Also you can opt for stainless steel piping that the WS2 doesn't have. The WS2 has coated mild steel piping and rots after a few years.

I would say the ws2.

Tanabe is good to but the can is big, but does have a nice tone to it.

What about a JDM Sport Catback? Has anyone heard anything about that one?

I'm assuming you found that on ebay, with an unbelievably cheap pricetag. h:

I guessed right...I would not trust a no name exhaust system. First off, they come with canster mufflers, which will produce a fart-cannon sound. Second , quality is very questionable for a $140 catback. I would rather buy a used catback made by a reputable manufacturer

hectic_1 do u know wat brand u want to go for? cuz i wouldn't get one of those ebay knock exhaust cuz idk if it will hurt the car. i would get a reputable manf like line7 said.

But im still gonna stick with my tanabe either medallion or concept g. The price for the concept g is looking good for me. Ppl told me to go with greddy but i want sumthing that is not loud but at the same time i will notice sum power gain. but my #1 priority is not a loud fart can and a nice sound. and i dont want the hassle of slapping on a silencer.
