Hey peeps,

I'm really having a hard time deciding between these two CBE's. I'm after a low sounding but sporty exhaust system for my 2011 ralliart.

I have a wife and a small child (4 months) and don't want a loud annoying exhaust while driving. Needs to be aggressive but have no drone and not wake my neighbors up when I enter my townhouse complex at night.

With this in mind I'd hope you wonderful people may make my decision easier. Also hoping the exhaust will give the car a little more get up and go as tuning is not an option as I would like to keep my warranty for a little while longer.

Cheers and thanks for your responses in advance

 

just keep stock and replace ur cat to high flow or test pipe. exhaust gets annoying after a while. and mitsu voided my warranty when they saw an intake and catback exhaust on my car.

 

I find it hard to believe they voided your warranty? According to the warranty they will not void your new car warranty just knock back claims which result from the aftermarket part.

I think you have grounds to complain to get your warranty reinstated. Not sure what problems a catback exhaust can cause? Turbo back possibly but cat back only can't see any issues.

 

HKS Legamax has my vote.. the piping is a bit smaller (60mm) .. but i think thats one of the reasons why it's being quieter..
the DC Sport sounds pretty quiet amount the 3in Catback.. Ive also seen TurboXS with 2 Resonator welded in... pretty quiet too..

As for warranty... it's probably your intake that voided it.. Catback has little to no effect to the car .. (around 10whp gain... at really high rpm)

Good Luck with the hunt!

 

I have the DC SPORTS CBE, and I couldn't be happier. I don't have any drone at all, and it has a deep, aggressive tone that isn't obnoxious at all. In fact, my fiance barely even noticed it and has not complained once.

 

Ultimate racing FTW! Loud as HELL! Loving it, really makes this beast stand out from any other. Very unique sound.

 

Lot's of good stuff already posted. Mitsu really should not have legal grounds to void a warranty over a catback, and my dealer had no concerns when I discussed adding my DC Sports catback exhaust.

With just the DC sports 3" catback on my car it picked up nicely in performance, but was only slightly louder than stock, but had no drone at all.

I now have added a UR DP and HF cat (which fit just fine), and the exhaust is noticeably louder, but still not what I would call objectionable.

 

err

 

IF you can gather up some extra cash the HKS will be quieter than the others. The DC Sports one will come second. I have a TurboXS and it drones like a ****, and for those wondering, no it's not installed wrong. I had it done professionally and checked out by another muffler shop. It sounds amazing though! It's only loud under acceleration in the city though, on the highway while cruising the wind noise will cancel it out, i drive mostly in the city now so i guess i hear it alot more than before. The huge Ti tips on the TurboXS look great too! hope that helps

 

+1

Actually +5

 

I have the HKS Legamax and I couldn't be happier with it. You can tell it isn't stock because it is deeper but it's not loud. The gains are nice according to the butt dyno and noticing the difference in response at the same throttle position as before. Just seems like it doesn't take as much pushing down on the gas to get it going. A nice pairing with the GST tune. You won't be disappointed and those titanium tips look amazing!
