A Catback thats good and not to loud?

i have a injen cai and a y pipe, and i guess i need a good catback exhaust to get the air out quicker but i dont want to be to noisy with it, i hear alot of catbacks on the street and they are just annoying, so any1 know which one is good and not to loud?

the apexi WS is pretty silent, and the OBX comes with a silencer (but ive never heard a clip with it in). the OBX is 2.25 inch piping and the WS is 2.5 inch.

or u can get ur exhaust and stuff it with steel wool, it works preaty well and it increases your back pressure a little.

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yeah you get back pressure, for what good reason, but the gasses have no other way to go but back into the engine...

I think that its stupid to jsut get the CATback. it doesnt give you nearly as much gains as the y-pipe... unless you jsut want to make your car "sound" nice... otherwise the catback would be after the ypipe, and then 99% of the 'performance' catbacks out there will not be "quiet". If you want quiet, just keep that stock muffler.

hey nismo, whats up... how do you liek your suspension setup? It must be better than what you had before huh.. Yea, I addeda few more things since last time I saw you at Toms... And yea, the stillen is annoying, especially when you have people in the car... Try talking to them when you are goign up a hill at 2.5k rpm. impossible
