Exhaust Noise Levels

[Westyfield2]

So there's eleventy million different exhausts available for the 182, but I was looking for a definitive list of them noise wise.

IMHO for a road car there's two noises you care about, drone at 80MPH cruising on the motorway (which is bad), and 2. rasp when revving it (if you don't like that you can just not rev it!).

So assuming that all systems are cat-back, and on all systems removing or leaving in the catalyst would have the same effect, what's the order of them? From the few I've heard I'm list them as:

1. OEM
2. Milltek
3. RS192
4. <Massive gap>
5. Yozza

But obviously there's Piper, K-Tec, Janspeed, BTB, Orbisoud, etc that I haven't heard!

My yozza is perfectly fine on the motorway, it reads 86db at 3/4 revs.

i dont have a noise on my k-tec but its loevly , not too loud , only get noise under acceleration , at 70-80 can hardlt tell its on, plant your foot and its got a lovely rasp and pop !!

The Milltek doesn't drone on the motorway and rasps nicely. A lot quieter than my mates 172 Cups decatted Yozza race system.

Piper you would hardly know is aftermarket when cruising on motorway, all depends on throttle position to be honest but it's definitely not intrusive.
Sounds really nice when going for it though, crisp, not boomy at all!
