exhaust noise thread- updated with video results

[Blue Classic]

Hi Nic, I have had Quiet Pipes on my Roadster for years and love them. They emit a deep solid sound while allowing my wife and I to actually have a conversation on the highway. The wielding, alignment, fit and finish of the Pipes are outstanding.

Quiet Pipes were developed and produced by Boig Motor Sports. They can be reach at: 781-424-0882.

Got a chance to hear Gas N's and Boig Quietpipes side by side a couple weeks ago. The GasN's, as others said, are mellower than the FFRs, quieter but a little too loud for me. The Quietpipes were noticeably quieter, still had nice muscular sound. I ordered the quietpipes last week....
I did contemplate the Flowmaster 30" mod, but in vids they seem a little too loud to me (yeah I'm old and my ears are already messed up-trying to salvage what I have left).

FYE: the current ffr pipes are baffled instead of using packing.

FFR pipes are loud. At first once I started driving I didn't mind it and saw all the post about the loud exhaust and wondered what all the fuss was about. After a while the noise got to me, especially on long drives. I ended up getting some ear plugs, my son wears ear muffs. I may change my exhaust in the future but I need a good comparison to hear the difference and that might take a while.

Quietpipes have always been manufactured by Boig Motorsports. Yes, Breeze Automotive was a dealer for Quietpipes, but Boig Motorsports brought all sales in house last year. If you wish more info on Quietpipes, go to boigmotorsports.com. We are also an advertiser on this forum.

Quiet Pipes the way to go. They have been tested and they last.

I have been down this road looking to save what little hearing I have left. Just like so many of you the stock FFR pipes grew louder over time and the neighbors complained. I did the research on the Slimline Flow Master pipes. Buying a set had them installed and they were louder than the original FFR pipes.
When I bought the Boig Motorsport Quiet Pipes there is an immediate change in the noise level. A mellow deep sound that still lets you know there is something special under the hood but you can hit the throttle wide open and still have a conversation. Well that’s if your passenger can still talk while holding on. At cruising speeds the mellow sound levels back to the mellow deep sound, but at a level where you can talk.

You can’t beat these pipes in any fashion, from design, workmanship, noise level and over all quality.
Look up some of my older post for test results.

I have not yet received my complete kit from FF but I know the pipes will be too loud. I have been reading about the options available to make them not so loud and it seems like there are quite a few; everything from spiral/cone inserts to completely replacing them with with Gas-N pipes. It seems the cone/spiral inserts are not that effective. The Gas-N pipes are great but I just don't want to spend the money, especially since I just paid for the polished stainless pipe upgrade on my FF kit (too late to change that). So I am looking for the best way to modify the FF pipes. Are the Flowmasters referenced above inserts? If not, does Flowmaster make an insert? I recall reading that someone cut their FF pipes, put a Flowmaster (or maybe another brand) muffler inside then, rather than welding it back together, they used a stainless band clamp. Then the clamp was "hidden" by their heat shields Has anyone ever done anything similar? If so, can you please share what you did and the results?

Hi Nic.

By Breeze quiet pipes, do you mean the Gas N Performance ones offered by Breeze. I''m trying to decide which pipes to get and haven't had any luck finding the Breeze Quiet Pipes. Thanks for the help.

Quiet pipes are from Boig Motorsports (I think Mark at Breeze used to offer them).

I couldn't have worded it any better myself!

I like the decibel level and sound of the Boig pipes. I am losing my hearing but I prefer to lose it slowly.
The decibel level was my only big concern with the roadster, all the other shortcomings, (I've researched the roadster 85 ways to Sunday over the last few years) are a minor in my opinion.
Thanks again for all of the feedback guys.
