Best exhaust?
I have a 2017 RS I4 and i am looking to up the exhaust sound. I have narrowed it down to Borla Axel-back ATAK 11934 and the Flowmaster American Thunder axel back.
I really like the sound of the Camaro SS performance exhaust, and I know mine will never be close to that, but of the 2, what would sound better? And if you have other recommendations better than these 2 and similar price, what would it be? |

However, Ill speak from experience, if you plan on going with a catless downpipe, get an exhaust with mufflers. 1st Setup: ZZP Catted DP & Stock Exhaust 2nd Setup: ZZP Catted DP & SLP Loudmouth Axle Back (muffler delete) This sounded fantastic as far as 4-cyl sound goes. I went to catless due to my tune and recommendations for a tuned engine. 3rd Setup: ZZP Catless DP & SLP (the drone was so bad I left it like this for less than 24 hours and reinstalled the catted DP) 4th & Current Setup: ZZP Catless DP & Stock exhaust (sounds OK but am actively looking for a different solution.) If I had the money, I would have gone for a cat-back setup because I feel like they are better bang for your buck. Most muffler shops will fab a muffler delete for well under the prices of brand name. I am a sucker for brand name so that's why I went with the SLP. I also didn't get a quote under $650 from a muffler shop. The Borla is probably "better," but I think they will all sound relatively the same. A muffled exhaust will sound more or less like a muffled exhaust and a muffler delete will more or less sound like a muffler delete.

Honest answer if your already going to spend the 450 to 500 on an axle-back wait save some more and get the Holley or Mishimoto Cat-Back with Mufflers for the 800ish. No exhaust is gonna sound stellar but those two are quality with a good sound and low to no drone. The borla while not bad by any means is overpriced and your paying for the engraving.

I was in your same boat looking at different exhaust setups and watching videos to try to help me decide. I watched a fellow forum member's videos of his exhaust and I loved the sound. He has the Mishimoto Cat-Back with the ZZP Catted Downpipe. I ordered the Mishimoto Cat-Back and it sounded close to the same, very deep and limited drone, exactly what I was looking for. I'll probably be going catless soon so we will see how that changes the sound.
If you want to watch the videos I talked about his youtube is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjZ...EMLjNuIcU5hhhQ Good luck and take care.

Hi, have the same question. Looking for a muffler, but don't like loud exhaust. From this three, borla s type, flowmaster and Mishimoto, which one will not scream? Flowmaster sounds good on youtube and the cheapest one. What about nxtstep exhaust is it loud?

If it is not a very big deal for you, could you post video with your exhaust. For such a nice price, looks like it is a good one, but how it is compare with borla s type and flowmaster?
