Best-Sounding and Performing Exhausts
What do you guys think is the best-sounding or best-performing legal exhaust setup for the FC? Quite a bit of people seem to praise Racing Beat for its performance, but hate on how quiet it is, so I'm kinda curious as to what other people think the "ideal" setup is...

I only hate how much the RB system weighs..
I love the sound of it..and it isn't exactly quiet when you PUNCH IT..so if you think it is too tame then you drive like Granny...lol!
The ironic thing is that you may gain some HP with the system but adding the weight of the exhaust sort of makes the car "even"..(but it sounds Way better than the Farty tin can crap that it came with as stock..haha!)

I ran the RB True Dual system for 3 years. It was quiet at idle and low RPM but got progressively louder as the revs increased. While sound is subjective, it sounded a bit high pitched and metallic to me. I eventually had a custom exhaust made, merging the dual exit header into a 2.5 ID single exit Magnaflow muffler (I also threw a presilencer in). This exhaust is quiet enough that I can actually use my hands free bluetooth in my FC lol. I also have dyno proven gains from ditching the RB system.
RB seems to be good for a replacement of the stock system, but it is heavy.

I agree with Styx and I kinda agree with Dj. I LOVED the way my RB True Duals sounded. What wasn't so great was the fact that they weighed more than the stock stuff. Damn they fit perfectly, flowed like the Mississippi and sounded great though.
In my humble, baked, barely paying attention opinion, of course.
EDIT: If you want loud go with HKS or Apexi N1.

I am also an RB fan. The sound is amazing at higher RPM's and evenly balanced at lower RPM's. Plus, its not loud enough to draw the attention of the law and the RB exhaust doesn't scream, look at me and my rice rocket stereotypical Japanese tuner car, boy racer wannabe, fart can sounding, blowing apart in 6 months because its thin walled **** piping (which is why the RB system is so heavy, to take the heat of the rotary), RX-7.
