Default Just installed Skunk2.

Exhaust was extremely overly loud to the point where I felt like my ear drums are shaking! I LOVE loud cars but dang I never thought it'd be like that to be in one.
I'm not too happy with it as of now. Anyone know a good downgrade to go to?

the invidia v4 is very quiet. when i first was looking into an exhaust system, it was down to hks and invidia v4. i thought the invidia would be loud. but when i did the install with a test pipe, is was very quiet. my friend loves loud cars, he has a straight pipe on his s2k. and damn the s*it is loud. he was very disappointed that my car was quiet.

Silencers are available from Skunk2, pricey @ $50 each but supposedly they don't cut power according to their dyno test (orly???).

Buy some 3 inch resonator outlets and put em on.... or looks like you might need to look into purchasing a quieter exhaust. But remember once your ears bleed and you go deaf like me the exhaust will start to sound great and mellow.
