I don't have any pictures yet, I just know that it will be available around September 10. It's called a Competition Ti-C. I'm still on the fence about running completely catless.

I have the COBB TBE with the HFC and it's very quiet. I switched out the HFC for a resonated test pipe and it's making much less noise. If you want a quiet exhaust...the COBB is the way to go.

I went with the full turbo back HKS exhaust and its pretty loud WOT... but IMOP I think the TI exhausts are always a little bit louder... I think cause the tone is so different then ss

I personally have the AMS TBE with Test Pipe and it's beastly loud when WOT, but not too bad while idling/low RPM DDing.

Going to be hard to explain until you hear it in person, but this may help:

just to chime in on this, i have an ams tbe with a resonated test pipe and it is loud all the time. the resonator knocked it down a little, but it's still pretty up there in terms of db's. i had an hks dp, megan resonator and hks carbon ti cat back. much more liveable in terms of noise and pretty quiet at cruise on the highway. also, according to big al's dyno test of my car with both exhausts, it made 3 peak whp less than a full buschur system with no resonator and was silent in comparison.

also interested in this exhaust... i've never heard of it but was considering the switch to turbo back.

right now i have the original greddy ti-c catback w/ dc sports catless downpipe... it's pretty loud, especially at WOT. i try to shift to neutral when i see a cop about to drive past me.

It's def. going to smell now that you're not running any cats. Running catless is of course not the greatest on the environment. There's a reason why cars and trucks have them. But it is always fun once in awhile to look in your rear view mirror and see a big fireball if it backfires
