Recommend A Twin Scroll Exhaust System
As per title really, I'm going to replace the Milltek exhaust system on my JDM Spec C and just wanted to know other members thought on the best system for quality and sound.
I am leaning towards an RCM exhaust system at the moment and I want to change the complete system but I might well go for a decat in view of the slight performance gain and lower cost, I'll just refit the sports cat downpipe for MOT time.
I've heard reports of H&S exhaust rusting quite badly and fracturing; is this just an urban myth or is there any truth in it?

RCM very loud.
H&S good quality but Jap exit also loud.
Miltek perfect sound balance but hit & miss build quality.
Blitz 3" also quite loud.
All above from personal experience on my old Spec C.
I would go for a 3" system with decat (bellmouth downpipe, heatwrapped) & either Miltek (making sure its well made piece) or a Fujitsubo system (very expensive).
I have heard Gandor are also very good but expensive. Failing all that, go to Hayward & Scott & ask them to manufacture you one to your specs, in terms of free flowing design & noise limits etc

I was going to see if we could get a group buy going for a twinscroll system as few people were asking...
RCM Options:
Loudest - Straight through centre section with team Ice backbox (Very loud)
2nd loudest - Silenced centre section with Team Ice backbox.
3rd loudest - Straight through centre section with RCM backbox
Quietest - Silenced centre section with RCM backbox.
All can be supplied with a cat in the downpipe which will quiten down each setup. Both tail pipes sit very similarly into the back bumper, which is nice and close for a much less obtrusive look.
I was interested in their 3rd loudest system. RCM came back with the following prices:
For 1-2 exhaust systems the cost would be £758.04+VAT each and the fitting kits £45.30+VAT.
For 3-5 exhaust systems, the cost would be £682.24+VAT and the fitting kits, £40.77+VAT.

Other one I liked was Milltek but hearing a lot of bad feedback on them:

I'm definitely not going for a Milltek as you have said the build quality is a little hit and miss to say the least, I might give H&S a call to see what they can manufacture.

I had a H&S centre section on m wrx for 2+ years I removed when I sold the car, no corrosion on it a all. I have since fitted it to my jdm sti and hope to get a good few years out of it. Have found the quality very good. They also do full 3 inch systems, well worth asking them.

I've got H+S de-cat downpipe mated to Revolution 3" system
Perfect for me - quite quiet on tick-over / motorway / around town - screams like a motorbike on full chat

I have a RCM 3" system twinscroll which comprises of the 3" decat downpipe, silenced centre and team ice backbox very loud,.i actually removed my fujitsubo full one piece system 3" that tapers at the down pipe to 2.5" to mate to either the standard 2.5" downpipe or a decat downpipe or even buy an adaptor 2.5"-3". it is for sale in marketplace

I have a mate with a Revolution system on his Hawkeye WRX and they again look good quality but they don't seem to offer a complete twin scroll system.

I think the Team Ice silencer would be too loud, I think I'll be going for a de-resonated centre section with a RCM standard silencer.

Any luck with your system? I am also looking for full 3" decat system for my twinscroll, but cant figure out what to go for. I want something that wont make my neighbours go mental and not drive me crazy on long runs. However, it can scream as much as it wants when i go for it.
Cheers

I picked up a new silencer at a very good price from Indigo-GT, my failure must have been an isolated one and I suppose was just one of those things.
