Default Best sounding custom exhaust...??

2 main considerations ..2.25 piping ..one resonator, and either a Apexi N1 for a canister ..or an ES oval for the stock muffler look .. any better ideas ?... i want something extremely deep ..no raspy sound please

i have 2.5 piping mated to an apexi n1 60mm canister. i love that thing! it's actually quieter than i thought (during normal driving) but on higher rpms it starts to yell. i previously had an e's 2.5 muffler and that thing was loud.
*it's for sale by the way if you're interested

i know what you mean. i've gone custom about 5 times on various cars, and they all don't sound as good as friend's catbacks. but the one thing i never had was a resonator. i've been told it gets rid of raspy exhausts and makes things quiet and deep.

Never had a custom exhaust or anything else for that matter but the other day I installed the HKS Hiper catback on my hatch and it's got a nice deep tone to it. For normal driving i'd say under 3400 rpm's it's not too noticeable. But after that it starts to pick up, but it retains it's deep sound. All in all i'll give it 4 1/2 out of 5, and a for HKS quality. Everything is just as I expected.

Does HKS make headers?

My setup, IMHO best sounding exhaust ever made:

JDM ITR Header 2.5in
Flange to collector 2.5in
Carsound Cat 2.5in
Exhaust cat-back piping 2.5in
ES Oval Duel Tip muffler 2.5in

POW!
