Default Exhaust loudness and smoothness...??

Which of the two is cleaner sounding, nicer, and quieter?

Invidia or Spugen single canister?

Im in between these two because a seller has not replied since I told him i wanted to buy his Invidia... SO.. please help.. there's very little on the spugen single as far as the search..

I really dont care whether its single, or dual... I just wanna know if anyone considers the Spugen too loud, or too rought... at least compared to Invidia...

I have a Spugen Single Canister. I love it. It is loud though but nobody that rides in the car seems to mind. My girlfriend loves it. The only time that it bothers me is when I have the top up. It has quite a bit of resonance from about 2800 to 4500 rpms. But rev it up a bit and this thing sounds outstanding! Just one blast through a tunnel at full throttle is well worth the price of the exhaust. But, if you use the car as a daily driver and drive with the top up a lot, this may not be the exhaust for you.

no question in my mind, if i was looking for looks, hp gains and a somewhat quiet exhaust system i would go with the dual oval spugen mufflers and would keep the stock (darn, cant remember what that thing in the front is called!) -
i have the dual ovals and replaced the entire system, so mine is louder than the above would be.

The two last replies is EXACTLY the type of replies that I was looking for... Thanks people!

Between that and the fact that I was told that these are most likely a little bit quieter than Invidia might have me leaning in this direction... I have heard from several people that the Invidia is quite loud now.

Invidia is loud without silencer, but it lose power if you put silencer in. however, loud or not, it all depends personal tolerance. i just sold my invidia and replace with tanabe hyper medallion. it's smooth and quiet, just slightly louder than the stock. i like it a lot.
