Best sounding duel Cat-Back with no drone under $500?

I have looked at most of the threads and listened to most of the clips( can't tell crap from those). I know it is a personal thing,but here is what I am looking for deep and moderatly louder sound with LITTLE to NO Drone. I am only looking at spending $500 or less + install. Since I am only looking for a sound change and I am doing not further mods, I can't justify $1000+ on this. I know people will say spend the money on suspention, but I have that already.
Thank-you,
Jeffy'

The only way to have a quality exhaust for $500 is to have a extremely good muffler shop build it with Magnflow's x-pipe and mufflers/tips using 2 1/2" ID pipe. You're correct the vids you see/hear don't really give you the true sound, you need to attend meets and hear systems in person....Gary

Aftermarket exhausts retail about $1,000.00 +, up to about $1,500.00 on average. Any product that you can buy at less than 50% used might not be worth bothering with overall. You're better off spending those $500 on other breathing mods. Personally, I don't think that my aftermarket exhaust is the best breathing mod I have, just saying.

Topspeed pro n1 exhaust. You can get them for around 400-500. They sound really nice.

My advice is to try the used market. Keep an eye out.

Some Nismo's and Fujitsubo's have gone for cheap. The Fujitsubo is a "quiet" exhaust.

Grab the cheapest HKS-style knockoff you can find on eBay and have a Magnaflow x-pipe added. Should add up to less than your $500 price range.

+1 I'd get a catback for my G if I could find a solid one around the $500 ish range used. The MD ones are way more than i'm willing to pay.

The Fujitsubo is quieter than stock if my memory and youtube serve correctly...
