What is a good sounding exhaust system?

Post by King Neptune »

For those who have done exhaust what is a good system to go with? I have seen Borla, Magnaflow, and Dynomax but what sounds the best? I don't want the bumblebee sound I want just a nice tuned sound. I thought about the TRD Exhaust but I don't know if they make that anymore.I guess what I am looking for is like a Corsa Exhaust (for those who have had Corsa before) It was quiet while cruising around but when you got on it you knew that wasn't factory.

Magnaflow, best sound, best performance and it's a full cat-back.

A good exhaust note is in the ears of the beholder. I love my custom borla set up. I am currently running a borla muffler with my resonator removed. It has a terrific tone to it, and it burps and gurgles when I let off the gas.

I have a borla and it sounds really nice. It has a nice mellow tone to it.
