Default Exhaust help!

Ok so I've been looking around and listening to video clips of exhausts and I'm split and need some help deciding. What would be my best exhaust for my money. Like everyone else I want something that sounds non ricey and has a nice deep tone at all the ranges of RPM's. Any advice is welcome.

The exhausts I'm looking at:

TRD - Little Expensive though
Tanabe Concept G - Where is the best and cheapest place to get it?
and any others that might be similar in sound and power gains to those...thanks in advance.

Drew

trd is quiet, real quiet but if you want something that looks OEM then i would def go with it, or the dc sports and the megan on that looks oem (not 100% which on it is)


if you want a canaster style exhaust, which IMO looks the best i would go with an HKS, great name, with allot to back up. I personally have the HI-Power and its LOUD, esppically with a midpipe.


if your on a budget i would go with Tsudo, which is a quialiy product for the price.

Just installed the Tanabe a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Ordered from gripmotorsports.com for $290 + shipping.

i'd go with the Megan Racing OE-RS cat-back (or on this car, s-pipe back). i have the same and it sounds very deep and nice, not loud at all - kinda WRX-ish.

looks-wise it is the same as stock but the muffler canister is a little smaller.

and for the price you can't beat it with a stick! $475 shipped, some axle-backs cost that much or more and they don't give you much more than 1-2whp gains, waste of money imo.

love my hks, it is a litte loud with the CC s-pipe and megan mid pipe but i don't think its ricey or anything. the oe-rs was another one i was looking at but i figured that if i'm not going to get a header than i'd get a exhaust that flows best.

After hearing the HKS I like it more than my TRD..........wish I had gotten it first...........it has a bigger meaner sound.

DC Sports FTW. Sounds great, deep like a V6. Looks pretty stock, not a ricy HKS/JDM style canister.
