best sounding exhaust system

[jekaio]

hey, i was wondering what all of you think is the best sounding exhaust system for a Ti, oviously aftermarket. im looking for a very noticeable exhaust, loud at all rpm ranges, seeing how there is no real hp gain on Ti's im all about sound, whats the loudest/quitest/overall best sounding exhaust

I think SuperSrint because it sounds nice and offers a full exhaust.

I've always liked Racing Dynamics' exhaust.
Nice throaty sound, low end rumble It is not overally loud.

LOUD. I think a Bosal, Stromburg or B&B is your bet.
You need to like a loud exhaust if you get one of those.

I know people that have removed them because they were too loud. Everyone has a different opinion.

You really need to hear them for yourself.
And listen to them on a 4 cylinder.

i looove my stromung. loud on acceleration, however its surprisingly calm cruising. for me it's easy to live with. but still draws attention with some throttle. and it's all stainless, has a nice tip, and was under 500 bucks. before that i had an ansa, if i were you, dont go there. i had a couple posts about it here. i liked it at first, but after a few months a weld broke and i didnt bother having it fixed. i have honestly never heard a supersprint, but i have only read good things about them.

in conclusion, for my money, it's the stromung.

SuperSprint all the way - I love mine. I have had 3 different exhaust systems on my ti and SuperSprint it by far the best - Performance and Sound.

Remus is very nice too. Very deep sound once warmed up.

Got the Supersprint on yesterday evening. Going from having no muffler at all to having one is a big difference. The SS is much quieter than I expected...I couldn't even tell that the car was running when I first started it up. Not loud enough...so I removed the catalytic converter and replaced it with a regular pipe. Made it slightly louder and a bit less restricted. Still very quiet, however. I can feel a bit of a difference between it and the OE exhaust. And there's a real difference between this and not having a muffler at all....no vibration, no raspy sound, sweet chrome rectangular tip. Still, it sounds better than factory...but maybe not $500 worth of better....may have to look into a racing resonator or something...kick it up a notch.

I've had the Stromung on for about 4 months, very happy. Great sound and perfect install, but no performance gains.

Well, I think the SS exhaust would sound better with more gas flowing through it...the 1.8 (1.9) just might not have the horses to make it roar. However...a 2.8 or a 3.2 would sound nice.

I'm using a modified Borla w 2.5" piping. Great sound throughout the whole rpm range. It has a relatively deep (for a 4-banger) growl to it. I had to cut the rear diffuser a bit for the dual tips, but they add to the aggressiveness of the look.

[marcus2116]

the supersprint needs a while to wear in at least mine did. Now i have borla and its a well done cat back. My supersprint rusted through on the flange.

I got a supersprint and it kicks ass. I guess its all about preference. But I dont see how it can be louder on one ti thatn the other tho...

I'm on my 2nd Supersprint one piece cat-back. The first one lasted 6 years. Rusted out on the rear muffler. I think I remember a scratch into the hi-temp paint on the rear muffler when I recieved it. I think this is the spot it rusted at. The second one I installed last summer had some scratches too and touched them up with hi-temp header paint, hopefully this will prevent the premature rusting. I really like the sound of the Supersprint, real throaty and not too loud. Can be fairly loud when you get on it. For my taste, the sound is perfect. Did notice better throttle response around the 3500-4000 rpm range on up.
