Sorry to beat the dead horse with a stick(is that the saying?)...
I've been through two exhausts so far, a magnaflow and a twin loop, still not happy. Been researching all 471 posts on exhausts lol and narrowed it down to 4 exhausts and was wondering your guys opinions...
Apexi N1 full catback -- I love the look and hear the sound isn't that bad if full catback
Top Fuel 1000 full catback -- Not much info on this other then a few people's words saying it's the nicest sounding exhaust on a 4 cylinder
RSR Exmag full catback -- Obviously highly recommended, sleeper and no headache
Apexi WS2 full catback -- Great sound, also recommended a lot
Just looking for opinions and what majority votes, because honestly I would go with any 4 of these exhausts, but I only need 1. Muchos gracias.

It all depends on what your going for. If you want your exhaust to be loud and noticable, then go for that. I use to have a full Greddy system on my old b16 crx and it was quiet, looked low-key, and added good power. One of my buddies went with the RS*R on his ITR, and he loves it.

What is T1R?
Also would stock itr exhaust fit on my hatch? I'm not too familiar with swapping other parts from other cars lol.
As for sound, if it's a solid exhaust I don't mind a little noise, but definetely nothing to the point of getting a lot of attention, especially by officers. So that's why two of the exhausts I chose I was told were a little more free flowing, therefore a little louder then the other two, but the WS2 and RSR are both solid exhausts as well...and to be honest I like turning down my music and being able to talk to the passanger without yelling lol.

I have gone through a magnaflow, and a twinloop as well, and I am still wanting quiter sound. Some things to try if you havent already:
1. A resonator, or two, lol. I have heard that these can make a noticable difference in sound, as well as make it a little quieter.
2. Header- what kind do you have? I have heard that the cheaper headers that are made of thin metal can give your exhaust a high pitched, tingy sound. Once agian, something I read on here, not something I claim to know. Something to think about
I think my DC sport header may contribute to my problem
3. OEM muffler FTW
As you can see from my sig, I am putting something OEM back on. Get an OEM muffler off a newer sport model, like a Type R, or an RSX, cars like that. They have decent flow, and should make it nice and quiet

Yeah there is a shop up the road from me that could probably put a resonator on it, the header I'm running came on the car when I bought it, I can't tell what brand it is since it's heat wrapped but the flanges are pretty thick so I don't think it's a cheap one. It does have a high flow cat as well so that just adds to the problem lol. I will definetely look into an itr exhaust, either that or probably just buy the exmag, I have 2.5" piping and would like to go a little smaller in diameter as it is, I don't plan on going boost for a good while. Any body have any info on the Top Fuel 1000 exhaust systems though? I've been reading up on them and they are used on a lot of world record cars? I am just curious as to how they sound, someone said they were gonna post up a clip but never did. Thanks for all the help tho guys, any more input feel free.
