Question Tanabe Touring or Borla XR-1 for IX MR?

Hello, I am trying to find the "best" exhaust for my IX MR. I am looking for:
- quite, deep, low tone
- perfect fitments on IX MR
- reasonable price
- efficient / high-flowing

I narrowed down my search to:
1. Borla XR-1
2. Tanabe Medalion Touring

Others I've considered:
* Fujutsubo RM01a -- too expensive to ship to WA because its a single piece design
* Greddy Evo2 -- maybe?
* AVO

What do you guys think? Any suggestions? Sound clips?

80mm? I heard they're discontinuing ExMag line ... and selling leftovers without any warranty ... etc. I guess it doesn't really matter -- its just an exhaust. Do you have sound clips by any chance?

Tanabe touring is nice. Tanabe do say that they're under 93dbs so it will atleast be california legal. If you want something more louder and better flow, I'd recommend the Concept-G blue turboback.
