Ok I have a 11 gsr with the following mods.
Ets intake and upper - lower ic pipes
Cobb down pipe and high flow cat
Cobb ac port and Ivey tune.

I'm a little stuck here, I installed a high flow cat cause I wanted extra power but left the stock exhaust cause don't want loud noise and at mean time as you see I went with top name brands.
I would love to replace my high flow cat with a test pipe and exhaust but there all loud. Yes Buschur has quiet exhaust and ETS has quiet version but I heard them, there still loud.
Checked Ultimate Racing website and they have 3 test pipes to choose from:

1 regular test pipe as everyone else's
2 test pipe with resonator
3 test pipe with mini muffler

Question: I definitely don't want the standard test pipe cause its loud, so which of these other two would you get. Definitely want the highest flow from these two but again want the quiter one.
Then they have the exhaust with the same options: you can add a resonator or mini muffler or both? I don't want both due to I think I would loose a little power with resonator and mini muffler, so only one of them.

So do I get the test pipe with resonator and exhaust with resonator
Or
Test pipe with mini muffler and exhaust with the extra mini muffler

Or do you have any other ideas

Just read somewhere and the guy has the exhaust with resonator and saying if you get it, get it with both resonator and mini muffler so it is quieter ?
Help me out here since 90% of you guys have aftermarket exhaust systems.

 

No one, nothing

 

I'm interested in how much difference there is between the mini muffler and test pipe in terms of noise as well. Really more curious about how much they eliminate drone. Has anyone heard the different options side by side?

 

Anyone with ultimate set up ?
I really would love to go with ETS since I been using there products all the time even on my other Evo, but now I got to think of my family.
I need it to be quiet, not stock quiet but, example: I had a 08 wrx with the SPT exhaust which was a dealer product and it was amazing just slightly louder then stock.
Anyway someone help me out

 

You said in your original post that the ETS V2 Quiet was still too loud for you. There is your answer. Probably one of the quietest and best made cat backs on the market.

If that's too loud, stick to the stock exhaust.

If you want quiet, you will definitely need to remove your downpipe with an aftermarket exhaust.

 

Get the ETS quiet and UR mini-muffler. Quietest option out there based on flow but still being quiet. You'll have a car that doesn't annoy the **** outta you like my single exit does

 

Maybe your right, gona think about it,
Thanks

 

I have the UR cat-back with twin outlets. I'm running their mini muffler on the middle pipe section, stock down pipe, no intake system yet. The sound at idle is good, not loud at all. Under throttle, the sound is very deep and loud enough without being obnoxious. Under part throttle, as in on the highway it does tend to drone a bit in the cabin but more likely because these cars in tin boxes and the trunk acts like a sound chamber. I'm in the process of sound deadening the car and so far with the trunk done, it's perfect - good, deep sound when you want it and never too loud to attract the cops, etc. I'm glad I took Johnson's advice (owner of UR) and went with his mini muffler instead of the resonator.

 

Have you tried e-mailing or calling UR?

 

Just make sure to put some exhaust paint on the flanges of the UR, it has a tendency to rust. I personally dislike the mini muffler because of the quietness

 

what about turboxs? cobb quad tip? cobb exhaust? videos show that cobb quad is quiet inside...

 

ETS V2 quiet + ETS Test pipe , its very loud .. I have that combo and I am regretting it. Iwould not recommend it to anyone trying to keep a relative quiet setup that is a tad bit louder than stock.

I would also like to see what op ends up with as I might end up hacking up the test pipe to add a mini muffler , or HFC or something to turn it back to what it used to be.

The V2 quiet with the stock cat is awsome but the stock cat is pretty restrictive.

 

Yes no answer left vm will call them after New Years

 

Thanks I will

 

I would love the Cobb and love the quad tip, but heard from others that is loud ?
Anyone with Cobb set up
