Borla 14858 - quiet, but you won't save money. You should be able to get a pretty good buck selling the stingers though.

If you really want quiet, a catted midpipe would be a good place to start. You might even be able to keep the Stingers on.

+1 when i went from a catted x to an o/r Prochamber my car got 2 times louder

your car didnt sound that loud last night well except for when you started it then it sounded pretty loud!

Agreed I had a catted UPR X pipe with Stingers on my 4v... very reasonable volume, very clean, deep, smooth sound and no rasp at all!

It's the off road pipe. It will be quieter with the Stingers + cats. I have the 14858 and it's still loud, just better around town, but still drones on the highway but not as bad as no cats (I tried it!).

 

[svtslowcar]

thanks for the responses guys. ok, my only concern if i got ot a catted x or h-pipe, is will i lose any HP. i want to be able to get as much out of the midpipe and catback combo as possible. but if its only like 5 hp difference then ill switch to some hi-flow catted midpipe. thanks again.

I have the Steeda Catback and I really like the low level of the rumble.

When I damaged one of my converters a month or so ago, I had my straight pipes in there for a few weeks. I took it to the track twice during that period and didn't go any faster with the straight pipes than I did with the cats in place. My 10 or so fastest passes have all been with the catalytic converters in place, so I doubt they're costing me much, if any, rwhp.

My $0.02.

I think you should just switch to a catted mid pipe.

My .02 I would think an aftermarket catted mid pipe and the FRP500 cat back from Ford would be the quietest set up of all.

:biggthump Great, i think ill look at getting a catted pipe, seems like its really not gonna affect performance to any noticeable degree from what i hear. thanks again.

I have a Magnaflow catback. With a stock cats, it is quiet. With an O/R UPR X pipe, it is more audible; however, you can easily have a conversation within the car without raising your voice....

^^^^ agreed. All he'd need to do is get some of those mini high flow cats off ebay and have em welded in. This is the cheapest/most quiet/high flow option.

You could stop crying like a woman and realize that your car sounds amazing and not change anything on it .

Either go with catted x pipe, or get an FR500 exhaust. Theyre around $550 from. They come with an x crossover after the mufflers.http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=4953 This is the quietest aftermarket exhaust u can get.

Yea I experienced the same thing. Did some reading, it appears that the car due 2 the blower is a backpressure freak. I actually got pretty much the same #'s w my stock facorry H pipe. So I now figure Im not after HP anymore its TORQUE baby TORQUE.

i had an off road prochamber and took it off a week later....i lost all that low end torque that makes the car fun :burnout:

That's what I've got and it's pretty quiet, but still makes good numbers on the dyno. Since it's a multi-mode valved design, it helps maintain low end torque while giving you good power on the top end once the valves open.

I think the MagnaFlow X-pipe 93335 and the Cat-back 15644 is quiet, you can hear them on the Magnaflow website.

I have a 15644 cat-back for sale if your interested.
