Default Is the TRD exhaust worth the money??

Have you guys found any other exhaust that out performs the TRD one? I want an exhaust but don't want a huge can sticking out the bottom, I like the stock look of the TRD tip, but want the most performance with little noise.
I like the sound of the HKS exhaust, but not the size. any help would be great, thanks a lot. I searched for this topic but came up with little.

Tanabe has an exhaust that has the can hidden, but the tip is visible.

I seriously can't recall hearing a sound clip. But it's not loud at all.
I still like the aesthetics of the TRD.

hmmm, i think i like the tip on the tanabe more than the trd, but they both are a little on the pricey side, maybe ill end up with a knock off for now. thanks for the help

That actually looks pretty cool, because the axleback exhausts right now are definitely not worth the money.

No muffler ftw?

I have none. Looks the best IMO.

I don't have a ghetto setup btw, It's all custom.

This post is worthless without pics.

I would LOVE to see this so I can get an idea of how you ran the piping. Is it tuned length or just thrown together? What research did you do before doing this and did you by chance have it dyno'd to see if you gained anything.
