considering the greddy spectrum elite

hey guys
because of my budget, i was considering the greddy spectrum elite, its only $520 and has them sexy titanium tips however as you know its only the muffler. im not really downed by that, since it looks good and its a good price. for those that have this exhaust, how does it sound? im trying to find an exhaust that would stay true to the stock sound ( it can be louder, as long as it dont sound like a rice cannon). only mod i have on my car right now is the 5/16 spacers. also would the installation be basiically unbolt and bolt on the rear? thansk for your help.

Also interested in hearing opinions on this. It would be paired with an HR y-pipe, but otherwise completely stock. Looking at the SP2 as well, since I'm not really feeling burnt TI.

besides it not being loud, how would you compare it to stock?

i know he said its better then stock to him. what i want to know is how it is compared to stock, not if it sbetter, like on idle is it louder, and he says its not as loud as he wants, but if its louder then stock, does it retain any stock sound whatsoever. i watch the youtube video and have a sense of how it sounds in person, but videos dont do justice.

sadly it does stick out longer than stock. if u have a aftermarket rear bumper or a diffuser, it will look better.

I have the trust exhaust for sale which is the JDM version of this. Its only 1 of 3 in America and its full titanium construction instead of just the tips. Let me know if youre interested.

any way to make it sit flush? I love the exhaust, but the exhaust poking out like that looks weird

03' track... Soon to be race car.
if you like the greddy, take look at the tanabe medalion touring....its a couple hundred dollars more i think, but the piping is 70mm instead of the 60mm greddy piping. and its a midpipe back exhaust(im not sure if the greddy is or not).
