Quieter Exhaust

I have a Perrin Dual Tube CBE in good condition, it has a nice rumble at idle, and once you get on it, it sounds like a monster. For the first 3 years I loved it, but now that I DD my car and commute 20 min each way every day I really need something quieter as my hearing is going to start suffering soon. If I didn't commute over the Pali it wouldn't be an issue because I could just cruise around all silent like, but to get up the Pali I need to get in boost a small bit. I would like to swap out my CBE for a quieter one, however I don't want to take a dip in performance.

Anyone have a decent, 3" ( Real 3", no random 2.5" or 2" deals ) quiet ( Maddad Whisper, Borla Hush, Stromung, Invidia G200 ) CBE that they would like to trade/sell?

You may want to scratch that Invidia off the list. I had one and it was pretty loud. I had a Tanabe that you would've like the sound of, but that one tapers to a 2.5" at the Dp flange.

Run a stock cat back, but install an electric cutout. Filp a switch for power and sound, and filp it again to go back to stock quiet-ness ahhhh...

I already have a good DP and I'm not messing with it, just need a slightly quieter CBE.

The SPT seems really quiet. Also, the Cobb and Crawford ones (which I believe are the same) are quiet as well. I had the Crawford on my car for a little while and liked it, but it was too quite for my tastes.

I'd also suggest my Genome, but good luck finding one.

I've had the G200, it's not quiet at all. Some people still may have a Prodrive exhaust(axleback I believe) and it's very nice.

i have a Greddy Evo cbe with double resonator that's been sitting in my garage for a while. one of the best flowing exhaust in the market and just a tad louder than stock. it's a little too quiet for my taste and i may be interested in trading it or selling...oh, and it looks awesome too.

Quiet and performance...

I've had quite a few exhausts since buying my car...and I have to say, the best quiet/power combo was:

a catted Cobb DP and and Greddy EVO2 catback...This made very good power and kept the decibel levels down...consider trading your exhaust for Ted's if you want quiet power...
