Default What exhaust would you go for?

I'm looking into 3 different exhausts:
-Greddy SP2
-Apexi World Sport 2
-RS*R Ex-Mag
I'm trying to keep some what of a stock appearance and to have an exhaust w/ performance but not crazy loud (so that I don't attract cops). Can anyone tell me <U>OUT OF THESE 3 EXHAUSTS</U> is the best for performance?

(btw, i don't need anyone naming any other exhausts other than these, so if you feel compelled to type something else or ask why out of these 3 DON'T REPLY)

Do you like the RSR because it looks more stock and its not all flashly?
What are you running now?

RS*R for sure if you want a sleeper look with awesome sound and solid performance. A couple of my friends have them and they are great quality.

APEX'i is not for those wanting to stay under the radar.

Greddy is ok, it's deep and overall not too loud. It's like the standard I guess you could say. I don't care for the look, canister is too large.

I can get all 3 for the same price. I guess it's just a matter of which one was better than the others. Thanks for the imput man!

The SP is the only one with a straight through muffler core, the other two are baffled. So for performance SP Also if you don't want your **** to rust then stay away from the RSR. Mild steel, regardless of the coating will start rusting in less then a year (Obviously depending on your environment)

pretty much any aftermarket exhaust will get loud if you plan on getting a race header anytime soon.

i've heard all three of those exhausts with a race header, and all are pretty loud at WOT.

i would personally go with the world sport ii, idle and up to 3k isnt too bad, looks good with its polished finished, and doesnt rust.

the only problem with the ws2 is that at night, any cop that pulls up behind you is gonna be blinded from the bling factor of the ws2. if your planning on making some serious power, go with something like a buddy club spec iii because the piping is substantionaly larger, but it's super loud. i've know numerous people who have ditched those three exhuasts to go with a larger diameter piping because, again, if your serious about performance, they just arent going to cut it.

No problem

I know this isn't on your list of exhausts, but have you considered the Tanabe Super Medallion Hyper? It's the same style of exhaust and in the same price range as well. Also, it has a straight through core, yet even at max throttle it stays under 95Db by California's Db testing standards (My 5zigen was at 115Db at just 4k by their tests ) It's full stainless as well. I can't stress how important that is if you want it to last the life of your car. My 5zigen has only been on since April 2005 and it's already caked with rust. Because of the straight through and stainless factors i would go with either the SP2 or SMH, and I find the SMH's tip much more attractive
