What's the Quietest Exhaust on the market???

I'm looking to upgrade my OE exhaust with a higher flow Aftermarket one to go along with a header a friend just gave me.

Remember to put in a high flow cat.. Thats where most of the restriction is.


For a quiet exhaust.. I have no clue.

Some of the Brullen models are quiet..

The Tanabe Hyper Medalion is supposed to be really quiet.
Also the Mugen exhaust if you have the $$, and Greddy SP and PE, Apex'i World Sport , and the Integra Type R exhaust are all supposed to be somewhat quiet too.

Apexi WS??

If i'm not mistaken.. I think those are pretty loud! For sure not as bad as a dunk, but still loud.

APEXi WS is on the louder side. Integra Type-R mufflers look good and of course are more on the silent side. i put a Ractive muffler on my civic the other day and damn, its so deep yet rather quiet, no highway drone either....its perfect. and only cost me $95

I heard a few ractive's.. sounded good IMO..

The only thing is the quality of construction..

Toucan mufflers actually aren't that bad, I have sold quite a few of them and they have for the most part sounded good. for a good sounding exhaust your best bet is the greddys.

Kool, so it sounds like Greddy is the way to go then. It'll match my Greddy Headder too


Anyone have a WAV of what a Civic w/ a Gredy can sounds like?

I'm not saying Toucan Industries mufflers arent good.. Its just that when I examined one (compared to Apexi), the craftsmanship was definitely inferior.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you are considering Greddy, take a look at what Brullen and Remus offer.

Brullen has some amazing sounding catbacks.

I haven't heard the WS for myself. But someone who has one said it wasn't loud.

I have a GReddy PE and my exhaust is louder than most.
Haven't heard the Hyper Medallion, but I love Tanabe exhausts. The Racing Medallion, however, is loud as hell, and a very high tone. I love the way they look and perform, but I hate the way they sound.

My friend has a GReddy SP on her DelSol, and it's actually very quiet. It has a much deeper, throatier tone, but it's still quiet.

Any A'pex that you can equip with a silencier would also be a good way to go. without the silencer you'd think a pack of Harleys was on the way, but with them they're actually very quiet. Once again, just a more aggressive tone. Then take out the silencer at the track.

accordman I agree with you completely apexi is a much better looking and better crafted muffler. we have a N1 hanging next to a toucan muffler funny as hell. Welds on the apexi are so much cleaner. But you get what you pay for.

Ractive exhaust sounds pretty good to me, the only thing that makes them bad are their welds. Not as strong as a lot of other compaines. IMO the quietest exhaust would be either Tanabe or zigen with scilencers. That's about it.

I love my RM. Mine isn't really that loud though- it seems like others are a lot louder than mine.

I'v decided to go with an Integra Type-R muffler & adapt some sort of silencer to it.

A friend at work has one on his Civic without a silencer & it sounds nice & smooth, but still a little louder than I want.

I wanna trrrryy to get this thing as quiet as I can, without losing any performance.

out of the bunch, the dunk is close to the loudest.

Most cylinder shaped exhausts are loud.

K I do like the sound of ractive's mufflers, but....BUT.....They kinda suck from what I have heard. (Not trying to offend anyone) Kause their welds break apart easy and fast??? True or not?
Like i said, this is what I heard.

The only time I would ever put on a silencer is if I went on a road trip. Just to make it quieter because we all know going 120KMH in a civic it's reasonably loud espically with an aftermarket exhaust.
