Milltek is the best in that regard if you can get one

Lots of choices (and opinions!). Here's mine on my 2006 car:

Tanabe Medalion Touring dual behind a 63.5mm Berk high flow cat gets compliments from adults including those in performance cars (such as the Shelby yesterday at a traffic light). No hearing protection required and I still hit the throttle in tunnels and long underpasses (don''t we all?) The entire garage staff at the car's annual Virginia inspection really liked the "non-ricer" sound.

Satisfying loud on cold start up, especially when backed into the garage.

I never owned a tanabe medalion; however from hearing it. I can also recommend it.

Other options are Mugen, Amuse R1 Titan Euro, HKS SSM

Fujitsubo, HKS, Mugen(quiet), Borla, ARK, Tanabe. These do not drone from what I have experienced but I am sure there are more. Good luck in your search.

I had no idea you were in Chesterfield. I might have to make a drive up that way to hear it. You have the exact setup I want.

Come on up! My wife and daughter are headed to San Diego in a week's time so I'll have lots of play time. I'm a retired soldier so most days are technically play time. It's less than 100 miles and perhaps we could meet for lunch at some half way point. I strongly advocate hearing exhausts inside the car and on the road. I learned the hard way to not trust internet recordings and "not too loud" reviews.

PM me. I have a small lift and putting the same system I have on a S2000 is less than an hour job assuming we don't need the SawsAll. Recommend a new doughnut gasket at the header and new spring bolts there as well. Otherwise it's hand tools.
