Better flowing but not louder exhaust?

[PeaveyBassist]

Is there any place that has an exhaust system that flows better than the stock system, but isnt much louder? I like the loudness and sound of the stock exhaust, but am lookin into getting better flowing exhaust. I just dont wanna be really loud. I was looking at IE's stainless catback for $450. How is that?

Stock flows fine. People usually buy aftermarket ones just for sound anyway.

supersprint, but yo'll be paying an arm and a leg for it. IMO

And how do you know the stock one doesn't "flow" well?

[PeaveyBassist]

I dont. Figured I would ask if there is anything better, but not louder. I dont want anything louder. Louder exhaust attracts pigs' attention, if ya know what I mean ;) I like the way the exhaust sounds anyways. Any comments on the Ireland Engineering catback exhaust? They say its a little louder than stock.

if you like the sound now, why bother? even if the stock exhaust had poor flow (not the case), swapping would gain maybe 5 crank hp, maybe....

we might as well not do anything to our cars seeing how nothing is worth the effort :roll:

pretty much, its all pointless. so every one sell their E30's to me for 5 bucks.

i have IE cat-back

its not as loud as i was hoping, but its def a lil bit louder than stock

I have the IE catback and I love it. It is a little louder than stock, but not even near being obnoxious. It has a nice sound and it looks nice too. If you are looking for aftermarket exhaust that is no much louder than stock go with IE. I've had mine on for about 7 months and I still love the sound. I'm very happy with it.

It's all about being obnoxious, c'mon what's more fun than setting off car alarms, muscle cars get all the fun why can't we? :D

flow isn't a real issue.

IE isn't that much louder, but then again $450 could go towards more practical uses.

Try a SuperTrapp.
