Yes I know that none of them will actually be quiet. But I'm still interested in the ones that produce the least volume/drone.

I'll take 3 inch, 75mm, or 76mm. However you want to measure it.

**Willing to consider quiet 2.75inch (70mm) dual if such a thing exists.

I think volume wise, its all going to be similar.

Or at least, not enough of a difference to really make a difference.

The least offensive affordable 70mm is probably a T1R SSP with a stock cat. Its still going to be terrible right in the "resonance" zone that these cars tend to just drive in. But the sound it produces at that RPM is least offensive to most people's ears.

You probably want to be more specific. For example...the SSP is MASSIVELY louder than the 70EM at high RPM. But the 70EM booms and drones more at "normal" driving speeds. So...the 70EM is quieter...but hurts your ears more because of the tone and placement of the sound.

Either way...the shit is gonna just be loud asf. So buy whichever one you think looks the best and produces the best quality of sound.

endpapers.

There's better 3" exhausts. None are cheap. The EVS tuning 70mm has very little drone and is relatively quiet below 4600rpm.

The ARK tuning 3" is similar, but louder overall, not much drone.

Then of course the baller options, ASM siren or HKS SSM(although that's a dual)
