Looking for feedback on RB vs HKS Sport exhaust

I've been running the HKS Sport 50 mm exhaust on my 90 GXL for the past 6 years. The HKS has held up well over the years. The HKS Sport has been a great exhaust, but the steel flanges have rusted thin and are beginning to leak. The HKS Sport is a relatively quiet exhaust, and I'm looking for a replacement exhaust that is also quiet. I am considering the RB exhaust as a possible replacement. I looking for some feedback on the RB exhaust regarding its noise level compared to the HKS Sport exhaust's noise level. Any help would be appreciated.

Racing beat is definitely the most practical and best sounding in my book.

The rb exhaust is surprisingly quiet and is a great exhaust system.

Well guys, you've convinced me...I'll go with the RB exhaust system. Besides, it's $100 cheaper than HKS, and I like the RB design since it's lay out resembles the stock system. Thanks again for all your helpful comments.

Good call. Plus the RB exhaust is stainless, so you don't have to worry about it rusting.
