I've seen pictures of the SPT exhaust identifying it as made by Bosal and it looks like that is correct. There is, however, a seller on NASIOC selling what he is calling an SPT exhaust, but the pictures are of a USDM Genome. I vaguely remember some discussion about this, but I can't find the thread. Were both exhausts called SPT?

I would buy it from the guy but he has RAISED his price twice, I'm not sure he's going to give me a price that I like.

 

the SPT is a Bosal exhaust, i have it on my car it sounds really nice it is very deep but not too loud

 

Genomes are only axlebacks.

 

There's actually 3 axlebacks that were sold by SPT at one time or another.

The two normal ones made by Bosal that had the round and oval tips.

Then there's the one that is referred to as Genome which has a much larger tip and is almost N1-like but not mounted at an N1 angle.


They're all fine but you get no more performance than stock.

 

Ahhh, that clears it up, thanks. I knew there was a story like that behind the SPT exhaust, I just couldn't remember the details.

 

That's just being an A$$. SPT's are OK if you get them free, but I wouldn't buy one.

 

if im not mistaken, there is a usdm version genome look alike, and the real deal genome with the coloring in the tip

 

both jdm and usdm are the same...except the jdm lacks the letterings.

 

hey ross...what happened to the genome i sold you back?


go loud! nevermind stealth.....

 

I sold it then tried to buy it back AGAIN, but was too late. I've lost track of it since.

Speaking of going loud, I'm now running a Blitz Nur Spec. It doesn't seem nearly as loud as the TXS RFL, but I haven't driven around with it for an extended period yet so I'm not 100% sure.

 

are you running a full catless tbe?

 

must sound nice!

 

Invidia catless DP to Kakumei adapter to factory STi intermediate pipe. I have a Maddad Hybrid intermediate pipe on the way in, that will eliminate the adapter and the resonator.

After driving the car to work today I think the exhaust is a little louder than I would like. Also, maybe because of my particular set up, the sound quality is not what I expected. I don't know how to describe it, somewhat higher pitched and raspy that what I wanted, I like the deeper (though much quieter) rumble of my Prodrive.

Maybe the Maddad Hybrid + the Prodrive axleback will give me the sound I'm looking for - still deep but slightly lounder than the Prodrive with factory intermediate pipe. I'll find out when the pipe shows up. In the meantime, I think the Blitz has to come off, I don't think my wife will be happy with the increased exhaust sound.

 

FWIW what I think you're describing you want is exactly what my Stromung sounds like. Deep and throaty, not too loud below 3k and off boost but howls pretty good when you get on it.
