i'm thinking about getting exhaust, but i DO NOT want to sound like a ricer! so with that said, what options are out there that will give me a nice, deep sound.
Maybe its me....
Seriously, during the many years I spent living abroad in Asia and Europe I can remember only ONE time I heard an aftermarket exhaust on a 6 or 4 cylinder that sounded nice and deep. It was on a BMW though and it wasn't an M3.

Just ordered the Supersprint exhaust and should arrive in a week. According to the members, Supersprint manufactured exhaust for Hartge and RDsport so I assume they are good(including the sound). I will post pictures and sound clip after installed.

Continuing my post whoring today I decided to post a couple of videos I just made with my exhaust. 
The first one is a cold start up and idle. The second one is after warming up I reved it up a bit so you can hear the tone. These videos do this no justice. It sounds much more impressive in person. At least those of you that were curious will get the idea. Anyway, enjoy...
COLD START UP:
WARM AND REV IT UP!

Get the dual tips and go with Magnaflow. I have a place here in OC that does a great job.

for those of you who has the Magnaflow #14862, did they have to do any additional work to align the pipes correctly? or did it just line up and just needed to be welded on?

i'm happy with it, love the sound!
