If you want the quietest you can get, get the Apexi, but I personally like the Tanabe better.

What's the difference between a *super* hyper medallion and a regular hyper medallion? Is it just weight?

What exhaust do you have right now?

I would buy an ITR muffler and have a muffler shop make a pipe. It should cost less than $200 total.

I love the sound of my WS. I got it for $375 cat back brand new and u cant' beat that price. Sounds a hell lot better than greddy or any others out there. It took me two years to find a nice catback and now I have to get rid of it because I am going with a diff setup due to motor changes. But for your application I would just keep what u have. The WS exhaust is good for just bolt ons. High comp/nos/turbo its too restrictive because its a dual chamber muffler and not straight through. But the sound of this exhaust is awesome.

I love the Apexi WS but just can't get my hands on one. Seems to be on back order for the ITR>

The super hyper medallion is made out of full stainless steel, and has 1.2 mm thick tubing....

B2Finity-Why don't you try import-specialists? I got quoted for 394 shipped. I'm pretty sure they have the ls/type R in stock.

1fastGSR: The apexi WS is mildly better than the stock exhaust. Better throttle response and midrange.
B18-C1: Thanks. I'll give them a call.

dude...with your setup pretty much any performance exhaust(tanabe, apexi, etc.) is gonna sound pretty nice. As long as you dont get like a brospeed tip off your stock pipe(fartpipe) or like some ghetto *** cherry bomb muffler from pep boys, I'm pretty sure it will sound good. I got tanabe racing medallion and sounds kinda crappy below 4k...but after that, no comparison.
