I'd go MS for both if you want to keep your warranty. Like me..

^other intakes and exhausts wont affect your warranty unless they're the reason for something going wrong.

Anyway, I like the MS exhaust sound better than the Greddy, and I hear the AEM and MS intakes are similar.

I've had the SR Motorsports intake, exhaust and the RP Supercat installed for over 3 years and my warranty is still GTG. Of course, I also have a wet nitrous kit installed and still have warranty work done. My dealership kicks ***.

The MS intake is a re badged AEM intake. MS bought the rights to the intake..because AEM got it right the first time, no point in reinventing the wheel.

I'd go with either the GReddy SP2 or the NEW MS catback..but in my opinion, I'd go with the GReddy out of sheer looks.

If those cars have no other exhaust mods aside from those catbacks, I can safely say my RX8 sounds almost the exact same, with just a resonated Rx7store.net midpipe.

Since the intakes are identical, the exhaust seem to sound the same and they are all great quality. I would buy what ever one I could find the cheapest.

The MS is cheaper. And in imo, it's better looking and has more of rotary tone, the greddy sounds a little on the ricey side to me.

Don't waste you money, get the OBX cat back on ebay for $300.00 if you must have an exhaust.
