I like the sound of the Apexi full catback.
@initial problem with Apexi is I'll need to swap the diffuser in order to accomodate the quad tip. Although I love the look and sound of apexi, I don't want to spend over $800-1k

@vr408 Since you are in California, be careful with the legality of such systems:. Do your own (legal) research and be informed before installing one.
California Vehicle Code

§ 27150. Adequate muffler required

(a) Every motor vehicle subject to registration shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise, and no muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar device.

Yeah, I got annoyed by loud cars and motorcycles nowadays, maybe I'm getting old. I've listened to a few catback videos on YouTube and none of them interests me anymore. They're okay but not something I would put on my GS.

Some people in my neighborhood straight piped their G35s, Mustangs, and Challengers and they all sound annoying as hell. Plus they like to rev it and gun it hard in the neighborhood, thinking they're cool. Those cars sound like they're doing 100+ but only doing 5MPH. 😂 Yuck!

I guess loud exhausts are not my thing anymore.

If you're willing to get the apexi, you can prob bring the exhaust to a muffler shop and they can just cut off the quad tips and put on something similar to the oem one that sits behind the diffuser.
