Which one of the aftermarket axleback exhaust is the quietest? I want my Fit to be as quiet as possible but I will eventually supercharge my Fit when I get done paying it off. I just want to mod my Fit for now just to keep my right foot happy

An EP3 muffler is pretty quiet. Quieter than the HFP muffler. Another one to look at would probably be the Apexi WS2...

EP3 really isn't aftermarket tho it is just off a civic.

I think the megan axleback is going to be the quietest because it has such a huge muffler. I actually thought it was quieter than stock so we cut out my resonator to make it louder lol......

Yeah but I also don't need alot of attention. I don't want a huge muffler because it's such a cop/hater magnet.

(AND I don't want to look and sound like RICER.)

Then go Ep3.

T1R has their v2 muffler. Most people dont like the look. It actually looks stock but its all stainless and gains power so youll get the best of both. Its not cheap

It may not be aftermarket, but it's an alternative that fulfills the OPs objective being quiet and free flowing enough to make a difference when they decide to go FI...

Not a problem.
And whats good about this muffler is if you upgrade piping in front of it the tones will still be low.

Or at least should.

If anyone with an EP3 axle back can post some sound clips in the exhaust thread that would be great. I'm leaning heavily towrds the the T1R V2 right now because I want higher flow without the loud noise. But If I don't have to spend 400 bux...... I think I will eventually get the entire exhaust system done header, b-pipe, axle back. I'm thinking that adding a second canister muffler between the cat and the axle-back flange would give me the quiet I'm looking for.

I've run both the HFP and the Megan.

My experience is that the Megan is a *lot* louder than the HFP, at least with an A/T.

Even when I ran the Megan with stock header and mid pipe, it was lots louder than the HFP.

The HFP was too quiet for me and that's why I installed the Megan.

I like how the Megan sounds, but I sure wouldn't call it quiet.

I'll get a couple videos posted later on tonight (minus the barking dog).

Tanabe Medallion Touring($370), HKS Hi-Power($260), Spoon N1(Dunno), HFP (Not Sure)

I was looking for the same thing and decided on the HKS Hi-Power, no rasp and a quiet, deep tone.

It's short video, but straight to the point...

A quick idle, a couple blips to 6.5K RPM and a quick idle down.

Sorry for the rush job, we were running a little behind to meet up with some friends.

crappy vid

Here's an interior vid I forgot I did when I first got the camera.

Windows up, a quick 1 - 2 to 45mph...

I appologize for the poor quality...

another crappy vid

+1 for the people that voted tanabe touring medallion

they specifically say



so i think that would be the best bet.
taking parts from other cars isn't my style.
the tanabe exhaust looks good too.
