Gintani Sport with Quad Resonated X pipe compared to Gintani Race with primary cat delete

klammer · 08-18-2013, 07:14 PM

I can't SEE the sound?!?!? Now that would be setup I'd buy!

One of my favorite threads!

DaveDee · 12-20-2013, 08:03 PM

Just had to update to the valved Race, sounds much better in real life

How about this combo: Akrapovic Slip-On with MRF Catless X Pipe

Thanks! Unfortunately it does drone at 2-3k rpm, and it can get annoying on long trips. However on shorter trips the drone doesn't bother me at all. Totally worth it for me.

Damit. My previous SS Race + modded x-pipe droned a lot at 1900-2000RPM
which the DCT seem to love to stay in

And highway/motorway cruise is at 2900rpm.

I drive mine every day and it did bother me the drone.
Can't have the Race then, maybe eisenmann sport or m performance?

dfjaws · 12-22-2013, 09:48 PM

Here's a couple videos of a primary cat delete (Turner test pipes) and an OEM mod rear section. I think it sounds amazing but maybe a little loud for a daily. Currently I have the Turner test pipes and a Megan rear section.

(I know the ground cables are dangling. My buddy and I just put this exhaust on for a little bit to see what his OEM mod muffler would sound like with my primary cat delete)

MFL · 12-23-2013, 10:40 AM

This is a friends OEM Exhaust Modded. Stock mid section.

Not bad for like a $300 investment. It's basically been converted to straight pipes. Sure an Akra or Eisenmann setup sounds better...but does it sound 10 times better?

Without having listened to most already posted, here are a couple of my faves:

FrozenM3nace · 12-25-2013, 03:58 PM

My favorite, catless Eisenmann Race. Not mine, but this video convinced me to go this route:

Had to take it down, I'm arguing with my insurance about something really silly. But the first video sounds pretty much the same as my car.

the_road_less_traveled · 12-27-2013, 08:37 AM

Not sure that makes this setup sound so aggressive, but it sounds pretty mean:

Although I like many of the different exhausts, the above is just perfect to my ears and fits what I think our cars should have sounded like from the factory.

I love this combo.
