the greddy SE sounds/looks really nice if you wanted to be super stealth you could even polish off the burnt tip and paint the canister part black. i think Larry has the fujis with the canisters painted black and it looks really clean/oem.

dual Greddy spectrum elite would be my choice because of the big piping in it. I believe they're on sale right now.

I don't think I'll need the whole system (cat-back). I'm planning on using my existing turbo-back piping and just add the Y and the mufflers at the end. Should save some money I think.

I have the Asura on my car and I must say it is one of the best flowing exhausts on the market, not to mention it looks amazing. Having said that though the drone above 3k is very annoying and it takes modifying of the rubber hangers to get it to fit properly. Greddy SE is the way to go if you want something relatively quiet that isn't too restrictive. Plus greddy fitment is good and I can't think of a better looking exhaust.

^Thanks for the info! I didnt know the asura drone. I was under the impression with the info here that it was actually a quiet system. Perhaps when compared to other systems. It is a beautifully crafted piece of art though. Thank you!

I actually would opt for the Greddy SE but its not offered in just the muffler or that I could find. If anyone knows where to get one please let me know! Otherwise I might just settle for the tanabe madallion hyper. It's a good sounding exhaust too.

I havent decided yet whether or not to run a free flowing cat like a 3" berk highflow cat. What I lose in power I should gain in retaining a healthier and cleaner environment

This may not apply directly to your setup since you want to run dual and you're turbo'd, but I've heard quite a few tanabe's they sound pretty good, but all of them had a weird drone at cruising RPM.

I think if I was in your position, and I want to keep the existing 3" piping I already have, I would look into MagnaFlow or FlowMaster exhaust and keep the system completely custom. I actually really like the sound of MangaFlow on the S, these are a couple, and just imagine that, but a bit quieter b/c your car is turbo'd.
