Quietest exhaust?

currently i have a ZZP catless DP and a muffler delete. I am wondering if there are any exhaust systems that will be significantly quieter. i know i could get a high flow cat, but i'd like to avoid that if at all possible. any sound clips/input is greatly appreciated! i love the sound how it is, but its a problem when cops can hear you from a mile away and every person at a red light thinks you're trying to race

yeah i may just put the stock muffler back in unless there is a better option. i just see this as a reason to blow money on a new exhaust!

considering you have no catts or muffler, just about anything else you throw on there will be quieter. haha

i have mpx catted downpipe and mpx catback. i love it! its definitely quiet for everyday driving but opens up when you get on it. my buddy also has turbo xs, the regular one before fl and rfl came out and its pretty much the same way. both sound great and not high pitched like a ricer type car, somewhat a lower growl to it. i watched several videos of basically every single option before ordering mpx and after a couple years with it still very happy with my decision and wouldnt change it

The only gripe I have with the MPx is it looks like the tip sticks out really far in some pictures. Is it like that in person?

Go with a 3" catted down pipe and catback it will be quiet. I believe I had a Mpx or turbo xs down pipe in the shop recently that was all rusty and crappy looking...... who's down pipe had a 1/8ths pipe bung on it

Hmmmm this is tough. MPx and Hahn seem to sound really similar in the videos. Maybe MPx is better. Definitely cheaper! My friend has the same set up as me but with a muffler. That is quiet enough for me but I'd rather get a 3 in exhaust for when I go bigger turbo in the future

the TurboXS GT exhaust is actually quieter than stock...

well... it's much louder than stock idle and below like 1500 RPMs... it makes a really low bass rumble sound under 1500 RPMs. but above 1500RPMs it's really quiet...
