I know there was already a thread about this but I have a slightly different question so I made a thread =).

Anyways first I want the exhaust to sound deep not like a civic or a typical "ricey" car, also I dont want it to drone out on the highway or something to where you cant even tell I have an aftermarket exhaust and lastly ofcourse performance increase. Below are the exhausts I was considering (if there is one I dont mention below that is better for what I want...please feel free to link me :bowlol:)

EDIT: Also I do want it to be emissions legal, seeing as I drive it to work =)

1. ETS exhaust
2. Greedy
3. Buschur
4. Perrin ( I havent found a link to actually buy this exhaust yet though)

any help would be awesome guys, I am alittle new to the aftermarket world with the evo x just so we are on the same page when discussing things.

ETS and Greddy are loud so you can probably cross those off.

Buschur and HKS are the two I've heard that sound the deepest/quietest. If you were to buy today I would recommend one of these two.

are the ETS and Greedy emissions legal? I am assuming yes b/c they are catbacks if im not mistaken, but I just want to be sure =)

I have the buschur and it is amazing. I am trying to get some photos and vids up.

The Buschur Site shows an increase of 16hp overstock that nice. How loud is this Love9sick, and how was fit and finish of their product? Was there any problems with install such as modifications to get it to fit? Im really wanting something that is not louder than stock system maybe just alot deeper sound.
Also how was installing the intercooler piping. Is that something a car stupid person could do???

try and get those vids up =), I would like to hear it. Is your exhaust quiet on the highway? Or does it sound like you have an exhaust even in highway coniditions

You guys can check out YouTube. Just search for evo x buschur exhaust. IMO it sounds great and not too loud. They claim it's no louder than stock, just a lot deeper.

Just listened to the exhaust on Youtube. It sounds pretty quiet at speed. I sounds really good at idle. Sounds much better than stock IMO, and if actually gains 16hp that is sweet. Just from Buschur site 10hp intake, 10hp intercooler pipes, and 16hp exhaust. Thats a pretty cheap 36hp safe bump in hp. With a nice tune to go with it you would be up around 80hp for under 3k. Money well spent.

you should make a polls about this so you can see the numbers. for me Buschur... look at the videe from edmunds.

well I wanted to see some explanations as to why I should get a certain exhaust...buschur seems to be popular from this thread and other posts I have read. I will have to check out the video, I just want a nice deep exhaust that you can def hear and tell is there

I'll let you know how the Greddy sounds this weekend.

^awesome man

try and get a vid up if you can =) I would be very grateful.

Side note: are exhausts "hard" to install by yourself? I have never tried

No fitting problems, had to bend a metal heat shield under the car though. The sound at cruising speeds on the highway is almost unnoticeable. The low growl at lower rpms sounds really nice. It is a very throaty exhaust, very mature when it needs to be, quiet at hight speeds with less than 80% throttle but noticeable and deep when driving through 2-3k rpm. and most of all you can feel the gains. Looks great too. From the description of what kind of exhaust you said you want this is the one.

Side note: are exhausts "hard" to install by yourself? I have never tried
Nope, for the Buschur one all it took was a jack with two jack stands and a bit of time.

So the buschur has a deep sound in low RPMs and at high RPMs but its quiet when riding at a steady speed like on the highway?

For me for some reason the exhaust after a certain RPM when floored just makes a humming sound. I thought I might have a leak but I don't see any gas or fumes coming out of anywhere. Other than that yea, that is more or less right...the exhaust is pretty quiet when just driving a steady speed...the loudest in just cruising it gets is with all windows closed there is a slight hum.

I have ETS Catback w/ Ultimate Racing Testpipe (resonated) and downpipe.
Its DEEP and loud

Like loud when you put the pedal to the floor AND loud on the highway? Is it loud enough to where you could hear it over conversation or something in the car?

Test pipes always make it loud, if you are questioning this you probably shouldn't get one

I don't like loud exhausts myself, altho i do love the sound of catbacks.

I think my dad would kill me if i got a loud exhaust lol

Ive herd the HKS and Buschur Exhaust, so far. I don't know about true horse power gains, but my vote goes the the sound of the Buschur. The only thing that worries me about it is everyone knows HKS it top quality, but is the Buschar the same quality? I have no experience with either im new to evo tuning

I used to mod Evo 7's, but the X is a whole new breed!

Ive narrowed it down to 4 options now...

1. Buschur
2. ETS
3. ultimate racing
4. Greedy

cant decide

Meh do a lucky dip. Go for either the Bushur or the Greedy mate

I'm leaning towards getting:

ETS catback exhaust
ETS downpipe
ETS intake
ETS upper/lower IC pipe

Question I have is will the downpipe make the exhaust louder? Because I love the deep sound of the ETS exhaust but I want it to hold that deep sound when Im on the highway or when I rev it up

Buschur Exhaust and UICP. :godance: 16whp and 10tq :rock:

Awesome! Love the Buschur Exhuast! Your butt dyno feel the increase?

LOUD when you gun it. Still loud on the highway

Awesome! Love the Buschur Exhuast! Your butt dyno feel the increase?

I installed all three parts at once so hell yea I felt it like a mofo lol. Felt like at least 30whp more was moving my car forward. I need to dyno in the future after the MBC and boost gauge install or maybe tune once some better ones are out. :godance:

^nice job:thumbup: i like the looks!

How long was the installation time on these 3 parts?

You have video of exhaust sound?

Here's my x with the Greddy Ti-C.

I'm trying to get a video going but my Camera is giving me some problems. Me and a friend installed it all in about 3-4 hours but we were doing other shit like moving cars and stuff during the process and also just taking our time. It isn't a long installation really. The thing that gave us the most problem was the coupler on the intercooler with the UICP. Damn thing is hard to reach the bolts if you don't remove the front bumper. It was all done pretty much with manual tools and not power/compressor tools.

well I wanted to see some explanations as to why I should get a certain exhaust...buschur seems to be popular from this thread and other posts I have read. I will have to check out the video, I just want a nice deep exhaust that you can def hear and tell is there

you know what there will be no regrets whatever to choose. some guys did a custom exhaust from local shops @ $600 and still no regrets. still go Bushur. with polls they still post comments but atleast you can see some numbers.l

Ive listen to almost all the exhaust on Youtube now that this thread has talked about. I definitely think the buschur sounds the best. I do not have much experience with any of these companies seeing that Im new to tuning, but the buschur also looked very clean.
I really don't the bee hive sounding exhaust. I would say my second favorite sound was the HKS, and not one person has said a bad thing about HKS.

How fast is the car pulling like from a stop on a ramp going to highway?

How fast is the car pulling like from a stop on a ramp going to highway?

I don't know how to answer this question lol. Compared to what? It pulls significantly better compared to stock. :godance:

LOL! So what sort of power we talking about in ur motor love9sick?

love9sicks car felt like it had a little more suction to the seat. I know the car felt like it was in free fall he was going so fast. Never felt that on the stock EVO X.

Thanks for the witness account there AkumaMax. Does she roar?

ETS with resonator

Thanks for the witness account there AkumaMax. Does she roar?

The exhaust is very nice. When you need it to get people to turn heads just give it a little gas. As for cruising speed the tone is very minimal, Low humm. When he gets on it up top though it's not loud at all more like stock. Just going through the gears sounds mean!:thumbup:

Post a sound clip! I was debating on the greedy exhaust but I havent heard one in action yet, like idle, freeway and high RPMs

Hey dcasandman does your exhaust sound similar to this? Seen it on youtube and it has that WRX tone somewhat. Also are you going to post up a video with idles, revs, drive-bys and inside cabin noise anytime soon?

I dont have any after market stuff on mine yet just picked it up tuesday, so im just listening to youtube also looking for the best sound, quality, and hp gain all in one.

This is the one with the silencer in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZatSvq5gms

This is the one without the silencer, the banging noise you after I start up the car is not the car. The neighbors are getting their roof redone and the roofer's making all that racket.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Iw8-17cG0

Thats strange the one on top with the silencer seems way louder. The lower one seems more sedate, quieter, and deeper. I like the sound of the unsilenced one better.

i got mine custom done. Not only does it sound great but it was also alot cheaper than the kits online. EX... that buschur one is what, 900 or 1000$? i paid 270 for mine.

thats with a test pipe. not just a cat back

Here is a video of my 1/4 mile with this car stock

damn that greedy exhaust sounds pretty nice from those clips...I wouldnt mind seeing some more from in the car and higher revs

wow sounds real good! I wish some of the duels would sound like that and I'd be sold in a heartbeat!

Just listened in myself, a very nice sound from the greedy exhaust!

The Greddy really sounds great when the wastegate opens up. It has an entirely different tone at that point that's very aggressive.

I think I might get mine done at harman motive south of la. THey have a new turbo back race exhaust not yet released. Maybe they could do it for me. It will probably cost around 1000. Know of any others though, perhaps dual turbo back?

I just installed the GReddy Ti-C. I still have my cat and the stock DP (GReddy DP is in the mail). I gotta say, this is probably the best sounding exhaust that I've had on any of my 16 cars.

Now, my opinion may be a little off (RS*R GTII catless TBE on my VIII) but this exhaust is pretty darn quiet. I think it's really hard to tell via Youtube...but the GReddy exhaust is quiet (with no other mods).

wow 16 cars? how old are you?

Thats not to bad. IMO for an exhaust I would check out Buschurs dual cat back. Man that thing is so nice sounding. I just helped Love9sick install his a month ago!

Just wondering If anyone has a drive by vid of the greddy exhaust

As much as I want an exhaust right now, I am just going to wait til there is more option

or second hand

I feel like this with all the products. I think if a person can be patient we will eventually see much improved prices as competition heats up, and we will see better products over time (especially as they have inventory and everything isnt back ordered). The only mod i have, which isnt really a mod, is just a HKS dropin filter.Im would love to have the all HKS or Coltspeed stuff for the bling factor alone. Guess what im saying is +1 to that post

HKS is currently developing their Hi-power exhaust for the X. I'm not positive whether or not it will be single or dual. The Hi-power sounded awesome on my VIII.

hks costs too much. AMS or Greddy or Agency power is just is high powered for much cheaper. If hks muffler is $800 imagine how much a catback would cost!

You can get the HKS for 652 not 800

I know, my bad!!! Still it will be an arm and a leg!

Custom is the way to go

You guys talk about custom exhuast. My problem how is do you know it is a good exhaust shop? Its hard to know unless you have one that has done a ton of the kinda car you have.

well here where I live these guys do a great job...

I agree to a point.

If they're some shop that just does diesel rigs and doesn't care what you want, that's one thing. However, on the flip side, that's like saying that a shop that builds 35Rs for subarus can't make a 35R to your spec for an evo just because it's going on a different car.

It's all bends, no rattles, and an outlet position/muffler that you're looking for.

The only difference is tubing (thickness/size) and whether they TIG or MIG it.

If you go to a place that falls outside this description, it's just a crappy exhaust shop plain and simple.

Just make sure that it fits well, has .065 wall SS or better, SS flanges, and the welds are decent and you'll be fine.

Yes, I build exhausts for the Xs and I still say this out of honesty.

well here where I live these guys do a great job...

That exhaust sounds REALLY loud. Even with the windows up.

Maybe it's just a REALLY sensitive camera?

As for the rest, looks pretty clean so long as I'm right in that the intake just *looks* like it's 2.5" piping because of the video and is really 3"??

If it's 2.5" like it looks in the video it's as/almost as restrictive as the stock one and they're on crack for building it that way.

If it's just and illusion, then "nice work!".

I think its 3!!! It is supposed to be loud. Its full turbo back RACE exhaust with high flow cat. I sounds nice though, not ricey like some other exhaust. More throaty instead.

Not big on the single exit exhaust. I want to stay with the dual look. I have always liked it. I even really like the quad look from Cobb.

has anyone seen/heard the AMS 3" catback? they claim 15+ HP over stock w/ a 24 lb. weight reduction. just wonderin.
