Exclamation Exhaust Question

Hey new guy here not sure if this is where you would make this post but giving it a shot.

Just bought my STI 3 weeks ago and first thing i want to do is put an exhaust system on it. I have an 06 bone stock. I want turboback and was thinking about the Cobb turboback. any suggestions or words of wisdom to keep with CObb or go another type of system?
Let me know

Thanks

The Cobb tbe is a great exhaust. Stock looking and not too loud. Try to hear some different exhausts in person so you can get a better idea of what they will sound like. Youtube vids dont do anything justice

Not sure if you already bought one or not, but I've always like the APS TBE, I have a maddad setup which is pretty quiet. If I ever change up, will probably goto the APS for just a little more sound.

What price range are you looking at? HKS Carbon-Ti is a pretty nice deep sound.

price range isnt a huge issue cuz im either going after the cobb stage 2 or a catback dp and header combo so yeah i want all the exhaust done at once. cuz i dont plan on modding much more after that. i was looking at the hks i like that too it is pretty sweet.

I have the Greddy Evo2 exhaust and love it. Its fairly quiet at idle but sounds nice when you get on it. It does have a small taper where it mates to the DP but didnt affect performance that much. Its all preference on what you like and end up picking up.
