Best Sounding Single Exhaust for the Price?

[92 3K]

Hey everyone, I've been all over the "other" site all week trying to figure out the best sounding single shot exhaust for a TT on our cars.
I like the M2 exhaust on ebay, but the mufflers look kinda small especially under the 1st Gen bumpers.

I like the look of the IPS 4" exhaust with the HKS muffler. The big 4" tip looks good behind the car...but it is a 1300 dollar exhaust, mainly because its titanium.

I was thinking maybe a custom 3" straight pipe aluminized steel pipe from the cat back just painted with high temp paint and a stainless 4" HKS muffler on the back.

So I wanted to know what people's opinions were for the best sounding exhausts.
I want a deep sound and one that you can hear the turbo spooling very loud

gutted precats to 3" pipe all the way to a borla XR-1 and a generic resonated tip. video does it no justice. it has a one of a kind sound, it is deep and growly, but tame unless you want it to be loud. I didn't hear anything like it at NG.
EDIT: i'm running 13T's with a LS6 maf and full hardpiping. which made the spool sound really noticeable.

A 4" straight pipe with an Apexi N1 would sound nice and deep.

for a deep sound, you're gonna need a huge muffler. The reason the IPS 4" sounds so good is the 19lb HKS muffler at the end of it.

weight isnt a concern with me haha but i wish there were more videos with Apexi N1's on our cars.

I wasnt referring to the weight as a detriment, ill get a pic of it next to the N1 style Mufflers on the M2 exhaust to get my point across as to why it sounds so deep and powerful compared to many other single shot exhausts.



Oh and its only about 15lbs...

yeah i love the way the massive HKS's look on our cars. and now that lat.42 makes the filler piece for our bumpers now, i can go with a single =]
