If you like music, enjoy the company of others in your car, or value your hearing, don't get a NUR Spec. Driving behind another car that had this exhaust sent vibrations thru my entire car.

Nur spec isn't bad. It's the Nur Spec R. And that his hardly anything compared to my Trust lmao. Honestly having a straight pipe made w/ a resonator and muffler wouldn't be bad if you want to keep it manageable.

Because I have heard of the Spec C, and the Spec R... Do you know what the difference would be?

No it's not that loud. It's decently loud but it just has a different tone because the Spec R is non resonated because it's the "race" version. so straight all the way back to the muffler. I have my trust exhaust which is even louder than my buddies Spec R and it's really not that bad driving it. It's just that my car is ridiculously loud.
If you want it resonated get the nur spec. If you don't care and want it louder and drone then get the spec R

If that sounds appealing to you, you should just have a straight pipe made then. Wouldn't be much different and cheaper buying than new or used Nur Spec R

All in all its up to you. Your preference, your pockets, your tolerability for sound.
I don't mind my exhaust because I'm always playing music, and I've gotten used to my extremely loud setup. I had my buddy drive my car the other day and I almost wanted to get rid of it because even a mile something down the road I could still hear my car. Especially on WOT. I do have drone because it's non-resonated, and it was expensive.
Pick what style muffler you like best, whether its can, canister or none. and do a lot of research and go out to meets and reach out and see if you can find anyone in your area that has something similar to what you want because sound clips on youtube NEVER sound like the real deal.
But to answer your original question, get a good up-pipe, a good turbo back, manual or electronics boost control solenoid and get it tuned. As far as exhaust goes, I really like Eds Cross pipe and up-pipes.
