NH Aftermarket exhausts - Nashua area?

I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket exhaust for my RX-8, preferably just a catback with the stock cat left alone. I'd like to have a bit lower, deeper rumble to the exhaust, but I don't want it too loud. I certainly don't want to sound like a riceboy or chainsaw . I also don't want it to drone while on the highway, but it's fine if it gets loud when I spin her up to 9K RPM...

Does anyone in the Nashua area have an aftermarket exhaust on their 8 that they would recommend and which I could listen to? It's really hard to tell what a setup sounds like just from lousy YouTube clips. I work down in Burlington, so anyone down in that area could help me out too.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions...

Chirp...chirp...

How come I hear nothing but crickets? Surely there is someone in this general area who has an exhaust louder than these crickets...

I am from the Concord Area but ours has a borla muffler with a 3 inch exhaust and speedsource header. Very Loud but quite with my helmet on It is for Track use only. I had the guys at Louis do the custom bends and fitment, I just told them where I wanted the parts fitted and the exhaust to come out. Your more than welcome to come to my house and hear it but I am confident you wont want it on your street car!

Sounds like lots of fun, but yes, you are right that I would not want that on my street car! I would like something a bit louder than stock, but not that much .
