Question Best Sounding & Looking Exhaust

I’m sure this has been asked before but oh well. Whats the best sounding & looking exhaust on the market now for the P5? I want a system that doesn’t sound like a bunch of pissed off bumble bee’s in a garbage can!

How much did you pay for the Bosal Cat-back system, and where did you get it. I plan to get one for my P5 when i get it this Saturday

Bosal all the way. But, Im waiting on some information & pics & prices & Fitment on the JIC cat backs which I think are going to be great. But, I am sure they will be quite a bit more!

Magnaflow

Go with magnaflow man, good stuff, I just odered mine tonight, my buddy has one on his mazda, and it sounds crazy, it's got a nice deep growl to it, sends shivers down your spine, i've posted the link to the one i'm getting, it's the one at the bottom the 14830, i'm getting it for 260$cnd(cost price) and all magnaflow exausts come with a life time warranty, if you wanna know all about it check out my buddy's website, and e-mail him, www.grandmotors.ca and he can tell you everything good about this exaust.

WHat does the Bosal resonate at? Im window shoping and what I want is something that rumbles at an idle. I love the sound of a flowmaster muffler when still.

I have an arospeed muffler, the same as an OBX and I get looks all the time. I have had it for about 3 months and it is still very deep. Actually if you have tokyo extreme racer zero for PS2, it sounds like the skyline R34( Blue one ) in the begining of the game. I couldn't believe it. I love it.

I had chance to compare(loudest first to quietest)
Dynomax(low but loud)
Rhino(low and not very loud)
Bullett(low and not very loud)
Magnaflow(low and not very loud)
Remus(low and not loud at all)
Remus is just a dream, but they are pricey and not widely available. Go with magnaflow.
Even if muffler happens to be too noisy it's alwais possible to weld in glasspack to act as silencer.

I should be getting a Magnaflow on my car soon. I'll let you know how it sounds / looks. As for the Bosal, all you're paying for is the ability to have it bolt right on, for an extra $230 CAN or so! I'd rather save my money and get a custom system, professionally installed. Just my $0.02

Just to provide a counter argument it is also polished which looks great, and it has been tuned specifically for the car. I'm talking about the bosal.
