I have searched and read the exhuast thread and I cannot seem to find a definitive answer on wether the JIC catback exhaust is loud or almost as quiet as stock. I am pretty sure that the Full titanium catback is really loud, but i was wondering about the stainless steel catback with titanium tip. Can someone fill me in?


Just a note:
I have heard the greddy titanium catback and the RMR turboback in person and the greddy is still noticeably louder!

the spartan is quiet..the other one isn't.

We have an exhaust thread but it lacks sounds clips.

Does anyone have sound clips of the JIC exhaust?

I have the jic tiatanium tip with stainless cat back, along with the buschur downpipe and cat delete pipe, also i cut of my resonator and added another 3" pipe, it sounds like somehitng out of a movie!!! everyoine says it the loudest most intimidating sound ever........cat back alone not that loud....nice tone..

Go to vivd racing's site. They have a sound clip of the JIC catback on an evo, and from what i can remember, it's pretty damn loud.

I think leif is correct. At least I know he is WRT the Spartan because that is the one I have (Full Ti Spartan DE Type 2 to be exact). The Spartan DE Type 2 has an oval canister and comes with a resonator and is a bit quiter than stock. The other one (505) has a smaller cylindrical canister and I believe is louder, though I understand that it comes with a removable silencer. I have heard reports of people getting them with and without resonators. Not sure what the story is there...

EDIT: Also, the 505 has an angled exit, the Spartan has a straight exit.

is the JIC 505 stainless steel with titanium muffler louder or the HKS carbon ti? Both catback btw.

I'm not sure man, my carbon-ti should be here tuesday and i should have it installed by wednesday. so check back on wednesday night because i'll try to give you a report

i have the jic ti exhuast and i dont think its that loud. i love that exhuast!!!!

I have the full Ti Cat back - It is not loud at all. In fact I was a little bummed by it's super quiet operation....However, that is with stock DP and stock cat......

Titanium is NOT llouder than steel....I have owned 5 different exhausts....2 of them Ti - the design/shape/materials of the muffler and it's ability to baffle are much more of a factor on sound level.
