Couldn't find it anywhere here on the site, nor on AMS's website.

Anybody have a decibel reading for AMS's full turboback (either test pipe, or high flow cat) on an IX?

Just got a car with it installed, it's loud, but gonna head to my first track where i've had a noise limit, and pretty sure it's not gonna pass.

Thanks.

 

I've got the AMS turboback for the IX..at idle its pretty quite and it'll have you thinking its not that loud, but once you open it up around 4k...Its LOUD!

 

i drove 2500 miles across the country after pickin the car up.... most at 83-85 mph....which in the IX is 4 grand! stopped and bought earplugs after the first hr and wore them all the way back. i just bought a db meter to see, but will have to wait til it gets here..

 

wow that is pretty bad lol

i have a RS and i have a JunB.L catback and its not that loud well not loud enough to wear earplugs lol

 

Dont get me wrong though, it may be stupid loud..but it sonds frkn badass!

 

If you are worried about sound I would get the resonated test pipe in the exhaust. I have one on my car, it sounds good.

 

resonated test pipe in the exhaust? confused.

 

They offer a resonated test pipe..its an option when you purchase the exhaust, or you can just buy it from on their sight..Its not just a straight through pipe..

ehh, nah, i'd like to at least stay a bit legal on the streets. I pulled a straight test pipe, and put a high-flo cat on it to drive it back. It helped, but it's nowhere near the level i'd like i guess. I'd had a borla system on my old evos, and liked it, wasn't super loud all the time.

Just dreading finding a local muffler shop to trust fitting up / splicing in a replacement.

 

Yeah i get yah..shouldn't be to hard though if you find a good shop. GL!

 

Eric@Ams had the Ams catback with the Ams Resonated Test Pipe and it was quite.

 

quiet? like how quiet? any actual readings?

 

Eric let me rev it up and it was quiet but not as quiet as stock. I would get it if I had the Ams tbe.

 

Mine rang in at 96 decibles.

 

with what? full turboback, no cat? stock turbo? etc. thanks!
