Ok so I am basically down to 2 different exhausts that I am trying to decide between. On one hand is the Exotic Speed R1-T exhaust. if you are not familiar with this exhaust look here.

http://www.assaultech.com/exotic_spe.../i-465450.aspx

Benefits
Only 1 person I can find on this forum running this exhaust
Sounds good in the video
Looks Amazing (I really like the rolled N1 style tips).

Cons
Unproven Exhaust (like I said I can only find 1 thread with someone actually buying one)
Costs $945 which is alittle high for an unproven exhaust
Only comes in 63mm piping

On the other hand we hand we have the Invidia Q300 dual.

Benefits
Proven exhaust
70mm Piping
Sounds good but not super loud
Costs $600 shipped

Cons
Everyone and their mother has or has had it
Looks ok but nothing different or impressive
May end up getting bored with it and buying something else


So I know peoples opinions are all subjective and whatever but it does help hearing peoples thoughts and why or why they would not buy something. I am not some baller that wants to drop $3k on an exhaust so please don't suggest some crazy mugen crap that I would have to offer my first born son to get or something.

 

why not the invdia n1?
i have it with a matching tp and i love it

 

heard the exoticspeed exhaust in person and thought it was good. Owner said it had a little bit of drone (has a Hardtop too) but it sounds smooth

 

Well the N1 was on the list and in fact the top at first but after having every s2000 owner I have met say not to buy it I took it off the list. I drive topdown basically all the time and while I don't mind a loud exhaust there is a difference between loud and skull splitting. I have a 30-45 minute commute everyday twice a day in traffic and don't want something that will give me headaches everyday.

One other thing I like about the either invidia is I already ahve a 70mm test pipe to match to either exhaust.

 

If I had to decide between these two, Invidia. It's cleaner looking, and isn't very loud. Get a test pipe for a little more sound.

There should still be a Q300 somewhere here in AZ.

 

If this is your daily and you have 1.5hrs of commute you probably don't want anything More than a q300...not to say that it is loud either. The drone with stock cat isn't too bad, its loud but easily controllable with the gas pedal

Hm so we are close to even. This is the problem and I am basically in the middle as well.

 

These are two completly different looking exhausts. Do you like clean, understated, polished? Or do you want more apparent, sticks out and says aftermarket. Round canisters, or more stock like mufflers? What kind of tips?

 

I like the N1 look because it looks cool and I find the factory look boring. If I did get the Q300 it would be the one with the brunt tips also. I think either one will look good in its own way but the tips on the exotic speed are definately my favorite out of the 2.

 

What about the Greddy Ti-C dual?

Has the Ti and burnt tips, fits in the price range, and the sound and quality can all be vouched for.
