Default EXHAUST'S....Let's Talk About The Options!!

Im looking to replace mine b/c I would like to get a decent tone out of it. After looking at some systems (correct me if Im wrong) gains and not all that much for us no matter who / what we go with? That they are all +-1-2 from each other's "claimed" number! So Im assuming the real differences are looks and sound?

Im completely new the IS scene so hoping to hear back from alot of you with knowledge on this! Especially first-hand experience, we all know what usually happens when / if you go by he said she said

So Im looking for a system that has a very nice sound, a growl, and a nice look since so much of it is visible!!! BUT two things that I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT from an exhaust is a huge tip that you could fit your head into or shoot grapefruits out of! I especially DO NOT want that horrible / typical tone that 80% of the imports are running around with, sounding like a weed-whacker on steroids!

What are my options? A nice tone with a can that does not hang down 8 inches or that a grapefruit nor someone's head could fit into the tip!

Suggests, comments, feedback good and bad...all would be appreciated alot!

oh and when I mean a nice tone, Im not afraid of one that is going to have some volume to it. I would like a deeper tone or growl sound for the IS. Im just not looking for that God awful one toned exhaust. Im sure you guys know what Im talking about, they are everywhere. No matter how much throttle is on the tone is the same!

Weeeeeeeeeeee-Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee-biiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiing-biiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Greddy Evo, HKS Dragger & Hyper, Tanabe, JIC, Blitz, L sportsline, all have good tones. I personally like Greddy.

JIC all the way. I've heard the titanium and stainless and was amazed. I know a couple guys around here had fitment issues with the Greddy. Probably not common though. JIC had the looks and the sound.
