ugh...this is supposed to be the most quiet on the market...but on my wagon with a helix dp, it's unbearable for me. Is there anything quieter...preferably as quiet as stock?

well one thing to do to get it quiter would be to just add on another resonator.. .. maybe even two if you want it SUPER quite, either that or start looking into some STi catbacks/ axelbacks.. but im preaty sure that the hush will still be quiter!!

hello, after reading questions about exhaust volume on this forum and others iam sure the borla is the most quiet. why don't ya like the aftermarket sound? although i too have wagon the exhaust kind of drones in the cab at highway speeds. do you not like the sound while inside or outside? if its inside the wagon perhaps we should look into some sort of sound dampening material. i wonder if the sedan have this same problem? lol

get a stock sti catback. If a turbobacked hush is too loud, you might as well go back to stock catback. There's no point in spending money to find an even quieter one.

How about dynamat? Would that lower some decibels?

i also have a wagon with a helix dp and borla hush. there is nothing really very hush about a hush. but fwiw, there isn't much else out there. the txs stealthback is supposed to be quiet and the greddy evo is very quiet but its looks are not quiet.

the prodrive catback was the quietest according to Unabomber's dB testing...

Will adding resonators to an aftermarket 3" exhaust lessen the droning inside?
