Should I go with:

1. A'PEXi World Sport II

http://www.mach1car.com/Product.aspx...16-KN07+++++++

2. Tanabe Super Medalion Hyper Spec

http://www.mach1car.com/Product.aspx?nav=4&p=T4073Z

Note: Pictures don't necessarily reflect actual exhaust. They both look about the same.

Also, what's the Part # on the ones pictured above? I want to make sure I'm ordering the correct thing (if I choose to do so).

Thanks.

Thumbs up

So I got it installed today....My first impressions on the drive home on city streets with the driver window down and just the ac on:

-At startup, this exhaust is only slightly louder than my '05 stock exhaust.
-there is now a deeper tone to the car....
-at idle, its pretty quiet...almost like stock
-when cruising at a constant speed, you can detect a deeper tone....i guess its a slightly low drone sound...not bad....i'm sure it'll be unnnoticeable if the radio is on....
-when i pressed on the gas.....the exhaust gave more of a deeper/throatier note.....not too loud.....
-I can no longer hear my Z-tube...all exhaust sound now....
-I'm sure after its break in period it will get slightly louder

Overall, I'm happy with it.... .....I would recommend this exhaust to any one looking for an exhaust thats not too loud and gives a noticeable deeper sound.

I think I will be getting the Tanabe y-pipe later on to finish off the system.....

Isn't there a smaller (100mm, or about 4 inches) tip you can get? Is that exhaust a different part number?

I think that's the sizing for the sedan version of the exhaust.

I hope not. 4.5" seems about .5" too big to me.
