So, I have been researching what exhaust to buy for a while now. IT'S SO HARD. I have a particular taste for a nice deep throaty note. I have been searching youtube and the like. I have found so many tinny exhaust sounds, some just high pitch. Only a few that have the note I want, but they don't say how they got it. Does the xforce system sound good? does anyone have a video or decent sound clip? I think that a thread showing video clips of people exhaust at idle and driving if possible would be of great help to anyone trying to work out what to get.
So get recording and post. Cheers

I think either a Borla or an Enthuza would meet your needs. I think there are some recordings of them on the big forum. I have owned both (full systems) and love them both - not tinny at all.

What is the 'BIG FORUM'? I'll check it out, thanks for the tip.... no pun intended.

the only way to hear it properly is to drive in someones car- what do you expect from a tinny recording. .There are heaps of threads. Town and Country exhausts Geelong do an excellent cat back system which sounds good and very reasonable priced supplied and fitted.

ITB's and a full racing beat system sounds GREAT!

Zossi1, I had a look at the Enthuza exhaust.. it's exactly what I'm looking for. Cheers for the idea. Now I just have to save and buy one.

Racing Beat cat, non-resonated pipe and the muffler here... without ITBs and I think it sounds great too. Quietly round the streets but has a great deep sound when opened up!

That's different to hear, I usually find a non resonated pipe goes really tinny. I'll have to look into that.

I agree the racing beat is very quiet until you give it heaps of gas and then it has a lovely deep note. The ITB's add some great induction noise as well.

Yes please, sound clip would be great. That is why I started this thread, so people can say what exhaust set up they have, and then show it off.
and I think it sounds great too. Quietly round the streets but has a great deep sound when opened up!
