I love both exhausts, but for different reasons.

*shrugs*

I had the full 3" catless stromung on my sti, it was pretty quiet by my standards. Although the prodrive does have a larger muffler, so it prob gets the nod

I still love my Prodrive. Quiet when it should be yet loud enough to let you know it's there when you open it up. The Oval tip also has an OEM appearance. I've never been hassled by the cops over exhaust.

Also no highway drone at all. In a wagon, this is especially good.

why bother getting an axleback exhaust system that looks close to stock and is super quiet? U might as well stick with stock

But since u said you're looking into jdm, none of the exhausts mentioned above is jdm, except the Fujitsubo's that have been mentioned.

+1 I've had the old-school Prodrive-Scorpion oval on mine for almost 4 years. No hassle. Nice and mellow.

Yup, Prodrive for me too! It boils down to your personal preferences.
