Mr. Sinister Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 HKS Silent Power. I personally wouldn't get a catback w/o a resonator. Get a set of Prodrive mufflers if you can find a set. Best sounding IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05pearl Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Here is a vid of the SPT and HKS. If I had to do it all over again, it would come down to these two because neither is too loud and both sound classy.

Catalyst Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Duel fart cans FTL. I do like the sound though, just can't get past those grapefruit launchers. Personally, I think Borla was the best sound. Nice clean rumble and sounds mean when you stomp on it. None of that crackling backfiring ricey crap. [ame= ] [/ame] "This is an adventure."

05pearl Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The SPT cans do not look like fart cans at at all. I think the Borla sounds nice too, but I like it quieter than that. Prodrive cans sound pretty good on a stock car, but are too loud on a full open exhaust. I totally agree with you about not wanting ricey, loud, backfiring sound. Personally, the more I think about it, I would go with the SPT. I heard it in person and was so jealous that I did not get it in the first place. I have seriously considered scrapping my cobb dp, mid, y and stockers for the SPT, but dont want to invest another grand on top of what I already spent on my exhaust.

johnAWD Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I've got a Perrin on my car, and the way my car is configured it's just too loud. I've heard great things about the HKS silent power, but never heard one on an LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvethesnow Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 spt and hks both sound perfect if you dont like the grapefruit shooter go with spt. cant go wrong with a subaru approved exhaust History does not entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid People sleep peacefully at night cause rough men stand ready to do violence on there behalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Invidia downpipe, Perrin resonated midpipe, stock cans. Quiet, but it has a bit more rumble. Looks completely stock because the mufflers are stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05lgt5spd Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have borla, im probably going to go a bit louder, but i have a feeling i will regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 honest question what bothers people about louder exhaust? I have yet to have any issues with a car being too loud. I cant even hear the exhaust usually with the radio on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05pearl Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 ^^ I don't know. I hated my cobb cans. They droned all day long. Highways especially used to drive me nuts. I like the sound of a classic sports car from the factory. If it were a track car, I could see where loud would not be an issue. Another reason is; what I love most about my LGT is that it's a super sleeper. No one knows what the hell happend until it's over . With a loud exhuast, you lose that element of surprise.

Mr. Sinister Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 honest question what bothers people about louder exhaust? I have yet to have any issues with a car being too loud. I cant even hear the exhaust usually with the radio on... For a weekend car, nothing. It can project the wrong image for a daily driven car though; I'm just too old for that. If I look out of place wearing a suit standing next to my car, then the car's not the right one for me at this point in my life. I can't imagine giving a client or employer a ride in a car that looks/sounds like something from The Fast and the Furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 understandable, was curious. I will probably be taking clients in my car in the near future. as of right now it isnt too loud we will see what happens after i go catless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsulo Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I've got the SPT CBE and have been very happy with it. Installation of an Invidia catted DP made it a lot louder when on the gas -- Almost too loud. But either I'm adjusting or the DP is getting quieter -- I'm not really sure. Maybe a little bit of both. I'll be installing a Perrin ELH in the near future and I'm thinking that it may quiet down the exhaust even more as the sound should be less lumpy. If it's not I'll get a custom mid pipe built with a resonator in it. I agree with a lot of the posts about having a sleeper/being able to take clients out for lunch. It's gotta be something classy and I can't have my clients think they are over paying me! LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had my '72 chevelle, I hated having to listen to all the ricers thinking they have a fast car because their exhaust was loud. There comes a point when it's just not classy on a LGT. Rumble is one thing, but being loud just for the sake of sheer decibels is another. "This is an adventure." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 yeah im thankful the UEL headers give that burble which sets it apart from the rest of the rice out there. my greddy is pretty deep doesnt sound much like rice. ive had multiple people ask if it has an 8 cyl in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my greddy for 434 shipped. I am the 3rd owner of it but one was AZ the other DC so it had minimal salt time and was in great condition for a 700 dollar savings from new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
