Do you have a sound clip?
I'm not looking for OEM quiet just not murder my eardrums call the police. I get the whole piece it together thing the problem is this is my first custom exhaust so I have no clue what different mufflers will sound like on this platform. My muffler shop essentially said we'll weld it together with the parts you pick what it sounds like is completely your own fault. So I'm trying to see what other people have done.
Perfect exactly what I wanted 🤣 in all seriousness I'm going to turbo it so that'll quiet things down so if it's a little loud that's ok. Should I do a cat-back or do a part of the mid-pipe too and delete the cat and run an O2 spacer?
. I suggest getting a muffler so it's not ridiculous annoying all the time.
I was recommended a big cherry bomb then a muffler I was thinking of a muffler and a resonator combo like ill_mannere.If you aren't turbo yet, don't do it....you'll power some power for having too big of an exhaust on it. Likely you'll have it made but an exhaust shop. I have a full 3in from turbo back with a HKS Hi power muffler, no cats and no resonator. It's loud when the exhaust warms up and driving on the freeway but it has a deeper tone so that's nice. It's quiet at idle though
I've not seen any 2JZ-GE data that supports or refutes this claim, but I've seen lots of data on various other engines that refutes it. It's on a case-by-case basis that depends on induction and header resonance as well as cam timing. There is no rule of thumb that I'm aware of. If there is 2JZ specific data, can you point us towards it?
My turbo IS has a full 3" exhaust from turbo back. No catalyst. There is a magnaflow resonator, and a HKS hi-power muffler with a big fart-can tip on it. It isn't loud at all. I mean, louder than stock, but not "loud". Mind you, I'm 41 and well past my loud pipes phase of life. Even the woman doesn't think it's "loud".Likely you'll have it made but an exhaust shop.

I think my mind is running faster than my typing...what I meant was that you'll lose some power in low end...but gain some on top end..but on a GE...the power is so small that it isn't much....it because more of a sound thing than power at that point.I've not seen any 2JZ-GE data that supports or refutes this claim, but I've seen lots of data on various other engines that refutes it.

I bought the car with the system already installed so I don't know where it came from, but the quality and construction looks like a real company made it; not some random exhaust shop - and then somebody spliced the resonator in later.

Thanks,I couldn't help but notice your standalone with eshift what's your setup?
ECUMaster Black ran the engine entirely, the stock ECU ran the starter, auto, DBW and MPX stuff. PM if you have any questions I don't want to derail the thread any more.
I got a 2.5 inch exhaust right now Meagan racing catback. you can definitely hearing it coming but once the car warms up its not as loud as I would like it. If I just have the radio on I can't really hear it at all. Would like it to be louder but mostly on the deep side. Would switching out the midpipe make any difference. And also when you do turbo it what should be added for as less rasp and as deep as possible?
