Ive got the RMM and its nice.Not too loud but it has a deep tone to it and there is no low note drone sound when cruising on the h-way.I think there might be mp3's on their site of thier exhaust system sounds, check it out.

I like the Tom's exhaust. It has a very deep tone. No drone on the highway or at cruising. I get more road noise from my tires than from the exhaust. I only wish I could put an MP3 of the exhaust. go to this thread to see some pics

Exhausts
Hey the best Exhausts that I have heard would probally be the
Greddy PE, Magna Flow, Blitz Nur-Spec
I have the Blitz Nur-Spec & love it (Not Loud) jus right. Ya know that low frequency sound Bbbrrruurrr. When my Free-air JL sub hits with a Nice clean bass sound from the inside & a nice tight low frequency bass sound from the Blitz. But dude if I had to try another type it would be the Greddy Performance Exhaust. Nice @as sound real deep & greaty noise.
hope that helps alittle

Another opinion
Some of the guys have mentioned other brands that I haven't heard so I can't comment on them, but I've listened to Borla, L-Tuned and GReddy at a Dallas meet. The Borla was the quietest of those three - yet still sounded nice. Personally, I'd stay away from the L-Tuned - and I've got LT on my GS4 - it sounds great but has an annoying drone at 2k rpms - not just my opinion - do a search and you'll find a bunch of LT owners who also dislike the "drone". I may yet replace my LT with something else.
Your BEST bet is to actually listen - some of the other CA guys would be glad to demo the sounds of their setup. Better yet, go to a meet - don't know where you're located, but there is a meet upcoming at Carson Toyota in LA on Sat. 8/10.

I've personally listened to GReddy PE, APEX WS, APEX universal, L-tuned, Blitz Nur-Spec, Megaflow, RMM, Borla, and other names you've never heard of before on GS3/4.
RMM is quieter than Borla. With Borla, you will have resonance which bugs the hell out of me.

Borla too?
RA - so the Borla has the same resonance (we sometimes call "drone") as the L-Tuned? We've had a lot of reports here on the resonance of the LT - but I didn't know the Borla had the same problem???

Borla Drone
Garnett92,
I had Borla's for about 2 days. I could not take the drone. At the time, I thought that I was the only one that experienced it because everyone else was posting about how much they liked the Borla's, now everyone is complaining. At startup and WOT I loved the sound but at 1500 - 2000 RPM it was hard to handle. Just my $.02
