1) Amuse dual
2) Mugen
3) Fujitsubo
4) Comptech

Anything else will be too loud or annoying.

Is your Dad's car a 2004? I ask because I believe the bigger engine has a different exhaust tone, and the Mugen I have for my 2004 sounds as refined and mellow as Rick Hesel's SuperSprint, which was the A+ for tone in my book. The more I drive my Mugenized 2004, the more I know I made the right choice. Build quality is absolutely the best I have ever seen, and I have done about 80 catbacks in my career, from a 1995 NSX-T to 300ZX's to Eclipse Turbos to Borla'd and Corsa'd and Billy Boated (Tri-Flo) Corvettes.

[QUOTE=efthimios,Aug 25 2004, 07:59 AM] I think the Invidia is going to be way too much for the "loud conscious" person.

The Fuji seems to be a popular choice for those that want an aggressive sound but not too loud. I think the Spugen dual oval fit that criteria as well.

Every single I've ever heard is very f'ing loud.


Dual Oval Spugen gave me the appearance and tone I wanted. I love the look, and while the volume is not a lot greater than stock, it is a deeper, more growling tone. Only the mufflers are stainless......the pipes are aluminized, so some may not like it (though I have no problems, rust, etc. after a year). For looks, sound, and value, it works great for me. Not to mention that Spugen customer service is fantastic.

Others have mentioned MagnaFlow.......the Spugen Dual Oval utilizes MagnaFlow mufflers.

I have heard the Invidia several times. It has a great aggressive sound, but way too much volume for me. You can add silencers, but then you probably aren't much different than stock.

Oh, and I'm 41......much as I hate to admit it, I suppose that qualifies me for "middle-aged".
