I want to buy a cat back. RS-R EXMAG or Greddy SP2?
After doing some research I have narrowed my choices down to these 2 fart cans.
Im looking for something better flowing than stock, quiet enouygh to keep passengers from bitching and I drive alot of miles so the noise would eventually get to me too.
Opinions, testimonials, photos and recomendations where to buy are welcome.
RS-R EXMAG
60mm Piping
OR
Greddy SP2
60mm Piping
Thanks

Re: (Mr. Teal)
The RSR Ex-Mag is ceramic-coated stainless steel. I have one on my 95 LX 4dr with the stock d15b7. Very very quiet, only slightly louder than stock. It's a deeper tone and you can only hear it from outside.

Never heard an ex mag but everyone who has one seems to love it. Only downside is the price.
I've heard the SP and it sounds nice but I've heard from a lot of people who have it that there was no power gains from it.

I had the sp before and now I have the exmag. without a doubt the exmag is WAY better in sound, quality of craftmenship, and price. I bought my exmag for $330 before they jacked up the prices.

Actually my original list also had thermal, tanabe, and apex I.
I have a friend that had the rsr on his rex. And I really liked it.
I had another friend that had greddy on his Type R and it was like stock.
The thermal was straight through so I scratched that. I need something quiet.
The apexi and tanabe just didnt look as good. And I havent heard or read nearly as much praise as the final 2 I picked.
BTW anybody know a p/n for the full stainless exmag?

The ex-mag is full stainless then it's ceramic coated black(pretty sure at least.)
I got mine off groupbuycenter.com for like 460 shipped.
Just a FYI, i also just saw a website with a apexi WS for 330shipped, which i mean is a hard to beat price.
