Advise on low key after market cat backs
I was looking into HKS Silent Hi Power Exhaust, but I haven't seen anyone around my area rocking this...
I saw a video of a 10ae with it installed but I couldn't really gather how loud it was from the video..

any input if this is worth getting
(Only reason I'm looking into getting a new exhaust, i want something a bit quieter..my current exhaust is super bling cops only mess with me if I have the silencers off)
any other exhaust system recommendations are wanted as well

O'rly?
On another note, you realize that the "catback" is just the Y pipe and mufflers right? You also realize that RB mufflers (at least the turbo variety) do not bolt to the stock Y-pipe?

I have the Apexi GT spec cat back and looooove it. Nice and deep. It's rather large diameter, but I ran it on my NA for a year with no noticeable power problems and it wasn't loud at all, then again I had the stock manifold and cats. Now it's on my TII and still sounds amazing. Though if a low-key LOOK is what you are going for as well, this probably won't work so well :P
Is this for a turbo or na?

Don't get me wrong, the exhaust is quiet by aftermarket standards on a rotary. I just want to avoid all attention from cops and other motorists. I want something that people will assume is stock when they hear it. The HKS does not do that. It is obviously aftermarket and louder than stock. I do have a downpipe and mid pipe though. If you still have a cat it may be very quiet.
BTW, I have previously run stock exhausts, Apexi N1's, RB's, generic Ebay mufflers and this HKS on N/A and Turbo FC's so I have a very good idea of what loud and quiet is on a FC.
Hope that helps,
Steve

I know that the RevTII exhaust is not compatible with the stock y-pipe, but the RB TII catback exhaust works just fine. I've used it. Also, measured stock vs RB y-pipe and the pipe diameters are identical. RB Y-pipe joins were no better than stock. I say don't even waste the money.
As far as a low-key single, I've never seen a pre-made system that wasn't loud as ****. OTOH, what about building your own with an Apex'i World Sport II muffler and maybe a pre-silencer? Should be light, free-flowing and very reasonable.
