Default Apexi World Series vs. Greddy SP

I have a 1995 GS-R 4dr and i want a new exhaust. I had a P.O.S. ractive exhaust installed way back a year ago and it didnt pass state inspection because it was a P.O.S. lol so I want a new one. Ive been looking at Apexi World Series exhausts for my car and Greddy SP exhausts also. WHy? because ive heard they're quiet. The ractive exhaust i had on my car for a maximum of 2 days was so loud i almost went deaf. Should i get an Apexi WS or Greddy SP exhausts? The WS is cheaper than the SP, but I think I have to make my mind up this time and not blow my money like I did with the Ractive P.O.S.

Oh yea, and my cat is welded onto my current exhaust. Is there a way i can get a new cat that just bolts onto the new exhaust and headers? if so, what kind is there and where can i find it the cheapest?

The Greddy SP is slightly louder and has a deeper tone than the WS.

A'PEXi WS does not have stainless steel pipes, GReddy SP (actually right now they've moved on to SP2) does.

So just on that I'd be more inclined to go with the GReddy SP(2).

If you want something as quiet as possible then get an RS*R Exmag as it is both stealthy and full stainless.

I know of a decent amount of people having problems with the SP muffler rusting out. I don't know if that problem has been addressed with the SP2. I haven't had any rusting problems on any of the piping on my Apex'i.

I'm also wondering about this too. Betweent he WS2, SP2, and the RS*R exmag. My coworker has the RS*R for his 240sx. It's kinda loud I think, not really loud, but it got big ass pipe 80mm and a straight through muffler. For honda/acura, I think the piping diameter is smaller, 60mm.

I'm kinda lean toward the WS 2 since I can get it for $430, SP2 for $480, and RS*R is the most expensive of them all $550 I think

Is it a regular Exmag or an Exmag GTII?
