Default Which exhaust?

Hi guys guys i was going to buy a J's Racing exhaust for a good price but dont wana wait 12 weeks plus for delivery
At the moment im looking at Buddyclub Spec III or an Apexi GT Muffler

Really cant decide which one to go for
Looked at many youtube videos the Buddyclub sounds raspy when letting of
Only found one video of the Apexi

Any of you guys have these exhausts?

Thanks Marcus

I spent months looking for the right sounding exhaust.

Depends what you want really, these are what I was looking at

Invidia is hugely raspy and loud, bit overkill IMO
Tanabe Concept G is pure awesomeness, but good luck finding one. Had bidding wars on ebay with another member.
Mugen is nice and subtle, probably the most suitable for a daily driver if you dont like noise.
HKS is a good inbetween, was my second choice.
Amuse R1 Titan (what i eventually bought), sounds awesome ! and weighs 5.6kgs, i believe AquileEagle has another one lying around somewhere.

I have had all three of these:

HKS - Nice sound but pipes are mild steel and rot from the inside.
Amuse R1 Titan - sounds awesome, weighs 5.6kgs, brittle and likely to break
Mugen - sounds ok, best compromise.

I have the J's racing 60RS stainless steel single exit. It's perfect for me but bear in mind that it is 'race' loud (very).

At WOT it sounds insane.

I hate raspy exhausts!
Originally was getting the J's Racing 70RS but waiting time was just too long

At the moment Funkypower have a good range just trying to decide
They seem alot cheaper than other companys too ^_^

Yeah they seem to be the cheapest decent system you can get in the UK or so i can see, unlees you have found anything else?
But then again, they have quite big can, so i guess its going to be really loud..

sorry to hi-jack.. but just a thought whilst on the topic..
i personally haven't seen one, but i may stand corrected..
other than a custom made.. is there a manufactured exhaust that has the same look as the OEM ovals..
i know Rob at garage R played around with the idea, but the tail pipes were smaller, which i thought didn't look right..
