Ditto on the Tanabe Touring, ZERO drone on my wagon. MEGA drone with the Hush and catless dp though...

Mm i have titek catless downpipe w/ a greddy evo2 cbe and it's pretty quiet. it's mellow but at the same time you can hear it's quite deep. on the freeway it won't really bug you and the only time it'll roar is at WOT.

The turboxs stealth back to their muffler, the stock muffler, or the Prodrive WRSport oval tip will be a quiet enough combo.

I have the prodrive and it's only loud when I want it to be loud.

You could also go with a downpipe and a QTP cutout... just open 'er up when you wanna make your power and be loud. If you get pulled over when you're using all of your power then chances are the sound of your exhaust is the least of your worries.

Sat in my buddy's bone stock STi except for his RSR and my protuned stage 2 catless with Tanabe Touring is still quieter. Keep in mind, exhausts sound way louder from inside of a wagon. His RSR sounded really mean though, haha.
