Buddy Club is nothing but top quality!!! I would go with one of their exhaust over Junk2 or Greddy... but I would get the Greddy over the Junk2... just my opinion... I think Greddy makes good stuff just the Buddy Club looks sick...

GReddy did go out of business though... Not saying that is because of poor quality products. I just hope that since that happened whoever purchased them out (not sure who it was) didn't skimp on any newer products. I would point you in the direction of Buddy Club because I have not heard a single bad thing about them.

I personally rock a Magnaflow and couldn't be happier with quality, sound, and performance. They claim 6 HP and 6 TQ but I haven't dyno'd my car to verify this.

IT looks sick too!

doubt that they are being skimpy, Greddy is still made by the same company it did before they went bankrupt. Trust Company

That looks really nice... reminds me alot of the Borla system... very nice... do you have any sound clips?

Also like nahonda said Greddy is still amazing stuff... I don't know what I would get personally I am too picky lol... but Buddy Club has a nice sound

I still do not see why Skunk2 has such a poor reputation on h-t. I have had several of their products on a couple different cars with no issues. I have the Skunk2 Mega Power exhaust and I like it a lot. Now, I got it new for free, so that helped my decision, but it has no issues except for the joint between the midpipe a to midpipe b was the lowest point on my car so it scraped on everything with caused the gasket to fail constantly, so I just had the joint cut off and welded together to get rid of that low point. No more scraping or exhaust leaks.

yea something like that. I like how Greddy keeps the decibels down too. Mine is under 95dB and their new products are all about performance without unwanted attention

The Fujitsubo RM-01A is a good one, too. Quite similar to each other except the appearances.

It is my opinion and its also from experience... I had the Buddy Club Spec II exhaust on my Type-R EG and I loved it.... I also had BC coilover Race kit and it was the best one I had on the car...

I never said Greddy wasn't good but btwn Buddy Club and Greddy I personally think Buddy Club is better in quality... Its my right to think so...

None the less you can't go wrong in picking up Greddy product but like the OP stated he wanted an opinion on what he should get and I answered his question by giving him my opinion!

Given the companies mentioned, I'd say my comparison is a rather fair assessment
