due to how loud the skunk2 exhaust is (personally i love the sound and can live with it) and not wanting to remove the decat (due to exhaust restrictions) i think i'm going to replace it with something that has performance with a quiet tone. i've been looking at 3 made by tanabe, 2 of them boast a sound level of only 93db or less! so im thinking even with the decat i should still be fine for tracks. opinions on which would suit the car best would be appreciated. Tanabe Concept G click Tanabe Medallion Touring click Tanabe Hyper Medallion click or is there any other suggestions anybody has? |

using my db meter its either 104 or 114db without muffler gaz, with the muffler its either 112 or 100db dead. not sure which readings are correct, i think its the 104 and 100db readings, but some tracks have a limit of 98db, so id be over. thanks leesa, its the same style as my skunk2 which is swaying me, same looks but way less noise. |

Get the flow rates and use the best one. Thats what you will want when you whack your tubby on. |

theres no flow rates on the tanabe website it just says how they are all designed for maximum possible flow/power with reduced noise to ciomply with the american 95db limit. it has a mid pipe silencer built in to the system and a removable tail pipe muffler. the noise isn't any noticeable different with or without my decat. |

Tanabes are loud. I heard a B16b'd MKII at a meet with an SMR and it was VERY loud. Sounded awesome though. Supersprint make very nice, very subtle performance exhaust systems. |

the smr is loud, but the medallion touring and concept g are designed to be quiet but give performance, listened to some soundclips on the tanabe website and both are quiet compared to the smr. and i did wonder if the turbo would quieten it down or not, harvey seemed to think it will but a few people have said the more air will make it louder, so i have no idea what to do. i'm probably going to keep the skunk2 until the turbo is on and then i can see what the outcome is, if it makes it louder i may have to switch back to the cat converter and put the silencer in, not that they seem to make any different. |

just found this post on another forum: if you're boosted it will muffle plenty. (a turbocharger is actually classified by the government as a muffler, and it does decrease the noise) if you're n/a it will be louder so thats kind of what i wanted to hear, the skunk2 will stay for now we'll see if it really does get quieter or not with the turbo. atleast i have another excuse to bolt on that turbo 'it'll make my car quieter, honest' lol.
