Quietness comparison between a few specific exhausts

Can anyone comment on which of these exhausts are quieter vs each other?

ETS V2 Quiet Edition
T1R 76S
Ultimate Racing Dual Exit w/Mini-Muffler Midpipe

All are obviously on the quieter end of the spectrum of aftermarket exhausts, but I'm curious if anyone can share color on them relative to each other. I've seen comparisons between each of these and OTHER options out there, but can't find anything comparing them to each other. Thanks in advance!

Of those, the ETS will be the loudest, it only has one muffler. The T1R (I have this exhaust) has a resonator in addition to the muffler, and the UR you listed you'd be using with a mini muffler. More mufflers = quieter

I disagree.

The little Vibrant mufflers on the UR exhaust are far from "Quiet". Same ones on the ETS V2 which I'm running. The UR is just a knockoff design of the standard V2. Don't expect the "muffled" midpipe to make a huge difference. Its going to be pretty loud still.

The first two listed can be compared, but not the UR.

People should take a look at what the mufflers are, alot of these guys are just sourcing Vibrants. Guess what the V2 Quiet edition is?

Not even close...the UR with mini-muffler midpipe is beyond ridiculous loud for a daily driven street car. I had one on my car for about two weeks and HATED it. It droned something fierce, especially during light acceleration. What they claim are mini-mufflers are actually nothing more than Vibrant resonators. I've since had the Magnaflow and Cobb catbacks on my car and liked both of them.

If you want a true quiet catback check out the Cobb, Magnaflow, WORKS Exhale, Buschur Crossflow, or ETS V2 Quiet Edition.

^ Throw Tanabe Medalion in there too. I LOVE mine. It's the perfect loudness for me.

I dont have any advice as to the sound, but i know my ultimate racing exhaust parts have not been good to me. the stainless material is far from quality and has rusted quite a bit as well as broken at the welds. I know materials and welding very well as thats what i do everyday and i deal with stainless steel only. Getting thousands of feet of stainless from different suppliers i can tell this is not a quality 304 stainless. I would opt for something else
