Best exhaust?

So i'm looking for an exhaust for my 08 Lancer GTS, axleback preferably. I'm looking to buy one soon because I just came back from the dealership and the dealer said an exhaust wouldn't void the warranty if the problem isn't traced to the exhaust (confirmed =]). Most likely their wouldn't be a problem that an exhaust can cause. Well i'm looking at the RRM and Tsuedo N1 right now, looking for a few opinions.
BTW should I take the exhaust off and put the stock one back in everytime I bring it in for service?

I have the RRM and loving it! The RRM exhaust is easy to install. As far as bringing your car in for service, if its just maintenance I wouldnt worry about it. However for any "warranty" issues I'd put the stock back.

I was thinking that but, wouldn't they have you on record saying that you installed a after market exhaust during the service. Then when you do have a problem and bring it in, they'll know that you switched the exhausts back to the stock one. I don't know thats my theory. The dealer just told me to take it off when you take it in if their is a problem, but I don't know.

It's not up to the dealership it's up to the Mitsubishi Rep for that area. I asked the service advisor at my dealership how they are about warranty repair and what he told me was this...

When someone comes in for a repair they lift the car up take pictures of any modifications and submit it to the Mitsubishi Rep for our area because she is a "stickler" according to him. And she then has to come down and look at the vehicle and there is only a couple times per month that she will do that. He said customers are really mad about it to the dealership but they have no control whatsoever over that type of thing.

Greddy TiC, as for the dealer service question (removing to service), that sounds like a real pain
