Well i just got Strup axleback installed on the box. love the initial deep sound but on
the highway doing 65mph its louder than i expected almost hurts my ears after awhile.
anyone else think so? and will sound deadning make a big diiference?
Thanks to Partshippers for their great service.

yeah i noticed that too at about 65-80 mph it gets really really loud

I would think sound deadning would help, it helps keep road noises down so it may help with the exhaust to. You never know till you give it a try thou.

thanks for letting me listen to your car. my tein H-Techs came in on wednesday and
my dad ordered the Monroe sensatracs for me so they should be done next week sometime. i'll keep you updated.

If you just put the exhaust on, there is about a week or so breakin period where the exhast should quiet down. I got the universal which is pretty much the exact same muffler put on last saturday and with even with the silencer in, it hurt my ears but since then has really quieted down a lot. Sound deadening will help though.

You can always buy a silencer.

Peter_Rabbit

will the silencer make it completely quite? i like a little rumble now & then

I know there is an adjustable silencer on eBay.

When I get my Strup exhaust, I'll get the silencer when I drive on highways, and just take it off after the trip.

whats up peter, lemme know how the springs are im looking into getting them too

the exhaust seems loud at first but i got used to it
now it doesnt seem as loud as when i first got it

but that noise is just between 65-80mph for me thats when its really loud other times its pretty quiet.
i think thats when the overdrive kicks in ? im not sure.
since i got the fujita intake installed it got a little bit louder which makes me

I have the version 1 its louder than other exhuast systems. I have my car insulated with 200ft rblox from front to back.. the trunk area was double layered.. it cut down the sound but not very much.. I even have an full ICE set up in the rpunk and it still kind of loud if you ask me. but is sounds good.. I also have the header with made it even louder than the Greddy SC which whines..

Peter_Rabbit

mmmmmm.... Greddy SC (Homer Simpson)

I had a DC exhaust axle back - virtually the same exhaust as the Strup. I tried a silencer. It helped quite a bit. However, my SOTP impression is that it was more restrictive than the stock exhaust. I'm now running the stock exhaust with a tip.

I've read good reviews on the Greddy SP exhaust for the xB. I'm considering going with the Greddy SP or, in the alternative, going down to my local muffler shop and have them build me one from scratch. I'm looking for an exhaust that will let the motor breath more freely (in conjunction with myAEM CAI and MMW header) without waking up the neighborhood or causing me to go deaf.

I agree. This is why I posted a thread about the quietest exhausts. I want one that is very quiet and to most people that would be the Greddy SP or Tanabel Touring Medalion.

I know that the TRD is oneof the quieter exh systems

i opened the windows doing 100 on the highway and it sounded like an airplane was taking off in my car.

Spiderbox

have you tried it ?
it doesnt look like it does much except restrict air flow

hayalex6

smaller opening = less noise.
