Thanks for all the responses guys. I will be doing some research and look to buy in the spring. Thanks again!

 

I have a Works and cams. It can get loud on the highway. Sometimes its annoying if you want to talk to anyone in the back seat. My kid complains some times but oh well.. I am happy with it..

 

whatever you do, dont go with borla or magnaflow turboback. they're pretty f'n loud. :-\ atleast mine are....

 

should try greddy world sport 2 exhaust nice canister and quiet...

 

I have a Tanabe touring medallion T70072 and love it! Really, I looked at a lot of different CBEs before choosing this one. What is nice is this exhaust doesn't have over bearing drowning sound while cruising around and it has very nice aggressive tone when you give it the gas. They are rated at 93db.

Workmanship is also very nice as well. However be sure to shop around the prices can very, I paid little over $500 shipping included.

 

I initially wanted a Cobb, but since it's discontinued I plan on going with the Buschur with a bullet in place of the cat and a magnaflow out back. But, I want a MAP o2 dump for those WOT moments!

 

My recommendation would be the Works Exhale cat-back. Not loud at cruise, just a mellow hum. Lets you know it's there when you put your foot in it. Best 2 things I love about it is 1: how it emphasizes that signature 4G63 sound, and 2: you want it louder/more free flowing? They sell the axle-back portion in what's basically a straight pipe - no muffler whatsoever. Perfect for track days!

Other option if you want it a tad quieter/stock appearing? They offer their Stealth Exhale. Send in your muffler section as a core, & they'll send you one that's been modified. (reworked muffler internals). More power over stock (always good!), and it looks totally stock!

 

I have a RMR (Rhys Millen) Racing exhaust. sounds nice and its quiet compared to other exhausts I have heard. You get a deep sound instead of the raspy sound too.

 

cut a hole in a potato and stuff it in the exhaust. That might quiet it down

 

Haha... there always has to be a wise guy!

 

Quietest I've heard is the Cobb, but people are right in saying they have been discontinued. You might get lucky calling around. The Works Exhale and B&B are also very very quiet. I'm currently running a long discontinued Thermal R&D, and its pretty quiet for an exhasut with only the muffler and no resonators.

 

i got a greddy with a cat and its sounds awsome not too loud or too quiet just right

How about a stock exhaust with a cutout?

 

I don't know where the Works = loud came about...I've had "several catbacks" and the quiest setup is their Exhale 3" resonated w/ axleback catback muffler. It is quieter that the cobb
