What is the quietest exhaust available for an '06 WRX???
I want exhaust for my '06 WRX, but I want the quietest exhaust possible. Of course i have read about the borla hush, and tanabe medallion series... What is the quietest setup I can run. I eventually wanna get every pipe upgraded which is going to make it louder which is the reason i want the quietest exhaust setup possible to attract no attention or minimal attention. Any help is greatly appreciated. I know that when I do the downpipe I should run a cat to keep it quiet. Help me out guys with some input.

I have a greddy evo 2 its super quiet. if youre close to me. we can meet so you can hear what it sounds like in person, to see if this sound is for you.
when I had henry's (XkrazyasianX) car next to mine we compared exhaust notes. he had a borla hush and I had the greddy evo 2. they are both quiet but I think the greddy evo is quieter. I say it depends if you want single tip or dual
here is my exhaust set up
05 wrx
gt spec headers
gt spec uppipe
helix v3 catted downpipe
greddy evo 2 catback.

fujitsubo's are super quiet with ZERO drone in wagons. i had a hush and with a catless setup, it was freaking loud. everyone that sat in my car complained that their heads hurt after the ride. running an sti catback right now but as soon as i see a fujitsubo for cheaper, i'll get it.

I have the jdm Hks Hi Power Silent version with full exhaust including headers. It's as quiet as stock, I can't even hear it with the windows rolled up. plus, it's full stainless steel as well.
Had a friend do a drive by with my car in a parking lot, and at WOT about 15 feet away, I could hear it for 1-2 seconds and then couldn't hear it afterwards.
I've had the usdm Hks Hi Power, and the Greddy Evo on my car. Imo, the greddy evo was louder (at that time I had only a catback) than the jdm hks hipower silent version that I have right now.

I have the MadDad Whisper and I love the tone! Even with the catted downpipe it's still very reasonable... and the weird thing - it's actually designed to get quieter as time goes on! There's a thread on NASIOC about it if you search.
I've driven right by cops with my setup (granted at like 2-4K RPM), but they don't even bat an eyelash...
Also, I would look forward to the Crucial CatBlack that's supposed to come out. GReddy EVO2 and Borla Hush are also 2 other relatively stealthy exhausts...

Car Info: wrx wagon/2.5rs
I agree with juicy..fujitsubo exhaust is very quiet, even under wot..alot quieter I think then the evo2 as well..friend of mine has an evo2 w/dp..I have a avo catted dp and a fujitsubo power getter..mines MUCH quieter..I took one of the resonators out as well (had two), and I would still say mines much quieter, and no droning on the wagon..not sure what fujitsubo exhaust run now, but they are on the higher cost side..

I have a similar setup..
04 STI
FP18g
GT Spec V2 Header/Up-pipe
Cobb 3" Catted dp (modified) it does not taper to 2.5"
Greddy Evo2 Catback
This is by far the quietest/free-flowing exhaust that I have used. I've noticed that a non-catted dp/Evo2 setup is more quiet than most, but a catted dp really tames the exhaust noise level...
not bad...I recently had my car tuned by Jarrad of PDXTuning...
314hp 362ftlbs torque...that's with the catted dp...
