Given where you live, you'll be better off going with something that is not obnoxious. Something like the Racing Beat dual tip.

Definitely want something quiet. Most of the oval canister type systems are going to be the least attention-getting - Racing Beat or Greddy SP are top of the list there.

san diego cops aren't that bad. I lived there for four years. I got pulled over ONCE for exhaust noise when i had a Civic with a tanabe canister exhaust. The RB exhaust are too damn quiet. Pick what sounds good to you. When cops are near just upshift. You don't have to ride so high in the rpms.

Tanabe medallion TOURING (make sure if you do buy it, its a TOURING model).

I think its very pleasing to the ear. You might sacrifice some hp if you went this route than say an RB dual or a PFS exhaust but its not much. And for sound, i think this is a good exchange.

4 1/2 tip, comes polished so it looks clean and modern. Im on my way in getting this in replace for my PFS. But i hardly drive the car and sometimes you need to have a loud car, especially if its your "toy" and you take it out in nice weather.

I'm running a RB dual tip with a DP and MP (stock twins). At highway speeds there is very little cabin noise and you can still have a conversation without yelling at the person in the passenger seat.

When you jump on it though you will definitely turn some heads.

Racing Beat dual tip for the win. Awesome exhaust, looks (better than) stock, most cops can't tell it isn't. Good performance.

the Racing Beat Dual Tip will limit your power output. It depends on your plans for power and looks. Some are better than others for different things

Unless you are going after 500+ RWHP horsepower I would not worry about it. For a street driven 7, a RB dual with a Magnaflow Midpipe is a very nice tolerable setup.

.. if the single tip flows better you'd think it would be more popular .. did they say anything about the sound difference between the two?.. or is that asking too much?

I think people prefer the dual tip because it looks better and it is pretty similar to stock (look-wise).
