Exhaust sound - Honda Prelude Forum

Qveon · 03-12-2003, 07:20 PM

Well its time to redo my whole exhaust system.
I need the Deepest, Throaty sounding exhaust. What can you reccomend. Anyone have any sound clips?

Brady92/4WS · 03-12-2003, 09:44 PM

by deep and throaty do you mean loud and annoying? anyways here is a list of some exhausts
apexi n1 - the loudestthat i know of, most top end gains
thermal stealth - deep and loud up until about 3500 rpms and than you can hear the intake over it
thermal classic - loud like the n1
apexi ws - nice and quiet, deep a little louder than stock

There's a lot more, but i havent heard them first hand on a prelude

greddy evo....

jsmooney · 03-12-2003, 10:04 PM

i like the n1 just a little too loud for daily driving, i like greddy though

The Tanabe Racing Medallion sounds real sweet..even before my greddy header and hi-flow cat...and it's all stainless unlike the other brands...last i checked i think there was only one other company that offered all stainless cat-back.

Go thermal, you WONT be disapointed!!!

All SS, lasts long time and the sound is very nice. But like Brady said you must pick between the stealth(quiet) and the classic (louder), now the classic is a louder exhaust but not nearly as bad as the N1-- but the N1 is really designed for racing!

The stealth will give you the most power in the lower to mid power band and the classic is mid to high power band.

So, if you do alot of around town driving then the stealth will suit you best, if other way around give the classic a try

Hey euforik
didn't you have a thermal exhaust??

I had a click of a thermal classic... If you do a search for "thermal"
I bet you will come across it. It was like 4mo ago

Good luck

what have you guys heard bout dc exhausts? i have headers by dc so i wanted to go dc all the way through... what yall think of dat? any opinions would be cool.

Absolut · 03-13-2003, 07:02 PM

RS*R is quiet....

When I had my 84 lude, its was straight pipe to a CherryBomb glass pack

luderacr14 · 03-13-2003, 07:38 PM

i have the HKS sport exhaust. It sounds much deeper at idle, but at high rpm's it sounds just slightly louder than stock. In my eyes it is very nice when you have a daily driver that you dont want to be annoying you all the time. When i kick it in, all i hear is my intake anyways.

h22a193 · 03-16-2003, 07:32 AM

5zigen Fireball, its deeper then all of them , but gets quiet after 4000 rpm. I love the thing, well ,well worth the money.

SIextreme · 03-18-2003, 08:09 PM

I have a Brullen. I must say, I think it is the best sounding exhaust I have heard. It makes it sound like a healthy 6cy. It's deep, and loud enough to know something is there, but it dies out once cruising

Tanabe

hmmmm mine sounds real nice but unless u can find a Power1 muffler and get custom 2.5 inch piping i dont know if u can duplicate it. I would suggest the Greddy SP and I highly recomend anything Thermal

I do have a sound clip of my exhaust too. http://www.lasalle.edu/~garofom1/rev3.mp3

jsmooney · 03-21-2003, 10:14 PM
