Vibrant Exhaust Systems..something quieter?

[ocerrahyan]

Hi,
I have a 92 Turbo with a 1jz. I currently have a full 3inch Apexi N1 Canister style exhaust...Problem is.. its loud. My truck is my DD but i want to take the Supra out sometimes and enjoy it more often but the noise has finally caught up with me..yep you guessed it, got pulled over and harrassed by a cop. I registered my supra as a historic vehicle so the exhaust is fine and legal, but really i cant stand the drone.

Im over the whole canister style and want to go back to the dual tip. Plus the Vibrant muffler is available ALL BLACK and with a 3 inch inlet with dual tips.

A)Do any of you run this setup maybe with the vibrant resonator

and

B)Is this quieter that the Apexi that I have? and if so, how much would you think?

I run a big single dyno'd at 380 and would like to keep the flow of a true 3 inch but the Raptor Racing system is a little pricey for me at the moment (no disrespect to RR) but my mortgage is priority. Im on a slight budget so if this is do-able please enlighten me. I'd love to hear your guys' opinion but you know what im looking for
A little less noise, A lot less drone and something that is budget friendly. My wife rides with me sometimes on the weekends and we both can barely hear eachother.

If not, please tell me your current setups and Ill certainly consider them.

thanks in advance,

Maybe you want yo look into the Raptor Racing 3 inch exhaust.

ahh yes, on my DD supra i put the stock catback on mine and rigged up a cutout for when i want to play works Very nice

The vibrant streetpower muffler is much smaller than I had initially thought, and I have a 3.5" version. If you want to be rid of drone, I might suggest trying one of them as the muffler, and another one as the resonator (much like tanabe does with their medallion touring exhaust) I had a hyper medallion system and even though it stepped down to 2.75" in the muffer/resonator I was still able to make 564 with it. Don't worry too much about 3" all the way through

I have i HKS exhaust and happy on how quiet it is.

I should add- what is you projected budget for this exhaust project? That would help greatly in people making suggestions

HKS Sport (looks damn near stock), sounds great when you get on it, nice and quiet when you don't. I'd say it's about the most balanced exhaust you can get overall.

That said, the Tanabe is another good option I've heard. Nice and tolerable noise level, but opens up to a nice growl when you poke the loud pedal.

I am running a Vibrant dual tip 3" muffler and reasonator on my 89. No drone. It's aggressive sounding but quiet while cruising. No FART CAN sound!

The exhaust I just built for mine is drone free and quiet, but still sounds nice. I started with a $120 ebay fartcan special 3" system and added a dynomax 3" race bullet near the driveshaft as a resonator, and then cut the fartcan off cause it was still too loud and replaced it with a 4x9" oval center/offset Jones "full boar" Max Flow SS muffler ($45). It's a full straight through system, but it doesn't sound like one. It also looks like a stock exhaust (they even sell a dual tip muffler, but I used a single tip). Check my recent threads list for pictures.

Thanks for all your input guys. Im still in the grey zone but im sure ill make a decision soon!

If you don't currently have a resonator you could just add one. Should get rid of the drone.

The Tanabe is really quiet, just really subtle and does get a little nasty once it's opened up.
