Thinking on changing my FI exhaust
Thinking on changing my FI exhaust
I like this exhaust a lot but sometimes when I want to drive slow (55-65 mph) the droning inside the cabin is loud. Iám thinking putting back the stock exhaust to minimize sound and only changing the mufflers and the y connector.
The power made by the FI is great and it feels torquier.
I like impul mufflers but they are extremely expensive.
The tanabe setup looks good but only the japanese version has an oval tip.
What options do I have ??
Thank's to all

You will love it, really.
My wife misses the stock sound, especially when I first start the car in the garage every morning...wow.
There is a little drone, but the secret is to keep a light foot when cruising. Give the car any gas though and the exhaust comes to life.

I custom installed Magnaflow 14225 mufflers out back & I love them.
It's a much deeper & richer tone, w/o drone of any kind.
IMO this what the OEM sport should have sounded like.
I also stayed with oval tips to keep it looking close to OE.

However, sound is subjective and I understand that some people will notice and tolerate more then others.
I have noticed on the sedan with HFC's (only on the automatics) a drone. Now for me it wasn't something that was unbearable but to next guy it might be!

Well....let me reitirate on that....i didnt notice any low end loss....but i had a definite increase in mid and top end power as well as added sound. The car just felt like a rocket when it hit that 1-2 shift and even on the 2-3 shift from a stop.
