Greddy SE and love it just a tiny tiny bit louder than stock. Waiting on installing a HFC to liven things up

I dont think Greddy makes the spectrum elite any more. I spent a lot of time trying to get one back in april-may and everyone kept saying it was too expensive for them to produce, unless they recently started making them again.

They don't make the titanium burned tip look anymore, just polished.

Thanks again sun_ice4. Pics look great. I think I've made a decision =)

I have 2 with polished tips in stock. We don't usually sell them. Greddy did have a recent price increase so most low prices you see online are old and chances are if you order it the price will jump up after the fact. They just did the price increase last month.

Would have gone AMS, but they don't offer the dual exhaust at the moment, and I plain just don't like Tomei. My friend has one on his and it's too loud.

OP is comparing two very similar exhausts but also very different in other ways.

The tips are obviously nicer looking on the Greddy SE exhaust. The SE has a very mellow sound at idle and low rpm sound. It will provide a noticeable midrange growl and power increase, but the sound quiets down in higher rpms. Also the SE is not a full 3" piping catback, but its close.

The ETS is beautifully fabricated. Its a full 3" and it is also quiet. Its a tad bit louder than the Greddy SE, but certainly not obnoxious by any means. These are very similar exhausts, but the ETS gets the nod since it will make more power, a full 3 inches and is quiet. The mild steel flanges isn't a worry...just paint the flanges and you'll be fine.

Same here


But, just figure that exhaust tips are super easy to change out for another tip.

The ETS tips have grown on me. Super subtle looking, exactly what I am looking for.

To be honest, I don't really trust Greddy products that aren't manufactured by Trust (I think I had the last exhaust to be manufactured by Trust on the old Galant).

My choice is no help to the OP (sorry to be off-topic) , however I was *really* impressed with the quality of my GReddy Ti-C. Fitment was perfect, sound was incredible, no droning even when I added the test-pipe. All the flanges and welds were flawless.

In the past 10 years I've had so many custom made exhausts for different cars and trucks by muffler shops and used everything from ebay mufflers to flowmasters and this bolt-on Ti-C was by far the best exhaust experience I've had with seeing fitment and quality.

No problem at all. I have heard great things about the quality of Greddy's single exhaust. The only issue with me is that there are very little people out there with the Greddy dual exhaust for me to base a choice off of.

I've already made my decision anyways. ETS it is for me. I really cannot wait to hear her growl :P

I'm with ya, going dual changes things. ETS for dual IMO is a great choice. Although I laugh at a thread from about 2 months ago where a guy wanted a loud exhaust and bought the V2 Extreme and a TP and then posted up complaining it was too loud. That was a good chuckle at the beginning of the summer

When you get yours install, post up and post a youtube video
