: Exhaust Help! Please I can't Decide!
saulbyu 04-25-2008, 04:00 PM Please Help!!!! :confused:
I can’t decide on what exhaust I want to buy for my Evo X. I’m torn between three exhausts at this point:
Bushur Racing’s Dual Exhaust: $850.00 Shipped
ETS Dual Exhaust: $995.00
5zigen’s ProRacer ZZ Dual Exhaust: $1,129.99
Greedy Turbo Ti-C Single Exhaust: $750.00
HKS Legamax Axle Back Exhaust: $777.50
I really like the look of the dual exhausts, but I don’t mind the greedy exhaust at all. The problem is that I like how they duals look, but I love how the Greedy exhaust sounds! They are all about the same diameter and made by great companies. I have a friend that all he uses on his IX Bushur and he loves it, but I know Greedy has a lot of name behind them. Please help, I’ve been pulling my hair for days trying to figure this out. I’ve heard them all and I like them all. The only thing I don’t like about the 5zigen is the stock design and that the pipe is 2 1/5 “ instead of 3” or even 3.15” from Greedy.
Money is not really the issue. The biggest thing for me is the sound. My wife isn’t very happy I spent 37K on a car (“stupid racy car” as she calls it), so the last thing I want to do is get her even more mad because the car sounds like a Honda with a fart-can.
Which exhaust would you guys buy/recommend?
civicsi_X 04-25-2008, 04:36 PM ^ My Q is where can i buy Greddy exhaust!
EVOLUTIONARY 04-25-2008, 04:39 PM Based on looks I would say Bushur or 5Zigen. I have no idea what they sound like though. I'll be interested to see what you go with as I don't want a loud exhaust myself.
saulbyu 04-25-2008, 05:07 PM You're really not helping civicsi_X. Now there's one more exhasut I have to worry about :freak:. I know HKS makes some kick-ass products.
Talon_66 04-25-2008, 07:40 PM I have the ETS Dual exhaust, Its loud, and does drone at highway speed.
Tvall13 04-25-2008, 08:14 PM I'd say you probably want a cat-back instead of the axle-back might as well spend the extra money to get better gains.

Thanks Talon_66 that's exactly what I was looking for. :thumbup:
If anyone else has an opinion on any of the above mentioned exhaust please share.

lol sorry to hijack your thread but i am on the same boat and that greddy Ti is not bad for 615:thumbup:

I Agree. But on the lancershop website it says
"GReddy Ti-C Axle Back Exhaust: EVO X"
and it's $615.00. The one I saw on the Greedy website says
"GReddy Racing Ti-C Cat-back Exhausts"
http://www.greddy.com/products/display/?Category=exhaust&SubCategory=75
and they have it listed for $750.00. I wonder if it's the same thing?
ak47m203 04-25-2008, 10:46 PM Bushur Racing’s Dual Exhaust is my choice.
Dosagex 04-26-2008, 12:53 AM Bushur Racing’s Dual Exhaust is my choice.
I wonder how loud it is with a paired up resonated testpipe. I also love the bushur exhaust.
PDXEvo 04-26-2008, 12:57 AM I got a peek at the Perrin exhaust system today. It sounds really nice and subtle. You might want to wait and see what that final product looks like first.

Ooh. I like nice sounding AND subtle...
It really is a difficult decision. I know personally that I am sticking with dual exhaust, and trying to get something on the "subtle" side. I like the Buschur exhaust look and sound, but was worried when they posted that it was quite loud with a test pipe. I'm not sure! Fortunately, I don't pick up my car for another month, so I plenty of time to ... ponder....
Good luck with your decision. My vote: stick with the duals, even if the GReddy sounds good.
EDIT: Just read a positive review on the ProRacerZZs you mentioned. They look pretty good too!

The only problem is that I'm an impulse buyer :godance: even if I don't make a good choice. I'm very eager to have my evo sound like the car I know it is. Do you know how long before they release any details on the Perrin exhaust? Sound or Video?
Can you tell us if it's a single or a dual?
logonzojls 04-26-2008, 02:13 AM +1, I really like cobbs quads too but who know when that will be out.
dcasandman 04-26-2008, 02:53 AM My question is how did you talk your wife into this stupid racey car. My wife calls it a fast and the furious car lol. Still havent talked her into it.

I saw that too, but WTF is a PS? 1PS=1HP? I would realy like to hear it.
aznxkaiser 04-26-2008, 07:07 AM Are there any Turbo back exhausts coming out for the X yet?
darmawaa 04-26-2008, 08:05 AM Yes, Tom @ ETS can make you down pipe and 100cell cat. No CEL, and will pass SMOG test.
Talon_66 04-26-2008, 12:02 PM I can post up a soundclip of my ETS Dual if anyone wants.
I will be adding a resonated Testpipe and Downpipe, as soon as they arrive.
Ignore the crooked tip. I fixed it.

Robevo 04-26-2008, 05:08 PM any pictures about the HKS?
Kwiq Niss 04-26-2008, 08:18 PM My wife was not for this purchase either, but I let her get a 2008 BMW, and the next day, I had my EVO. So, to talk the wife into a EVO, it costs a Beamer too
saulbyu 05-01-2008, 01:35 AM I ordered the HKS dual exahust this morning. I'll have it tomorrow morning and installed in the afternoon.
I'll post detailed pictures and try to get some before and after sound. :godance:
Mzderrick04 05-01-2008, 09:56 PM I purchased the Buschur cat back yesterday, as well as the intake and upper ic pipe. Jared said I should have them next week. I am so EXCITED!!!!!
MrBonus 05-02-2008, 01:20 PM I just ordered the Greddy Ti-C exhaust.

love9sick 05-08-2008, 07:14 PM The Buschur exhaust is not loud at all. it is the loudest between 1-3k rpm with a nice low deep growl.
