What is the most silent exhaust system besides the TRD one??

 

as far as axle backs go probably the tanabe hypermedallion

 

Stock with a nice crome tip.

You could also try something that uses a silencer and that will tame it down even more.

 

I wouldn't exactly describe the TRD exhaust as silent... city driving it has a quiet but powerful tone, but at highway speeds the thing really starts to drone.

 

the RS*R GT Spec is fairly quiet with the stock silencer in it...

 

If you are wanting just looks I would do like egg said and go stock with a nice tip.

 

Stock w/Magnaflow double wall stainless tip:

 

 

If changing to an aftermarket axleback, the Tanabe Hypermedallion is the one you want.

 

MagnaFlow tip is simple, cheap, and all you need.

 

The Tanabe is the one even after I installed the EL Prototype headers the exhaust was just deeper and just a bit louder than stock.

 

Agreed, you can use the tanabe axle back or just throw on a tip with your stock muffler. :D

 

Wow, all of a sudden everyone is in agreement that the Tanabe axleback is one the quietest axlebacks. When I first posted that info over 18 months ago, everyone seemed to call me a liar and said I didn't know what I was talking about!

 

my 5zigen isn't too loud

 

I would just get a tip, MUCH cheaper that way

 

The tanabe is expensive for being a quiet exhaust system. You might just want to throw on a tip and call it a day. Cheaper agreement there.

 

You pay for what you get.

In the beginning, I wanted quality and quiet, so I bought the Tanabe and posted MY experiences. All of sudden a bunch of exhaust "experts" started waving the BS flag.

And now everyone is agreeing to what I said 18 months ago!?!

 

Uhhhhh, the OEM?

 

You know that a tip can make the biggest difference with a stock muffler. I have added tips to boxes before and no one was the wiser. :D




Scionjohn has the same one as well.

 

yeah if you wanna keep things quiet all around, get the tip..

if you want a nice low rumble at low rpms with the cutoff around 1-2,000- id recommend getting a .25" larger (or stock diam) custom catback installed with any large resonator midway (that is the crucial part) and then use a street muffler such as a magnaflow street series to get the nice mean sounding exhaust *only* at ~+5500rpm

then also if you need it to get quieter, you can use a silencer and that will sound damn near stock.

personally, id go for the tip. if you want the throaty high rpm sound, you can always get a decent tone from nearly any aftermarket intake.
