Question Exhaust, never thought it would be this hard

Ok guys I have been all over here listening and looking at different exhausts. There are so many to choose from. My brother has his own company where he is able to get wholesale pricing on a couple products. I know he can get the Tekeda exhaust for, in my opinion, very cheap. I do like the sound of the Tekeda just not the low 3HP gain it gives. What are your thoughts and if you would like to reply videos of your exhaust or exhaust you wish you would have bought or are looking to buy it may be helpful. I know there are a ton on here Im just really torn on what direction to go. I should mention that it is not a track car it is my everyday car that I like to "drive" I do like to mod and have some great ideas. Just really stuck on exhaust and rims haha.

Thanks guys!

I can't stand that pipe that hangs low on the Takeda, my two favorites are MXP and Milltek. If you wanted something cheaper there are a few axlebacks like nameless, Greddy sp elite, and the new Works AB-M is only 409 on the group buy. I don't have any experience with the axlebacks but the first 2 have had favorable reviews, the works is new so not much out there.

I think the axlebacks are a waste for a little more you can get the invidia n1... I think I'm going to go with that just because it's the only one I can afford

Edit: catbacks are same price and same installation so might as well!!!

My Nameless sounds and looks great. Furthermore, it was hand made in the USA; that's worth the price difference to me compared to a robot welded Invidia melon launcher.

Thanks for the quick responses. I never thought of having one custom made, i worry about the sound in that case. I will listen to what you guys suggested and see what way to go.

I went with SRT, but Nameless and Perrin were both high on my list of possibilities. Happy with my SRT even though it is very loud.
