This is the exact setup I'm planning on going. I'm having a hard time picking between the RS or the Tanabe Concept G. The Tanabe claims to be quieter, but the mor videos I watch the more I'm hearing rasp because it's a 2.5" exhaust (I know videos don't do it justice). The RS in comparisons is deeper in tone, which I want, but soo much louder which I'm afraid of.

I've already got a Berk HFC front pipe - was an impulse buy before reading up on how much the volume is influenced by the front pipe and of course I no longer have my stock FP.

Debating using this setup + something like an Apexi butterfly valve to maybe help tone things down a tad when I don't want to attract attention or pull into a neighbourhood.

Having an RS - is there any exhaust you can compare it to in terms of volume as a reference point? I've heard muffler deletes and the N1 which everyone around my area has.

this is a members car. Gruppe-S UEL header, Gruppe-S overpipe, stock frontpipe and Ark Grip Catback exhaust. As far as I can tell this has retained by far the most rumble of any header/exhaust package i've heard yet.

Good sound. I'm guessing (hoping) that car has been lowered because it has like no ground clearance. One of the things I love about this platform is that it manages to have a very low center of gravity without needing to sacrifice ground clearance. At stock it's only slightly lower than average. Many people are surprised at the driveways & etc I can deal with without bottoming out.

Actually, great sound. No rasp :)

biggest reason why this is going to be the setup i get!

You wanna hear rumble? I have the greddy revolution catback with jdl uel headers. That'll get you some rumble...and piss off your neighbors. I could get a video if you like...

Is this a good rumble for you:

I just want to thank everyone for their responses. Everyone is really helpful and I'll be sure to return the favor.

Excuse the noob question, but would you want larger or smaller than 2.5" for less rasp and a deeper sound?

If you are interested here is my set up. Invidia Q300 and JDL catted UEL. It is very quiet. Eventually going to replace the front pipe to get a little louder.

Larger = Less rasp but more volume and visa versa

I put a PLM catless front pipe on with my setup and the result was awesome but extremely loud. Like echoing off every building loud, it was like I was driving a legitimate race car but I'm sure everyone else on the road hated it:thumbup: So I do not recommend running a front pipe that's not resonated at least.

A butterfly valve would be a cool idea actually. I'm curious about trying one now.

I've never really been on the outside and had someone actually drive it hard but I would say its somewhat louder than the N1 with it being a single exit and 3in.
