I'm trying to turn my car into a "sleeper." With all the exhaust systems out there.. it's hard to decide which would best fit my car. I want a catback that offers the greatest power gains w/o all the LOUD *** noises. I'm looking for one with a deep, deep tone but with a relatively nice purrr-(nothing anoyying.. like a honda weed eater..) I have heard people mention that the JIC titanium exhaust has a good deep tone and is good performance wise, but it's Loud... I think a mp, dp, maybe w/ a borla muffler would help out to quiet things down some. Any suggestions? What exhaust has the greatest power increase?-(and is quiet, or can be made EXTREMELY quiet.) What type of mp would be best to make things extra quiet.. resonated mp? Would adding mp, dp, borla mess up or restrict air flow to cause the exhaust not to reach its highest potential? I just need some help on picking out an exhaust, mp, dp, and borla to make my car "stealth" and still using a powerful exhaust. Thanks alot.

Adding a Borla shouldn't decrease any flow, and it'll quiet things down a bit. The Racing Beat Dual is prolly the quietest exhaust you will be able to get... unless of course you run 4" to the stock muffler. I don't know the power differences from the RB dual compared to others though...

RB Dual sound slike a normal car idling, even when you get on it hard it doesnt get close to annoying or overly loud. It has a noticeable tone to it though.

Will a JIC titanium catback w/ dp, mp (resonated) and borla race muffler be even close to the quietness of a RB or M2? but.. what about performance? Will the RB dual have the same power gains the JIC ti?

Its just common sense more free flowing will = more power. There is no dispute that an RB or M2 will yield less power than the JIC set up. But there is also no dispute that the JIC will be a lot louder than the RB/M2 cb. I've heard a JIC vs RB on the same car (setup with DP, stock cat) and the JIC was louder.
