Quiet Supra Please!

[yongai27]

Hello all,
I've been saving up for a while now to invest in an HKS Downpipe, a test pipe, and the HKS Super Dragger Exhaust Toyota Supra MK3. But, I want to have a quiet car, partially because it's not really my personality and partially because where I live, cops have nothing better to do then give tickets to loud cars. Is there any product out there like a silencer or muffler that will make my car SUPER quiet if I'm going to have this set up? Thanks. Oh yea so pretty much when I get to the BOV stage, I want to mainly hear the BOV haha. I love that sound.

Test pipe isn't going to help it stay quite, and the HKS Super Dragger is among one of the quieter exhausts out there (besides the HKS Turbo exhaust and the Tanabe). Any of the other silencers are things that go in the end of mufflers and are a major restriction...

Drove an HKS Turbo Sport exhaust from Mesa, AZ, to Vegas for SILV08. Eventually I had to let a friend drive, the thing was so quiet it was putting me to sleep. FYI, 1j's are naturally raspy engines, they're louder than a 7m for whatever reason...

Rather than a test pipe, I would suggest a resonator be setup where your cat/test pipe would go. BIC makes them I believe.

Poo, how much flow does a silencer in the tip tend to restrict? I've read that they tend to shift the torque delivery more towards the mid-range, sacrificing a bit of top end HP. Thoughts?

I am with yongai on this one, except my front pipe will be custom made (3'), I have a high flow cat and a tanabe rear box via a hotdog muffler and 3' piping. Can anyone reccomend a nice box to replace the hotdog that will quieten the car without being too restrictive.

I run a HKS drager exhuast full 3" back, no cat, I cut the can type muffler off the end and installed a 3" straight pipe and the exhaust is super quiet still.

Leave the cat on, it will muffle the noise a lot without hurting power.

I also have a 3" electric cutout installed also.

Ah, maybe I won't have too many problems if I don't add in the test pipe. And get a cat..hmmmmmmmm

As an owner of an HKS dragger (the one that looks like stock exhaust, not the other one), they are super quiet. Its just enough to give you car a throaty deep sound and people to notice you a car over but not at all loud for someone to pay attention more than a car length away unless your on the throttle hard and high RPM. It is the best exhaust out there IMO, the only thing I don't like about it is you cant readily hear the turbo like you can like a tanabe or something. Though the tanabe is significantly louder.

Can't go wrong with the super dragger, If quiet is what your looking for. I'm not looking for attention so it suits me well. I have had mine for four years looks great, and well built.

wait shouldnt you be able to hear the turbo better if the exhaust is quieter? Why would the tanabe, if it is louder, make you be able to hear the turbo better than a quieter exhaust? I'm pretty much a big noob, haha this is my first car

FYI, 1j's are naturally raspy engines, they're louder than a 7m for whatever reason...

If you think the 1J is a raspy motor, then what do you call the 7M and RB style exhaust note? throaty?..

 

[S.A. supra]

yeah i agree with you.i have had the same exhaust on both engines, i think the 1j sounds a bit ricey. The 7m sounds lower and deeper. I love the sound of the 7m.

I don't know why he said raspy, the 1J is louder for sure.. but it's just LOUD it's not deep like the 7m/rb style..

Pm' d One more option that is cool.

Huh? Got a picture of that exhaust? I didn't realize they made it dual tip.

 

[S.A. supra]

They make a drager and a super drager

yeah, that's what I was getting at.. the guy that dyno'd my car a few years back said the 1J had a really smooth sound compared to the RB and other engines he previously worked on.

of course, DP/exhaust/turbo/etc will make the car sound different.

On my first Supra. People have no idea its modified, its totally sleeper until you hear the BOV that is.
