Need help deciding on an exhaust!!

ok so i wanna get this espelir jgt500 exhaust my friend recommended but i dont know how loud its gonna be. i dont mind it being loud but too loud might not fly in my neighborhood. ive got a catless bellmouth dp so i know thats gonna be a factor as well. i need opinions and help from you wise people. i just want that deep rumble everyone has without annoying everyone or gettin a sweet ticket :-(

This is what meets are for. Check your local area forum for meets, start meeting people and listen to everyone's exhaust to make a decision. Everyone's willing to talk about their car or show off their exhaust, so just ask people.

You can listen to clips on the internet and listen to people explain their exhaust noises all day long, but you never really know until you hear it in person.

unless you drive like a retard redlining all the time your most likely not going to get a ticket for your exhaust. my exhaust is loud as ****..not to mention my blow off valve. never even been asked by a cop about either and ive been pulled over MANY times.

as far as exhausts go, i really like the sound of HKS. (hi power or carbon ti catback depending on your dp)

apexi/invidia n1 would probably be my next choice

Perrin Stealth Black in "Street" config is an excellent choice.
