what's the loudest axle back exhaust?
 
trying to upgrade to something louder from my stock 2013 grand sport. Don't want to void the warranty so just want to change the mufflers. What do you think will give me that mean American muscle sound?

keeep your NPP in your garage.. once you get tired of the annoying Drone inside the car you can switch back to NPP and just get a M2W.

Boomer111 05-25-2013 11:32 PM

Agreed, be careful what you ask for.

M2W is only a switch that opens and closes your NPP at will. I just pulled the fuse on my NPP so it's open all the time and that is loud enough for me. Member "BLKGS" just installed the GLH Lemans system from Southern car parts and it sounds very nice.

I have B&B bullets w 1 7/8 kooks headers and it sounds awesome!!! But it's not for everyone it's reallllllllyyyyy loud!!!!

You need to here a few systems before you decide. Borlas system sound real nice as well.

Electric cutouts.

I agree that the oem exhaust is far too tame. I wanted not only one of the loudest, but also (what I consider to be) the best sounding exhausts. I went with a Borla ATAK over the axle setup. I really like that classic American deep rumble / roar. However everyone's taste in exhaust note varies as much as their taste in music. There's tons of great systems out there. Listen to them all and find out which one suites your tastes best. If you have an H-pipe and do a non-restrictive over the axle system there will be a lot of "popping." Sounds racy, but maybe not for everyone.

Again, you're looking for that loud, classic American sound, you can't go wrong with a Borla ATAK. Best of luck.

:iagree:
ATAK or S-Type both sound great.:thumbs:

vettman96 05-26-2013 08:48 AM

be carefull in your selection. Loud is fine, but drone sucks...................

vig1116 05-26-2013 09:13 AM

i agree with what others have been saying. Be careful with just going for as loud as possible, they will have massive drone!! It will drive you crazy in no time, after the initial joy is worn off, if you're like most people.... Corsa sports or xtreme may be suitable for you? I got the sports last week and i love it, but the xtremes may be better if you want wake your neighbors loud...

Boomer111 05-26-2013 09:20 AM

...and set off the car alarms.

Borla Atak has no drone. You cannot even hear it when cruising

Exhaust
 
Keep your NPP and add ARH headers. More horsepower and much louder
Controllable sound with a MW remote.

You will not be disappointed! One thing to keep in mind is that if you have an H-pipe you may consider purchasing the full cat back system with Xpipe to reduce the "popping" sound. I like it so far - sounds pretty racy, but I could definitely understand how it may be a bit too much for many people.

Keep an eye out for my DIY thread that should be coming soon.

To the OP, the Borla ATAK has very little to no drone. Of course when one depresses the throttle completely in 6th gear you're gonna hear a deep growl - it's a big powerful engine! :-) However, that horrible reverberating tone is well suppressed. Best of luck with whatever system you choose.
