I'm backing up the RPI exaust 100%.
Great sound, great performance.
Put the scoops in the front and you're golden.
I don't think RPI exaust is "the flavor of the month" I do think it's a great product.

Eisenmann Race is one of the loudest I've ever heard. Street is probably on par with RPI. However, RPI has a much sweeter tone to it. You still get the high pitch F1 V10 sound from the car, just like a Ferrari/Lambo, when the car is under load. That's why I like RPI.

Which is not very loud?
I think the best exhaust out there right now is the RPI (performance & sound)
but it may be too aggressive for what you are looking for.
