Default Exhaust suggestions?

Im looking into upgrading the exhaust on my rcf. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what brands have some that will look as close to stock as possible but sound a lot better? I would like to stay under 2500 including parts and installation if possible but if it goes a little over its okay. Im thinking a cat back will be sufficient but let me know your opinions. And if anyone one here knows a good place to get them installed in the Atlanta or Athens Ga, that would also be great!

Thanks!

Remove the resonator. Will sound 10 times better, no drone and will cost max $100.

Agree with above.

Worth a try if you wanted some more sound. Not obnoxious.
If you don't like it then upgrade for aftermarket exhaust.
Search for resonator delete and there are videos and testimonials. No regerts.
Only con is that you'll be pressing on the gas more and your mpg will go down to hear that sweet sweet sound.

Only exhaust I think would look close to stock is the invidia which seems priced about $1100. Could paint the cans black so not shiny stainless steel. Tips are oval and in the same orientation. The tips on most everything else are round.

For me, it was down to Borla and Ark. I just got the Borla today, will have it installed on Tuesday.
I'll followup on Tuesday on the sound. Main reason for choosing Borla over Ark is the sound. I didn't hear it in person but seen many videos.

Can't wait!

I don't know how I missed the resonator delete thread(s). I realize an exhaust swap is overall the way to go, but I have a lot of expenses coming up and this may satisfy me for 6 months or so. I'm going to do a search for a local shop and get this done today.

Please carry on with the exhaust suggestions and maybe why you chose that particular one.

Get the BORLA from us and after installation, you'll still be about $1000 under your budget!

I suggest you get the Borla! I can show you tons of videos of mine and others with the Borla if you're on the fence, find me on IG @soneshsofresh . You honestly can't beat it... the price, the simple bolt on, the sound. It's truly IMO the best exhaust for the RCF right now (Meisterschaft too, but at 5k+ it's in a league of it's own)

I can't decide on what to get either. But the Armytrix set up did sound good.
