep bass but they don't bother me and I live in the worst place to have an exhaust. HP is pruven 2 so I go for that... other suggestion would be B&B and perrin but I prefer RMR.

hahaha you could get the works exhale, if you think a 747 is quiet.

RMR catback and RMR dp i heard sounds stock.... probably a tad bit louder with the DP... but most definetely RMR has good performance.... if you hit the throttle i heard there's a huge sound difference..

The Borla cat back is just a tad louder than stock. when I installed it I almost didnt notice a diffrence. but I love the tip on it.... My cat, and Downpipe are en route curious to see how much louder it gets?

The B&B system is pretty quite, just a bit louder than stock but with the gains. Here's a sound clip.

I had the same concerns and took a risk ang got the Buschur muffler delete.
It is so freaking quiet I can't see why Mitsu even bothered with a muffler in the first place.

FYI, I'm SLO town native. Lots of *killer* back roads to drive up there... My record from Paso to Heritate Ranch gate(Lake Nacimeinto) is 8 minutes.
I cant wait to take the Evo on the sweeper after you turn onto lake road. If you haven't driven it. Check it out.

Get an exhaust that look close to stock.
My RMR is pretty quiet, but the cop still pulled me, and said my exhaust looks modified. :ghey:

It's been said a couple of times so far but the AVO is probably the quitest cat-back on the market. There is NO difference over stock with just the cat-back, and not much louder than that when in full turbo-back form (with a stock cat of course). The other cool thing about the AVO is that the can is very recessed, not up close to the bumper. Meaning it's really rather difficult to see polished can from behind the car, it really does look like it's almost stock. I don't have one on my car, but if I didn't have an exhaust already and I had the money I'd go with the AVO hands down!

I agree, AVO is really quiet, just like stock. I've seen and heard it at brainstorm.

DR Evo is running a prototype DSS (diamond star specialties-- big on the old dsm scene) exhaust right now. It's going to be completed soon, and it sounds like stock and will look like stock. Just a tad deeper, but NO DRONE whatsoever, and like i said, sound is quiet (his wifey didn't even complain!!!). As for the power-- they'll have to do a before and after dyno, but the car pulls HARD all the way to redline (i used to feel a dead spot a little above 5 grand) and the power is always there. We'll have to have a little run soon and see if he can pull me, but the car truly feels stronger than my Z (intake, exhaust, hf cats, intake plenum, and pulleys), whereas before my car had quite a bit more top end.

btw, it's a turboback exhaust he has on right now.

Have you 'heard' the WORKS Stealthworks Exhaust? Probably not because the thing is so darn quiet- even with completely straight pipe upstream.
The WORKS Stealthworks Exhaust is a stock EVO 8 muffler that we cut open, modify internally to free up flow, weld back up, and repaint flat black. 8) Presto! You have an exhaust that looks like stock, fits like stock, sounds like stock, and performs like +10 bhp (not as much as with the Exhale AB) but the sound to performance ratio is well worth it if that's your priority.
We can modify your existing exhaust, do it on a core exchange basis, or provide you with a brand new WORKS modified OEM unit. The cost is going to be in the neighborhood of $170-$200 range.
We haven't officially released the product yet but we are far enough along where we can start taking pre-orders. The more pre-orders we take, the quicker we'll get it to market.
Please call us if have any questions. :?:

FYI, CARB legal doesn't apply to anything after the Cat.

Edit: In other words, you don't need to have a carb approved cat-back pipe for it to be smog legal.

Anybody have anyexperience with the GramLights Dragon 57 exhaust? Its 2.75in. so it shouldn't be too loud. The only place I've found it is MackinIndustries and they haven't replyed to my email in over a week.

by the way, how is it a full 3" exhaust? does it use a cat-delete pipe or does it use a highflow cat?

the AVO tappers to 2.5 , i have pics of it :wink: where it meets the cat (since you are able to run with stock cat ) and after cat .
3" systems are great !! from DP to high flow cat 3" to rear section to muffler .
