How much will each component changes the tone of an exhaust tone. Up & DP ? Resonator ? Axleback ? Approximates are ok
Up and DP = large increase in overall sound level, not much change in tone Resonator = Hello highway drone...not much change in tone Axleback = As much a change in tone as you desire. The closest to stock, while giving a decent increase in volume seems to be the prodrive, while the TXS RFL and the blitz nur spec can make the car crazy loud, with the blitz sounding a little meaner/better in my opinion...
Im thinking of getting the Megan DP (from the pic it looks like its both a DP and MP) It has the bellmouth but not divorced but the pric e is right (catless)
after having both the blitz nur spec and the TXS RFL, i would have to dissagree with the blitz sounding meaner and definatly not louder, but that may also be bc i have a non resonated 3in straight through TXS. The blitz was loud and sounded pretty mean, but it was nothing near as loud as the txs setup that i have now, alex and several others have heard it, its almost tooo loud. hahah, back to the thread though, get a resonated exhaust or you will regret it...droooooooooooooooooooooooooooone............
The downpipe will give you an audible difference. The upipe really gives the engine bay more of a noise increase. Catback is where your sound is coming from. This piping and the muffler design ultimately control the final tone coming out.
Since I bought your Blitz, I guess it is subjective, but the TXS sounds more buzzy to me, though I don't think I have heard one with the straight pipe...
apex has always given me a good clean sound on all my cars..240{both with ka and sr motor},300zx turbo{88},86 bmw 325ix,and 97 pontiac gtp. so with turbo,supercharged and na i have had great sound,no buz,and good looks and i couldnt be happier with the n1 on my wrx
if you don't buy new gaskets you'll have a lot of new sounds...lol I personally still think the scoobysport sounds the best. As far as each pipe, the mid and down made the most difference to me. I did those first and then added the up pipe. didn't notice too much volume increase when I added the u/p.
i have cat greddy evo II and it sounds great wonder how it will sound after catted down and up pipe .. i'm guessing it will be very deep and not much loud.. so i might shake ground when revving.. thats a guess.. we will find out in a week
realy ..as u can see to how many diff exhausts that have just been named its realy up to u and what u like..
