Smile and the winner is?

ok I've found 3 Exhaust systems in my price rage at a local speed shop now which should I get?

-Dynomax?
-RS*R
-Borla

Keeping in mind that I'm not to concerened with power gain and more concerned with how she sounds, I want something that isnt really lound and keeps the car sounding smooth, which do you guys think would be the best?

Well, can you take the money you have currently and save up a few bucks? What is your price range, anyway? You can always pick up a used system for a reasonable price. Hell, I'm going to have a RB catback for sale, cheap, in a few weeks.

If you don't want to wait I would look into the RS*R and Borla more.

Get a nice borla muffler and have someone make a pipe for you from your manifold, probably the cheapest route. You can get Borla XS-1s off ebay around $90 I think. I have a muffler that was on a greddy 20G turbo kit. I ran with no exhaust for 4 months before I got it, and I can say now anyone who complains anything but racing beat is too loud is out of their mind and that they should try running open DP for a while. Some people say its loud but I like the sound if you can buy this muffler from greddy. As long as you get something with a big canister that has some volume to it you should be ok. But yeah, going to a shop and having it fabricated should be cheapest.

I have a 3" turbo back...NO cats. One Borla XR-1 and an APex'i N1. It's quiet compared to systems it's size. I also run a Borla on my WRX. Great products.

If you can find someone that can weld well. You can replicate your own exhaust system. Far cheaper than what Racing Beat charges. This is just exhaust piping not rocket science here.
