I have the works downpipe/ catback combo. even with the testpipe it is a very quiet exhaust. it's pretty loud in a garage, but on the streets and the freeways, it has a low tone, and no drone. had it for 5 or 6 years now.

WS2 is quiet enough without extra resonators.

Don't get the quietest exhaust you can get, they are boring, go a few db above the quietest, you'll have more fun and enjoy driving, especially canyon driving and tracking with a camera. Mine is a shop built 3inch stainless which is designed to be quiet, to me its on the borderline of to quiet but doesn't attract attention so I'll leave it alone.

Yeah I've had mine on for about 10 years now. They stopped making these a while ago though so they aren't an option anymore unless you can find a 2nd hand one.

Does Anybody know if a Hi Power Exhaust from HKS will fit with a JDM rear bumper?

And also is it possible to install an after market exhaust by raising the car and keeping it up with jack stands? because my car is down waiting for my new radiator cooling stuff to come in so i can get back on the road again.
in the meanwhile i was thinking about swapping exhausts, keep in mind it is disassembled and has main components needed to drive missing,.. or should i wait for a shop with a lift?

That depends on why your abilities are. I've done exhaust on a few of my vehicles on jack stands. It can be done, but it's definitely not fun. I did the exhaust on my Cummins on a lift and it went a lot faster and it was a lot easier.

Sweet looks like I'm giving this a try.

On my X I run a full 3" with AMS widemouth DP. Where the magnaflow necked down to meet the CAT I welded in a proper 3" flange. For that same pipe (post CAT) I welded in a vibrant SS resonator. The end result is a full 3" exhaust, all stainless that is QUIET and DEEP. Wouldn't change it if you paid me. No fart pipe here. But then again I am old and have a four year old riding in the back seat...

alright guys so the exhaust system shipped within one day and i ended up installing it that same day. build quality was great. welds were spot on.

as for a review well this exhaust deff performed better than i expected. very quiet there is no drone at all on the highway!!! exactly what i was looking for in a daily driver. its so silent it kinda left me wanting some more exhaust note LOL. but overall if your looking for a silent setup this is deff the system to get!

look good. Is it neck down at the cat/tp connection? I have HKS Sport exhaust and it's very quiet and sound great. No drone. No neck down. Reasonable price.

I have Megan DP, test pipe and Greddy cat back. Single muffler. I can't say that it is "too loud," but I also can't say I'd want the car any quieter, especially under overpasses and in tunnels

I have never been pestered by police for my exhaust, but if you're set on a quieter exhaust I would go with something that has two mufflers, run a high flow cat and resonated DP. I'm willing to bet you're going to wish you had something a bit louder, but that's my $0.02.

Honestly, with two straight through canister mufflers it is still not as quite as stock.
That is what I've been running. The sound will increase (creep) over time slightly.
