Hi peeps,
Have just returned to the world of 3rd Gen ownership after a 4 year lay off and had my new pride and joy dyno\'d a few days ago.
The current exhaust, whilsy blistfully quiet compared to the beast I had on my old RX, is unfortunately restricting the gas flow considerably from the single turbo setup and hence leaving me down on power.
Would anyone have any suggestions of the most "quiet" cat back system I could go for please?
Also, has anyone used an Apexi PS Revolution with active valve as this seems to be the best of both worlds. (I\'ve had several motorcycles with similar systems and they worked fine).
Greetings and thanks in advance! :wiggle
Q
What exhaus do you currently have on there? And what turbo/power are you running? Some of the quietest are the Racing Beat twin and dual pipe affairs, and the Re:Amemiya Dolphin tail.
My car, albeit on stock twins, Tested 90db static @ Castle Combe (4.5k, 1m from tailpipe at 45 degrees.)
That\'s stock twins, HKS frontpipe, Tiger silenced midpipe, and Racing Beat catback, running 362bhp :)
If if helps there\'s a racing beat catback on ebay at the moment (nothing to do with me) for either £40 or £60 if i remember correctly
The current exhaust is an unknown make with oval muffler and tip. Not standard but not free flowing enough. Am running a TO4R with 300bhp at the mo.
Have seen the Racing Beat exhausts as someone else suggested that they were quiet but with good flow, but am a little non-plussed at the look to be honest. If I\'m changing the thing I wouldn\'t mind going for something a little more agressive looking...
That being said, if there\'s no other option, it may have to be that route.
@ Ghost: The buy it now is £60 on that... Not bad at all...
Blitz Nur-Spec for the win.... :rolleyes:

Knew it was either 40 or 60, not a bad price if all is well with it
I think the problem is with the agressive looking exhausts you tend to get the agressive exhaust note to go with it :o
I\'ve a Kakimoto at the moment (Big box version - not the jap can style) and whilst it makes lovely noise on WOT i miss the sound of my old MR2\'s Nur Spec so am looking for something like that myself heh
If it helps i had a HKS Hyper (dont know if they do a RX7 exhaust mind) on my MR2 which had the big can look whilst being very quiet also
Blitz Nur-Spec FTW! lol

That\'s kind of the reason for the thread... I thought that there must be something that\'s a little bit of a compromise. :)

Had a quick look at it seems as though these are now what are called HKS Silent Hi Power exhausts.
"Certain applications are available in a Silent Hi-Power version which has an inner silencer built into the muffler." (Web blurb!)
They do one for the FD: 31019-AZ002. I wonder if anyone has had any experience with these?
We do a full stainless system that is as quiet as you could ever imagine. The system was designed for getting people out on track, so although is a little more expensive than your other exhausts will last a lifetime...can be repacked.
TonyC\'s car was so quiet you could hear the fuel pump over the exhaust on idle....that is a full bridgeport too! Once it opens up however.........little devils pop out from the rear riding flaming horses and swallowing passing children!
The Silent Hi Power on an FD is not what it claims to be!
I had one on my S14a (it\'s a good way to quieten down the horrible noice an SR20 makes :D). Turned up to view an FD that was also running a Silent Hi power, and nearly crapped a brick when it started - it was anything but silent!
I reckon it was probably as loud as the Nur spec I had on my FD when I got it!
Is your current one deffo a full cat back?
Just fitted exhaust cutout valves on mine and depending on ECU they could easily be made into a automated system.
Quotelittle devils pop out from the rear riding flaming horses and swallowing passing children!
Now if you\'d have said "swallowing women
AND children" I\'d have been very impressed! :D
I suppose I\'ll have a comparisson costs wise, if I end up with a few options, and then take it from there.

Ah! Bugg3r! :( Had a Nur Spec on my old FD and it used to leave me as a hollowed out shell of a man after a few hours driving!

Having just parted ways with cash for the FD I\'m not so sure I could stretch to having someone put together a bespoke valved system at the mo. Though on an F-CON I\'d assume it\'s possible.
Would that not be something like what the Apexi PS Revolution purports to be doing though, but off the shelf?
Nur Spec FTMFW lol
Loud as fduk
