Default catback question

i recently bought a 1998 Integra gs coupe. the previous owner had instaled an AEM CAI, DC header, and a ractive exhaust. the exhaust rattles a little bit and i can hear it when i shift, and i dont really like how the exhaust sounds now to begin with. (i feel a little ricey driving around with just a muffler on the teg) My question is how does the skunk2 catback compare to the rsr in sound and performance?
what other catbacks would you recommend in the same price range or a little bit lower? Im looking for something with a nice deep smooth tone, nothing too loud and raspy, but more of a clean look and sound.

skunk2 exhaust is really loud and imo sounds bad. get an n1 if you want to get a straight threw exhaust that sounds decent. I have the T1R

I have an Apexi WS2 Exhaust on my car! I LOVE IT. And not to be rude, but it doesnt sound anywhere near stock. Have u ever heard an integra that is really gunning it with a straight-through aftermarket exhaust and as it revs higher and higher, it gets REALLY loud and sounds like the muffler is resonating too much and the engine is throwing up on itself? the Apexi WS doesnt sound like that, and it will never sound like that for the life of the engine. It gets loud if ur really racing, trust me, but any exhaust that doesnt hurt ur hearing from inside or outside of the automobile is a quality exhaust IMO.

also, the WS2 sounds so sweeeet in parking garages...<3

thanks for all the input. my teg has this incredibly annoying rattle in it, and im not completely sure what its from. after my car warms up, it doesnt rattle nearly as much as when i first start driving. i have a feeling it could be from the fact that its just a muffler and might not be put on too great, or something may have come loose from bottoming out here and there??

I have an Apexi WS2 and it is the best buy I have made for my car yet. No regrets and it sounds nice.
