Help, Which Exhaust would you recommend??

Hey guys,

Purchasing my exhaust this week, need opinions on the best sound exhaust. Something nice and deep sounding and sounds aggressive. Ive narrowed it down to 3 choices.

1. HKS Legamax
2. B&B Exhaust
3. Racing Beat

keep in mind everything on the car is stock. Thanks guys!

You will probably find your answer in the other 7000000 posts that are EXACTLY the same. Why are you letting people you haven't ever met determine something you have to live with? They are all legit exhausts with youtube videos.

Deep and aggressive? Exoticspeed R1-T is your best bet.

Legamax really isn't aggressive at all so I don't see why you'd throw that one in there. It almost sounds stock, if you ask me.

Racing Beat is not aggressive.

Either HKS hi-power or ExoticSpeed R1-T for aggressiveness.

I had the HKS Hi-Power (it's for sale on here now). It's very deep and aggressive, not ricey sounding at all. IMHO, I think the Legamax is huge waste and I'm not a fan of the B&B. The Racing Beat is GREAT sounding exhaust, but doesn't fall into your preferences. If I had to suggest, get the hi-power, especially if you don't want to spend a ton of money. If money isn't an issue, go for the exoticspeed.

Exoticspeed or hks hi-power are your best choices. I have the GReddy SE and I love the sound, but I don't think its "aggressive".

its got a really nice tone nothing that a video will show you does sound aggressive when you step on it but its got a deep tone when driving i do like the HKS single tip but not the single tip idea i do have to agree with the hks legamax its kinda waste of money tanabe sounds really good if you like tone given we do not get alot of power from exhausts

I thought you were happy with the sound? btw are they 4" tips? if you do a midpipe, it removes the cat, am i right? causing not being able to pass emissions. Im from canada btw
