Default Can't decide on exhaust for my 95 EX coupe...

Ok, here's what's up.. I used the search, but I'm still undecided on what cat-back to get for my 95 ex coupe.

I want something unobtrusive... something that's not going to attract a lot of attention from cops, etc. I'm looking for a deep, throaty sound, but not something obnoxiously loud, and no "swarm of bees" sound. I was looking at the Apex'i WS, but I'd rather have something straight-through instead of chambered.

I watched a video of a GSR with an Apex'i N1 exhaust that someone posted on here a while back... too loud, I want something understated that isn't going to get me hassle from the cops. Since this is a small town, I won't be able to ignore a warning from them.

I also had the comptech cat-back in mind, but it's also (I believe) a chambered setup. Is a straight through setup going to be loud and obnoxious no matter what, or are there some out there that are going to stay quiet in low-end and into the mid-range a bit? I don't care much if it's loud on the top end, cause my short ram already makes my car incredibly loud when I'm up high RPM land.

Also, which way should I go? 2.25" or 2.5"? I'd like to do a simple, low boost turbo setup in the future on my SOHC, nothing too huge, probably max 5-7psi. Is the 2.25" to 2.5" range going to work for me if I decide to add a turbo later on down the road, or am I going to have to switch to something larger?

Are there any exhausts out there that fit what I'm looking for?

heres my opinion ive had the following:

1.greddy sp,deep, throaty,quite at low rpm,nice deep growl at wot.
2.5zigen fireball, same as greddy maybe a lil louder, the angled look came and went imo,otherwise a nice setup.
3.thermal classic, not your normal import cat back, sounds lil more masculin (i know it's a dumb description but hey) just has that deeper sound. all ss which is a plus and costs the same as most catbacks. if you want something extra quite w/ a nice growl go for the thermal stealth.
