What's your favorite sounding intake/header/midpipe/exhaust combo?
 
I find myself jumping from thread to thread searching for intake and exhaust clips so I can have a better idea of what setup I want so I thought I'd go ahead and make a thread to see what others opinions are on your favorite SOUNDING (HP gains aside) setup is. I'm personally interested in upgrading the entire intake/exhaust system but I have a few mods in line waiting. Anyways post your favorite sounding system(s) with a clip if you have one on deck. Again, we're not talking horses,nor facts, just opinions and music to a ninjas ears.

Really liking my invidia with greddy se, a little quiet but the best sound I've seen, hard to keep these cars from being ricy. 350 fwiw

The best I've ever heard is the F-Sport Intake, PPE Headers, Invidia Midpipes, and F-Sport Exahust. From videos I've watched, it's super loud and best sounding IMO. I'm going down the road for loudest and so far I got a short ram intake, Invidia Midpipes, and next is probably a muffler delete since it's loud without mufflers. I may want PPE headers but still debating if it's worth the hassle.

Hands down fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust noticeable only to you and not annoying to others. Since um not in to the loud sound. I pair if off with Joe z intake and ppe headers.

I definitely agree on being hard not to have it sounding ricey. I like the subtleness of that setup from the clips I've heard but I feel like it lacks just a bit in

I had headers on my last ride (e46) and they were such a PITA but it was probably the most noticeable change in both sound and power. But in the end I can't say it was worth the hassle I dealt with. I'm hoping that won't be the case this time around. Keep the mods comin man.

Are you currently running this setup?

laobo979 Jul 28, 2011 06:23 PM

Yes im the that setup now....

ISF4life Jul 29, 2011 12:57 AM

Trust me , my set up is very subtle but when u stepped on it, wah :) music to my ears.... best sound and very nice gain, still waiting for dyno place to schedule for the official rwhp :)

Personally, I love my afe/invidia/hks set-up. It sounds great at wot and if it's ever too loud, I can put silencers in and it sounds quiet inside like the f sport exhaust

Defender46 Jul 29, 2011 05:32 AM

My ebay intake comes in today, can't justify the price for f sport even though its the only one that shows hp gains etc, I refuse to use half the stock air box and im going for a louder intake set up to balance the exhaust. Also planning to build a heat shield/box set up to silence the haters. Should have pics by Sunday.

A_Grasso Jul 29, 2011 01:06 PM

^ the joeZ intake adds 5hp. And it costs 125

HKS350 Jul 29, 2011 01:20 PM

Intake - Fsport

Exhaust - PPE headers, With Hi Flow cats, Invidia Midpipes, Megan Drift Spec to finish

Isn't it just a pipe that uses the stock air box? Therefore the same reasons I'm not interested in f sport apply :(

I was at the BoS7 exhaust demo and I fell in love with the F-sport intake/exhaust + invidia midpipe.

How is the fitment on your eBay intake? I ordered an eBay short ram intake months ago and all I can say is that it is pretty loud. It kicks in at 3000 RPMs and gives a very deep sound. Pretty satisfied with it as I'm only interested in more noise. Only problem is that the fitment is not perfect and my passenger side of the engine cover is pushed up as a result but not bad for like $70. :woot:

Defender46 Jul 30, 2011 04:58 PM

It fits well, I kinda want ti change the pcv hose just because it looks a little stretched, I guess the angle is mildly off there. I built a heat shield or box for it today and now it has a nice echo to it Haha, should definitely keep the hot air out. Ill post a pic in a little while when I get home.
