Hi, noob question.

I've read a lot about these Phat mufflers on the site, but who actually makes them?

Cheers.

Phat is the username of a trader on this site:

He does not have a "workshop" as such, but produces some exhaust products through contacts, and imports many parts from japan at prices better than many.

Ahh, thanks Hotwire. :good:

How do Phats quad tips compare to Sti's noise wise?

Better, you get more of the boxer rumble and they are also less restrictive. Look on You-Tube for a number of clips put up by Arith and others. :wink:

Thanks Bob, I'll have a look, I mean listen. :D

Sounds like they might be too loud for me, I'm just after something a little more interesting than std.

I'd did try a set of Hi-Techs awhile back but found them too drony for my liking.

The Phat quads are a touch quieter, but it sounds like you're more after the STi quads, which still has a lot of the OEM internals to keep it nice and quiet. Otherwise if you can spare the money, a set of K2 Gear quad tips will be the ultimate. Perfect for those wanting quiet during idle and normal cruising, but a nice note during hard acceleration. Plus it looks awesome! :D Expensive though! But definitely worth every penny. You'll find it difficult to find any aftermarket mufflers which can achieve near stock sound levels.

Cheers for that. I hadn't heard of K2 Gear. I'll get googling. :good:

Ahh yes. That's Trieu's 3.0RB with the K2's. You can find most of the clips here:
