best-sounding exhaust
Regardless of performance, what is the best-sounding muffler/exhaust system? My stock exhaust sounds boring, but I don't want to put on an aftermarket exhaust that makes the car sound like one of those farting Civic's.

Racing Beat dual-tip all the way! Nice deep throaty sound, very quiet at idle but vicious at WOT! It looks stock, except better too.
I just got mine on a few weeks ago and I'll be keeping one of these from now on.

You wanna talk about viscious at WOT?? HKS Hyper Carbon Ti (prob sounds the same as the HKS Hyper too).
MY GOD. That thing has an incredible throaty tone to it. I LOVE it. And at WOT, it sounds like the car is simply SCREAMING, but in a deep tone hehe. To me, that's the sound of true power. I've never heard anything like it before...

"Best sounding" is subject to each person. For instance, the Apexi exhausts have distinctive sounds; some people love them, others hate them.
What you should do is search the forum for various videos and listen to the cars. Find one you like and see if you can locate the owner or someone who knows what exhaust is on the car.

The Apexi's seem to have a sound all to themselves. I love the look of the Apexi duals, just not sure about the sound. I didn't like the Apexi N1 at all.
The HKS/RX7.com "inexpensive" exhaust sounds like a weed-eater.
I haven't heard too many of the expensive Titanium exhausts so I can't compare those.
The Racing Beat Duals sound pretty much like stock only a little deeper. Not bad, but not what I was looking for...

I think a 20B with straight exhaust turbo back and RB dual is absolute music to my ears.

Ive been interested in what the fd sounds like with the straightpipe (midpipe) replacing the cat, and the RB dual. I have heard that regardless when you go catless its going to be loud. If anyone has a sound clip, or if you can be highly descriptive that would be great. I have been deciding between Midpipe + RB dual vs. Hi-flow cat + N1 dual.

Btw, I had a FD with a Greddy SP before, dp, mp, and thought it was nice and deep. Now I have a "Rocket" brand exhaust system not found over here(basically a N1 style exhaust, muffler is a little different though). It sounds good I think, but I have feeling that after I add dp/mp it's going to be really loud. Luckily I have a power robbing silencer I can use if I need to. But I'm one of those people who likes loud. Like someone said above, it's all in what you like.

I have Racing Beat dual tip w/midpipe that has a Borla XR-1 Race welded in. Nice mellow idle; as far as full throttle, it did quite it down a little.
I am very pleased.

Good info on the racing beat dual there. I also put a small sound clip of mine in there.
