quietest exhaust with midpipe?

I'm planning on removing my midpipe soon. I currently have an N1 dual and I know that it'll be obnoxiously loud once I straight pipe it. So far the quietest I know of is the 1st generation greddy bl muffler. Anyone know of any other quiet ones? Racing beat? Apex RS? Tanabe?

Greddy SP and the Racingbeat are mellow exhausts with a midpipe. Apexi RS isnt made anymore and Im not sure about the Tanabe.

I use the SP on my car and like it.

for the quietest exhausts, go with either Racing Beat, M2, or GReddy SP.

i have heard the RB Dual Tip in person on an FD with a downpipe and main cat and it not loud at all. very mellow and soft. throw in a single turbo and midpipe and it will be louder, but im assuming it will still be bearable and not obnoxious.

BTW Victor, when you plan on going single and want to really quiet down the car, plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust system. a lot of people have done this with no ill-effects.

I have a Greddy SP with M2 downpipe and SR resonated midpipe. Love the sound, not too loud, but nice and deep and screams at wide open throttle. I used to have an N1 dual and this setup is quieter than the N1 was with the stock cat still in place.

Racing Beat exhausts are the quietest that I know of.

Rotary Performance in Texas used to say on their web site that the GReddy PE was quieter than the SP. I don't know if that is true or not, but my PE was pretty quiet.

IF you can find it (it came with my car) the HKS Sport is incredibly quiet. Right now I have a downpipe with a gutted mid and then this catback, and it is not loud by standards. But like I said, IF you can find it. Somewhere might sell it, but I can't remember seeing it anywhere. I have seen it on another FD (bbr1) before, and Bacon confirmed it was the Sport catback when he saw it. But trust me, it is quiet.
