Thread: 3 in VRS Catback (need personal opinion)

Im looking to get a 3in catback, and want to know ur personal opinion if u have a 3in VRS Catback. B13 w VE swap and N1s..

Since nobody has chimed in yet, I have the 2.5 SS catback from them and I really like it. It is pretty damn heavy, so I had to upgrade to NISMO hangers (I think people figured out how to use the Kartboy hangers, there's a post somewhere around here). However, I got their Magnaflow 6" round for the muffler and it was too loud/droned, so I replaced it with an STi muffler. Now I am very happy. I got this exhaust for when I eventually drop the VE into it. I figure I'll probably lose a few HP compared to having a 3" with the VE, but the stealth and quiet interstate driving definitely make it worth it!

i have a VRS 3" catback on my b13,ve,N1's,SSAC 2.5" header, Ebay high flow 3" cat. The exhaust fit like a glove, couldnt be happier about that. The hangers that were supplied with mine were very beefy and appeared to be stainless. The 3" oval magnaflow muffler was way to loud, all around. would drone somethin terrible on the highway. Replaced it with an original Apexi WS 3" muffler (not to be confused with the WS2) along with a 3"x18" thrush glasspack resonator(perferated holes) and its perfect. Very deep throaty sound with absolutely no drone. The original WS's were larger in size with more packing than the WS2's. the WS2's are more on the lines of the magnaflows (small tight packing). If you cant find a WS muffler, the Greddy SP series mufflers are along the same lines of quality and sound, actually in many cases quieter. Problem is they dont sell the mufflers separate from there whole exhaust systems.....and they dont make an exhaust system for B13's anymore VRS FTW with there excellent service and products, would recommend them to anybody

Thanks for the input ,thats wat im worried about (of how loud it would be) even w resonator.

what do you have on your car now?

Using the mufflers you get from VRS it will certainly be loud. I put the biggest resonator that would fit and I have the OEM cat. Take a look at the STi muffler, there are quite a few forum members running those now who really like them. Also look at ShawnB's build thread and the muffler he is running.

I think its a hks sport catback, but need to make my ve breath better.

Thanks i will, i just dont want some loud sh** thats goona drive me crazy.
