Looking at a few axle back systems for my GE8 and wanted to get some input.

 

i havent tried it, but i heard the OEM axleback sounds really good

 

@op: I'm not sure what you want to achieve but you have 4 axleback on the loud side and 1 axleback which is more on the silent side. You have to atleast know what sound preference you want... do you want something louder or something more discrete/mellow?

 

@theevilone oh well im wanting something mostly that doesn't sound like a typical universal civic bumble bee fart can but that is louder than stock. Just not too loud like a straight pipe

I have read that the touring would seem like the best bet for me

 

I know Youtube doesn't really do any justice, but you should go on there. I heard the greddy spectrum elite one and I might be going with that one.

 

i would say the Greddy SE

 

Forgot about A'PEXi's offering:

I just installed this one on mine and think its amazing, at lease check it out...

 

When I was shopping around for a mellow toned and somewhat discrete sounding axleback... my options were Tanabe Touring Medalion and HKS Silent Hi-Power. Both are discrete sounding but both also are louder than stock. Both has distinct sound characteristics. The HKS would slightly be more db than the Medalion. Could be because it's tip is single wall and constructed to look like the typical racey exhaust. The Medalion on the other hand has a hidden muffler and the double wall exhaust tip/finisher look damn sexy and classy... not racey. The Medalion is perfect if you want to add a mid pipe and sri/cai. Those additions wakes up the Medalion... few db added and making it louder but not defeating the purpose of having a silent exhaust system

Here's a thread with more detailed pics...

here's the only vid clip I took after installing mine... only the Medalion is installed in this clip and no aftermarket intake or anything else...

Looks like the Tanabe and HKS are in a tight race.

 

Well it's been 3 months since I made this post, and I'm kicking myself cause I can't decide between the HKS Hi Power and Tanabe Touring. Problem is I'm not made of money and I don't wanna make the mistake of getting the wrong one that I'm looking for. Ugh!!! I want one but I just don't know.

 

I finally ordered the tanabe touring. Extra thanks to ssmten, and thevil0ne for helping me decide!

 

Nice choice. You will be pleased.

 

Well I have it on backorder, just gonna wait cause the Tanabe is what I really want, I'm sure the others are great if not better, but I am sold on the look of it.

Should be about 2-3 weeks

 

I have the mugen axle back. Not on your poll choices. I picked HKS, always love that exhaust. Anyway, my mugen exhaust sounds great. I have a pipe welded in to replace the resinator aswell. Just another option to consider for anyone looking for a axel back.

Mugen FTW.........
