I'm trying to decide on a cutback exhaust..... I'm currently trying to find a Greddy SE but of the at least 15 people I've contacted they're out of stock, and it's discontinued.
So here's what I'm looking for(in order of preference):
1) Burnt blue tips. They look fantastic.
2) I want a lower note in the low revs.
3) No drone.
4) Overall slightly louder than stock, although WOT it can scream.
I'm hoping more so for a list of possible options I can go research.... I've looked into the agency power and exotic speed (with OEM cat) but I'm concerned they'll still be too loud, and drone.

Here's what the guy I got in touch with there replied to me with:
"The Greddy SE exhaust has been discontinued. It has been replaced with the Greddy SP elite and the cost is $840
Let me know what you think."
I've also tried:
-JDM Hub
-Direct Tuning
-Performance Alley
-FMP Racing
-LSD motorsports
-FR Sports
-MVP motorsports
-RX7store
-The only reseller I could find on Ebay
-Called Greddy directly.

I'll repeat: the Exoticspeed RII-Titan is super good. With a little bit of practice, you learn how to make it bellow and how to keep it quiet. (hint, it has to do with throttle control 
).

I have a Toyosports cat-back on my 8. not sure whether you have heard of it or not. its a small company based in the UK. They do the Manifold and De-Cat also. My exhaust sounds really nice. It's quite high pitched, pops and bangs all the time (this is with a cat). When i get a chance i'll take a video of it.

So i have an 04, yellow. so far mostly stock. i put fn0rc1 on it. 18. ive been looking at two options for exhaust. either 1, the racing beat cat back. or 2 having a straight pipe made from the cat back. so someone school me. i'm not too knowlageable. pros and cons to bother please. the cost seems to be about the same.
will i need tuning? airflow? hit me!

i'm ok with that. i dont feel like the car really needs more power for me. I daily it already, and it has more then enough power for me to have fun when i want to. if anything i just want to car to sound like it feels to drive. if i'm investing money in it's preformance it will be in the handling. even though it already handles better then anything ive ever driven. and i can corner near as fast in it as i can on my bike.
Dunno if anyone here has done this but I'm pulling off the AP exhaust to install wideband and egt guages. This is what dual res AP with straight pipe sounds like on a turbo renesis. Skip to 0:56 to skip me talkin and jackin with the camera.

+1 what Fuz wrote. Also, the Tanabe Ultra Medallion is pretty light, but discontinued. Beyond that you have to look at JDM stuff that is all Ti, like the Amuse, but major $$$. R-Magic makes a single as well that is pretty light, but it's $1600.00 This is why many people either go with the HKS, or custom make a single.
Here's an interesting one.

I'm not sure how it compares to the others but, my ExoticSpeed R2-Titanium was pretty light. But bear in mind, it's a dual can and obviously a single exit exhaust will be lighter.
InVidia Q300
tough decision between borla and the InVidia Q300.
if you havent heard the invidia check it out
i called invidia Europe (apparently InVidia US doesnt carry it) and there is backorder 4 month wait and i cant find it for sale anywhere in/near Toronto, Ontario.

I know this is probably a complicated question to answer, but... What causes the extreme differences in prices between different exhausts? I understand the differences between the titanium ones and stainless steel ones, but what causes things like the RB and TurboXS to be so much cheaper than the Greddy, Borla, B&B, etc. ? Just trying to understand the differences and if it's actually worth it to pay twice as much as some aftermarket exhausts for some of them.

Has anyone heard both the TurboXS and Exotic Speed R2 and can comment on which they think is louder? For comparison's sake, say they both had the same cat or midpipe. I'm interested in both, and know they're both pretty loud.
