My ideal exhaust question

Hi guys,

I've recently started modding my car (got wheels and all this month) and I'm planning on an exhaust upgrade next month.

However, I still can't find that "perfect" exhaust that suits my needs and tastes. I'm posting here in hopes that one of you can help me answer that

My ideal exhaust would have to fulfill these requirements:
Loud but not EXCESSIVELY loud
Deep tone
Noticeable but would still like to be able to hold a conversation with my passenger
No drone
Catback

Thanks guys

probably the injen, invidia n1, perrin , or Greddy evo3(although I've heard its the loudest). you could also get a quiet exhaust like the q300 and get new fron pipe and over pipe to increase the volume. also whats your price range? you might think about asking the guys at http://ft86speedfactory.com/ as they've tried out a lot of exhaust combinations.

I say Perrin resonated. I had a resonated MXP but that was too loud so went Perrin and could not be happier. Good tone, not too loud but can tell there is an aftermarket muffler.

But I only have experience with the stock, MXP, and then the Perrin.

Surprisingly the EBay J2 quad exhaust with borla headers, catless front pipe sounds amazing. STI rumble..

I think that the M7 T-titan catback has by far the best sound.
