    I wanna hear them, I have a cousin who has a remus, nice deep sound and not too irritating when doing normal driving...thats what I want...but Remus exhausts are hard to get, I like the speed3 exhauset but I hears its way too loud on the 2.0.....from what I hear that makes a big difference in the overall sound.

    Would recommend a Magnaflow, sweet low rumble, very distinctive tone,

    yet quiet. I find it kinda sounds like STi's

    I want an exhaust that has a very deep hum, yet quiet & that's also reasonably priced.

    Do you guys have any suggestions/brands as to what's a better buy that fits my description?

    Thanks!

    Plus the Vibrant tones down after awhile, not so loud anymore unless you punch it.With regular rev launches it's quite quit but still has that low rumble sound to it.....Absolutely no rice sound here!

    Its sounds exactly how my experience was with magnaflow.. Im guessing once you get used to listening to your exhaust, it wont be as loud.

    The only thing I hated about the Magnaflow was the droning on the highway. I got use to it kinda but I always found it kinda annoying.

    Perfectly fine. Muffler just "muffles" the sounds, doesen't clean the exhaust fumes.

    I say none of the above and custom up a new system
    Bump piping up 1/4"
    use MANDREL bends
    Hi-flow cat
    delete the resonator
    and your stock muffler to keep the back pressure

    you can go to any exhaust shop and pick out any fancy exhaust tip you want
