Default Plain and simple answer to?

I am looking at purchasing an exhaust on Thursday. I have listened to all of the videos posted, and searched my ***** off for information concerning all of the different packages available.

Bottom line in one sentence, what is the deepest, throatiest exhaust available for the tC? I hear and see everyone talking about no this one is, no this one is ... which is it. Plain and simple. I am looking for something that sounds more like an STi rather than a bee in need of ridelin.

I plan to S/C in the spring as well. If that is a factor.

Thanks for any help.

My Magnaflow catback was perfect. It could be heard only when I got on it. It was very subtle, but deep.

there is no plain and simple answer...its all personal preference and those those things you list are too subjective

the supercharger is not a factory with your exhaust really because a it has nothing to do with your engines exhaust like a turbocharge would, so you don't need to take that into consideration.

I figured that, which is why I stated "If" that is a factor.

But there should be an exhaust that everyone can agree is nice and deep/throaty tone to it. Or at least one that is USUALLY deeper than the rest. I just HATE that buzz sound so I just want to make sure I avoid the purchase of something like this.

like i said...its too subjective....

buzz, referred to as rasp, usually comes from headers...but can be rid of with resonators...

my personal favorites are HKS Hi-Power, Skunk2, and Tanabe Concept G

Megan OE-RS with aftermarket Midpipe and spipe is extremely deep. Not saying it's the best, but it's deep. No buzz, but the tone sounds about the same no matter the rpm

I was just going to go axle back because I wasn't sure what my future held for force induction ... but after doing a lot of searching around light I think I have decided on the ARK N2. Really nice and low deep tone and not annoying.

Question to straightsilver, how long did it take you to install and being that it is a catback system will this in any way shape or form affect my warranty or have trouble with passing emissions/safety?

Thanks for your help guys.
