Is there anyone that knows of an exhaust that has the same sound characteristics as the above stated, but uses the OEM tips or something similar. I want to keep it looking as close to stock as possible, but still get the slight increase in sound.

Then go to an exhaust/muffler shop and have then weld on new mufflers and use the stock tips.

Don't hold your breath if you are looking for an exhaust with any significant power gains... some even report a loss in power....
Search around for vid clips and also go to a local event and ride with other owners to see what you like..... what one person likes, another person may not..

i'm also looking for something with OEM tips and i found the closest to be Supersprint. It is also not too loud and has a great sound - probably the best exhaust I've heard.

Have a muffler shop remove the center resonator from your stock exhaust, makes it sound a little louder for under $50.

More info... search for "Resonatorectomy"

I've heard the Supersprint, next to Amuse, HKS and Invidia.
IMHO the Supersprint is LOUD, the HKS is not far behind, closely followed the Amuse.
I chose the Mugen I have on now because it is not much louder than stock below vtec, just adds a bit of a rumble.

any reason why the fujitsubo and not the HKS? and are there any videos on the net that can help me hear how it sounds
I still don't get this one. Nothing against the Fuji, but it sounds like every other exhaust. It's got a nice sound with a testpipe, but the note is the same as the average aftermarket exhaust. The reason the HKS sounds so good is because it has a built-in resonator. It's a different style than the others.

Really? I have the non-resonated Supersprint and its nice and quiet in my opinion. Has a nice low tone down low, but as the engine gets up higher the exhaust quiets down.

You can goto www.s2000library.com and hear a lot of different exhausts.

Yep
I guess it is subjective
One mans loud is another mans quiet
listen to the libary or in person!
BTW the sound of the exhausts changes with forced induction
