best exhaust sound

[icee753]

I have a 02 ep3 turbocharged with a t3/t4 turbonetics turbo and ive heard a couple of other Honda's around recently that have a nice deep, and a little raspy sound a little like a Subaru. i would like to find out if anyone else got that sound and what set up they used? thanks

[black05ep]

I thinks its all about how every diciphers the sound themselves.i dont have a turbo but im running catless with a race header and skunk2 exhaust. I love it. Really loud but deep.real racy sound. Has a nice burble when i slow down. Or downshift.buddy club,skunk2, apexi n1, hks hipower are some of your better choices for a loud deep race type of sound.

custom 2.5" piping with a vibrant resonator and muffler would sound mean

[Blah1219]

Buy that thermal exhaust in the sales threads on here. That's a badass exhaust that was built for turbo.

i have a costume 3" with a magen tip it sounds nice but i would really love that subaru sound! thanks for the input though guys!

[urthworm]

its the long runners on the peakboost or full race manifold.. my sounded like a subi when i had that set up. full straight thru 3" with flow master muff...
I also see ur from new mexico, what part?

[nitrious]

I've got the greedy Ti-C exhaust.. sounds great ! love it nice and deep..

Yup...that's where you'll get your subaru sound

[icee753]

what size is the down pipe on that set up you had? im from espanola not to many ep's here in new mexico huh

[urthworm]

it was a 3" downpipe.
Not many ep3s at all, there were a half dozen turbo a3 running around but not anymore. Im like 1 of 2 ep3 in albuquerque.

[icee753]

really? i would like to look into that set up i would like the sound!.. really was there a couple that were turbo? what set up are you running man? and have you ran at the tracks at this elevation?

HKS Hi-Power, Motovicity is the distributer now that HKS USA closed :(

[playap07]

good old seafoam in your car will make you run like a subbie for 5 mins.

I have the skunk2 mega power rr and it has a deep ass tone to it! Love this exhaust!

[icee753]

do you have any clips of your skunk2 mega power rr

[AttarixEp]

My mega power rr with full race header. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JdZ87RN3sb4

Best sound for the money is muffler delete. I personally love it, not too much loud or quiet. Just perfect.

Heres a vid my buddy put together when I was getting my K24 frank tuned. Running Private Label Race header (aka CRSX RH or Kidd Racing Rach Header) to kteller 2.5 ss midpipe with 2.5 vibrant ultra quiet resenator to a Megan Racing Ep3 Specific Axle Back.

PS... Dont mind the smoking, i think its due to a bad valve seal or guide, only smokes in Vtec under WOT. Alot of the earlier smoking was due to being VERY rich on my tune.

For exhaust sounds, fast forward to about 2:30 into the video.

[icee753]

I think for the research ive done im gonna go with the vibrant exhuast tip and ultra quite resonator.. but does anyone think it ill be restricting to have that resonator with my turbo set up?

A resonator will just make the exhaust quieter. It shouldn't hurt anything unless you get a smaller diameter resonator than what your piping is (ex. 3" exhaust with 2.5" resonator)

This guy has a sidewinder manifold which is why it has that "Subaru sound" a log style manifold won't sound like that

[icee753]

but the peakboost kit doesnt come with the side winder does it? and i had a buddy who did have a sidewider mani and it didnt sound anything like that

[303EP]

The peakboost kit does. The Full Race kit does as well. Some sidewinders are made more equal length than others. The unequal length runners are what gives it that rumble sound.

[icee753]

i know unequal length does it or the boxster engine but would it do it for our's also?, so to get this sound you think the sidewinder mani would be the only way to go?

Yeah that pretty much the only way to go to get the grumble

[icee753]

i found one on ebay it isint a side winder but seems to be unequal length think it ill work i tried to post the like but it wont let me, and how reliable do you think ebay brand would be?

is the item#

[303EP]

I'd rock it but the only problem I see is how the flange is angled. Your turbo would be pushed up against the firewall and up against your heater hoses and wires...Unless someone has used one successfully I wouldn't trust it. Unless you wanna be the guinea pig of course

[icee753]

I guess I'll have to think about it some more but thanks for all the input man!

[icee753]

has anyone else been able to get that rumble sound without a side winder mani?

[icee753]

Anyone?

[mitchlikesbikes]

2.5 H4 swap?

[icee753]

Haha no I dont think so

[AKAahlecks]

What happens when you unclip an injector?

[03Si757]

VTEC KILLERS!!!

I actually had a slight issue with one of my exhaust rockers locking up, basically locking cylinder 2 in Vtec, and it sounded like i was driving a sti lol.

[icee753]

haha well thanks guys im gonna try a different set up in the summer and maybe it ill at least be quieter thanks for all the input!
