Whats the best tbe out of these choices?

Turbo XS TBE $808

RSR GT2 TBE $709

Invidia TBE $740

Out of these 3 which would you chose? Also with the rsr exhaust do you need a test pipe to go totally catless or does the dp and cb make it completly catless? thanks.

Invidia. I've had a full TBE on my Evo and previously, my STi (stolen, sniff-sniff)... Love it, great quality and a true 3" all the way through.

edit- if you get the full Invidia TBE it *should* come with a test pipe and all gaskets (excluding o2 gasket, reuse OEM). a test pipe is loud, but proud.

Be aware that the RSR downpipes are bottle neck were they connect to the 02 housing. Also be aware you can bvuy the RSR with a cat delete built in.

Yo should see a pic of the RSR downpipe before you buy.

I hope I am not screwing sales for any vendor here but the RSR Downpipe should be shown closely on a good quality picture. I hope people will have the chance to see what I mean..

Bringing this back from the dead. Looking for a TBE, maybe not exact brands OP was looking for but I'm looking for something with deep sound and angled like the HKS. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Alright cool thanks for the response I'm just gonna take the axel back part of the buschur racing exhaust and look into getting the HKS or other exhaust with the angle. Just weighing my options. Not looking for a high pitch like it has now.

Is the Megan route suggested a somewhat quiet solution or is it loud? Trying to get rid of my 3" Vishnu Standard TBE Exhaust. It drones at hwy speeds..Great exhaust and sound, just too loud for me now after growing older! LOL

Umm I honestly can't remember what the name of the style I have. I have the 4 inch opening Megan race muffler. I wouldn't necessarily say Megan exhaust is quiet buts it definerly deep.
