T1R-76S by a landslide. Some of the choices in this thread are downright loud exhausts.

 

I wouldn't consider the ets quiet to actually be a quiet exhaust its just not as loud as the extreme.

 

Akrapovic is mature and not loud

 

ark design is redic quite

 

That price though...

 

I have the Megan OE-RS or whatever the dual exit one is called and the Ultimate Racing minimuffler test pipe. The combo is quieter than the stock catback with a straight no muffler/resonator test pipe, but somewhat louder (and especially deeper) than a full stock setup.

 

I run the Magnaflow with a UR mini muffler TP and it's pretty quiet.

whole set up cost me 750 so price is good for a TP and catback.

 

^^^^This

 

Greddy se

 

Tanabe Medalion Touring is one good choice and not that expensive. Good quality great fitment looks good, and nicely quiet.

actually if someone try to sell one i am interested...

Mine is right now a bit loud to be stockish, what i would like to have for DD

 

And costs a ridiculous amount of money

 

If you think the price of the exhaust is crazy just look at the cost of tips for it. They cost more than a lot of the catback exhausts. Works has it and the carbon tips are an extra 1450.

 

I'm familiar with how much the tips cost. Yes the exhaust system is a work of art and yes it looks fantastic, but I do not feel the price is justified. If I was going to run a titanium exhaust on a X, ETS or Tomei would be getting my money.

 

+1 Akrapovic is a great exhaust (**** it better be) and if you have the money by all means go for it. I just can't justify spending 3-4k for an exhaust that most won't even notice that you have unless you tell them or want to floss at a car show/meet. If it gained significant HP due to it's design, I would be all for it. but just for "OMG so shiny" there are plenty of exhaust that look just as good at 1/2 the cost IMO.

 

I have the Ark DT-S Exhaust w/ test pipe. Its not to loud while cruising, but when you WOT it growls.
