I used youtube to help me with my search for a quiter exhaust. I like the ITR exhaust, not overly loud but you can tell it's there.

Its nice to see someone know what they want, and break the mold. with a method based on education and info.
2 1/4 piping is better on certain setups.. nice to see someong trying it out besides me.

I have a RSR Exmag and It is the quietest exhaust Ive ever heard on a Honda (at idle). And it should beautiful when crossing over into vtec. Search it up on youtube. If I didnt have this I would buy an Apex'i Noir. (I like black for the stock look). They have similar sounds.

my friend had a tanabe on his hatch.... it sounded like he was racing at idle :-( he switched to a ws2 and it sounds amazing. you've gotten good advice thus far.

I have a G-Power medallion on my EJ1 and it's really quiet. It just sucks that they don't make those anymore. I know the Racing Medallion is notorious for being a screamer and I just don't know if anything else that Tanabe makes are quiet.

I have a Tanabe Super Hyper Medallion from a 95 Integra and its 87 decibles at full throttle under no load on my Stock 95 DX. has a 4 inch tip but one hell of a nice exhaust. my parents never complain about me coming home late because they cant hear it and i have never had someone tell me it sounds like hell, they just say its to quiet.
here is a pic:

i say use that custom piping person to your advantage. magnaflow high flow cat, magnaflow 4" round 18" long muffler as a resonator, and vibrant flat black bringing up the rear. have it and it's really quiet unless you're really on it
