So, me and the wife made the longest trip so far with the 1jz swap to walmart (20 miles each way) last night and noticed my exhaust is pretty loud at cruising speed. I know it's going to be kinda loud at WOT, but is there a quality universal 3'' round type muffler that would be a little more quiet? Like an Apex N-1 or something of that nature? Right now I have the stock y-pipe and downpipe, but have a chinaman y-pipe/downpipe to put on still and 3'' piping to a 3'' crap ebay muffler with a hi-flow cat. Thanks guys.

I have a Borla (w/ a dynomax resonator and RT cat) on my 7m. At freeway speeds, its slightly louder than stock (I was surprised how little) but is a bit louder (than stock) at WOT. I also put on on of their intercooled tips, there was a significant tonal difference between a strait cut vs borla i/c tip (much smoother tone).

Everyone that has heard it likes the sound. This is the Borla ProXS oval muffler.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it is not 3" all the way through the muffler.

If you are just wanting a quiet muffler and not a whole new exhaust, get one that comes with a silencer, or put one in it, that way you can be quiet when you want, and loud when you want ;).

My Carbon Ti is pretty quite at cruise on the freeway, Quiet enough for me to not notice, but its super loud to everyone else.

I love the deep sound of the Carbon Ti. The Apex'i N1 was nice also when it was on Moe's car and will probably sound nice on Mikes car.

Mine has a silencer, but restricts like a mofo. I appreciate the suggestions guys. I'll probably add a resonator while I'm at it.

Tanabe super hyper medallion.

Car sounds amazing at wot but very quiet at normal driving. Sounds almost like a g35 but slightly louder.
