Default How are the Spugen exhaust?

I am looking for an exhaust system that isn't too loud and with the price tag of $800... I was checking out the spugen (dual N1 style), but sounds pretty loud and i don't know if it sounds ricey in person... Anybody with this exhaust can give me some reviews on it? Or suggest other exhaust system?

I heard droning is a big program with s2k's exhaust?

thanks guys.

My Spugen dual oval stainless steel is not too loud. It's definitely louder than stock, but not nearly as loud as some of the titanium singles that I have heard. The first month or so it was loud and droned a little when it heated up, after a month it started breaking in, now it is a little quieter and never drones. The Mugen exhaust is quieter, maybe too quiet...and twice as expensive as the Spugen.

I was getting a liitle too much reflection off of the polished stainless cans, so I sprayed them hi temp BBQ black for a more OEM look.



Before:



I like my Spugen.

I was able to listen to both at Spugen and on some mountain runs, the titanium are too loud for me (and my neighbors).

i have the same setup as s2ka. i got the dual ovals for the same reason.....(not really really loud). i have been happy since the day it was installed. the only thing i'd ever get to replace it would be a new Spugen set up with those fancy new Spugen Signature Series Tips

I dont have this exhaust, or at least not yet. But i have heard it last week from a fellow member on here from NJ. And let me tell you, it sounds great in my opinion Not too loud at all. Sure its louder than stock, but stock you can hardly hear Im def considering this exhaust, Or the Comptech

Aren't the Spugen Ovals the same as the Comptech mufflers??? Magnaflow I believe. Right?

If I didn't get the Comptech I would of went with the Spugen Dual oval SS step.
