Quiet Exhaust

I am looking to do a full exhaust within the next few months, but I first wanted to ask you guys if you knew of a 'quiet' system. I want to get performance gains, but dont want to draw more attention to my car OR wake up the neighbors. (I live in an apartment complex) It can sound a little louder than stock, but 'quiet' in comparison to many of ones out there.

What would you guys recommend?

Greddy Evo2 is the quietest catback. I just took mine off because I thought it was TOO quiet.

Want to sell it? And when you say TOO quiet, is it quieter than stock?

I went with Apexi WS exhaust. I think it is rated at 94 decibels.

My Greddy Ti-C Comp was really loud, so I got rid of it and picked up the ARC. Quiet, not heavy at all, good gains.... a little pricey though.

well for a basicly stock engine id say cobb is the quietest exhaust and it looks very similar to stock but with it still having the full 3'' internal diamiter so you will still get gains from it, but if you plan on getting cams later on no matter what exhaust you get its gonna get loud

Down the road who knows what will happen, but for the next several months, Im probably just looking into exhaust, some tuning, gauges, etc. I've only had the car for a couple of months, so I am looking for future problems and learning before I get too aggressive.

So it sounds like I hsould look into a COBB?

PS- Silver9MR, I am from Medfield... many evos by you?

Sounds like people are just naming every exhaust instead of offering the quietest..

I have the HKS HiPower / Megan Test Pipe, and it's not loud at all...looking to get something louder actually, want something with more rasp.

I lived in Medfield since I was about 12-13 through High School. I went to the University of Dayton and graduated in May and now live out here. Not living here forever, but I couldnt complain when I got a job right out of school. I'm sure I will be back sometime this summer.

Haha, I agree. I feel like you guys know what I mean... I want something nice, good gains, but not going to shake pictures off the wall or be obnoxious.
