Dual Tip Exhausts?

Can anyone point me in the direction of some nice dual exhausts? Is the Racing Beat Dual Exhaust my only option? I saw the apex one and it's just too much for my tastes . . . thanks- C.T.

Can't go wrong with Racing Beat duals if you go for that...I don't have it yet but will eventually...I always hear nothing but great reviews for it. Apexi's are louder from what I heard comapred to the RB duals, which is supposed to be one of the "quietest." RB Duals cost just as much as the Apex'i duals as well if not a few bucks cheaper. Anyhow, I know M2 used to make duals as well but good luck findin' those...M2 is no more.

I've seen the M2 dual in person, and I wasn't impressed with it. Build quality and fit wasn't that hot.

Really, the only choices are the RB exhaust or getting something exotic from Japan - may be harder/pricier to get something from overseas, but you'd have something unique.

Or, just get a big ol' exhaust and be happy with it .

...forgot to note. Here are some links to sound clips of FD exhausts if you're shopping for exhausts in general single or dual.

I have the RB's... I absolutly love them. Not overly loud, and they give a really nice tone when cruising

I have to chime in hear and give the RB duals a big thumbs up.

Supurlative quality and a really nice tone, easy on your ears until you get all over it, then they howl with authority. They compliment the car extremely well too, appearance wise.
Just a very, very good exhaust for the FD all around.

SMB in Australia makes a dual tip in 3 and 3.5 inches. The quality of their stuff is outstanding, but I have no idea what they sound like. One advantage over the RB unit would be not having the "Racing Beat" logo on it!

I just got one of SMB's high flow metal cats - that sucker is just GORGEOUS. Fit is perfect, sound and performance is fantastic - they definitely make quality stuff.

Anyhow, Clayton, they do have a VERY nice dual-tip exhaust - might be a good way to go.
