Default Buddy Club exhausts?

Does anyone have this or have heard one installed on a car? Id prefer not to have something that’s SUPER loud. Although I can put up with it my self, I don’t want to attract the attention of the police, nor do I want to get a headache while driving on the freeway, since I sit around 5K RPM at 80MPH in 5th gear. Id prefer not to have to use a silencer as well, I know the PC-PS catback comes with one, so I’m assuming that its pretty damn loud w/o it installed.
Id also like to know how well it performs. As for right now it’s between this exhaust or an RS*R MAGEX. I know the RS*R is more along the lines of what I’m looking for since its quiet and looks pretty stock (sleeper time!) but I also hear its pretty restrictive. Plus I can get the Buddy Club for almost 100 bucks cheaper!

Please let me know what you guys think

Thanks in advance,

-joe

buddy club isn't your type of exhaust than if you want loud. although possibly the buddy club pro-spec may fit your needs but if you don't want attention at all, might as well just get 2.25" piping to a stock exhaust.

well im looking for sufficent power gains as well. the stock rear section would be too restrictive. Im looking to make roughly 200WHP when my engine set-up is complete.
Right now I have a B18C5 bottom end, reworked B16A2 head (PnP, valve job, omnipower springs and Ti retainers) AEM CAI, and a JDM ITR header. Soom I will be adding a mugen head gasket to bump the CR a bit above 11:1, Buddy Club Stage IV cams, AEBS intake manifold, and (of course) a free flow cat or test pipe w/ a freeer flowing cat-back exhaust. This will all get tuned using my wideband and uberdataed P28 ECU.

i have the b.c. full titanium on my coup and it is EXTREMELY loud without the baffle. with the baffle installed, you actually carry on a normal conversation.

B.C. Ti is 2.25" (60mm or so) and it is spring loaded vice bolt on, and it has a slight kick out to it. mine came off jdm itr and it bolted up just fine, and it only cost me $450. One last thing, this piece weighs in at only 10 lbs for the entire system!
