Unhappy Which Exhaust?

Hello again Ladies and Gents,
For months now I have been looking at exhausts for my car, but still struggling which to get,

I love the look of the backslash Mugen Exhaust off each side I think it really finishes it off.


Problem is I want my S2K to sound a little louder and more throty but reading up on the exhaust seems like the noise difference and idle and driving isnt much difference from standard, does anyone have a Mugen Exhaust?.

I am looking at a few others but not sure which to go for here is my ppreference..

Dual exit and Louder than standard but not stupidly loud....

The pre 04 Mugen is nice and quiet, but I believe the later one is louder. NineBolts has one.

I have a Mugen AP2 on a MY00 with a decat and a AEM V2 and it is just the perfect sound.

I used to have a Mugen on my last 99. After the Mugen I bought an ASM Autobacs.

It was absolutely awesome. The build is better than the mugen, its lighter and sounds much nicer without being loud. It really did convert me as before, I was a huge Mugen fan. Here is how the Single ASM I had sounds. They also do a dual.

Best Motoring did a good exhaust comparison test as well
