i'm looking for a combination of parts that will make my Sti really nice sounding, a little bit louder than stock, which header, downpipe, exhaust, please help me out i really want the car to turn out nice on the first try cuz i probably won't have the money to redo anything if it doesn't sound nice the first time around...please help

oh by the way NEWB here....CT if anybody wants to sell anything

 

I have an 04 sti, the regular vishnu turbo back exhaust with a catalyst which I like because the tip is pointed straight just like stock. They also make a signature series exhaust which is a bit quieter but more money. Bolting the thing on was quick and easy and the only mod you have to do is reroute the wiring for the O2 sensor which is no big deal.

I also installed an APS turbo back system and that thing is nice as well. Nice bends and also keeps the tip straight so it looks stock. One thing I liked better about the APS is that you can unbolt the catalyst and bolt in a straight pipe but then you will get a bit of boost creep but more performance.

There are a lot of great exhausts out there, and best of luck with your search. I will give you one word of advice though. Spend the money now so you won't have to spend the money later redoing everything. Like they say, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Cheers!

 

i kinda like the HKS carbon TI look cuz it's nice and angled...would u think theirs any exhaust with an angled tip that's fairly quiet?

APS RULES.

 

I would agree. I put the aps 3-inch tbe with the dual tip (as not to look like I have an aftermarket exhaust) on and it has such a good sound. The performance increase was a very good addition too.

 

now i know this makes it sound bad, but i would really prefer a single tip. one that sounds good that's angled...say i took a different exhaust and welded a different muffler on it..probably wouldn't work huh..
