What exhaust to purchase

Looking for an exhaust with more emphasis on quiet than performance. Any suggestions?

Definetly Racing Beat. I've had Borla and Racing Beat, and I prefer the RB by far. Nice not so loud sound, easy to install and high quality. Borla is not bad, but mine is beginning to rust.

I'm on my second Dynomax cat-back system. It's a subtle sound but this stuff doesn't last.

Racing Beat is definitely quiet and their new FC exhausts are all stainless steel.

Racing Beat. It's beautiful, quiet, durable, and sounds awesome when you wind it out - without being any bit obnoxious. It is literally everything [except HUGE weight savings] you could want.

Even with RB Headers, Presilencer and catback, my car is quiet at idle/cruising but still sounds excellent when you step on it.

Then would might like the sound and cost of just stock mufflers, no cats. Kids practically give away stock mufflers in great shape because they're stock and they want some super loud hyper type-r bees in a can system.

That's the trash mine has on it now. I can't wait to get the system and not sound like a pissed of bumblebee at 5mph!

Get a header and Corksport cat back and straight pipe instead of cats. It'll be super quiet.
