Recommendations on exhaust set-ups

I've been researching as of exactly what I would want for my exhaust and I am just left puzzled everytime because I'm afraid of that awful ricer sound I hear all the time. Can someone recommend me as I would call it "the perfect Exhaust"? I have quite a few benjamin franklins waiting patiently to be spent. I have an idea of what I was going to get but, I just want something that respectably loud, but driving on the highway I can still hear music. Suggestions?

for a good sound w/no rasp, custom is the only way to go.

get a borla xr-1 race muffler for the resonator, and a borla turbo series for the tail, and you will have a nice low note, with no rasp at all... even wide open all the way to 7k, no rasp.

I have an Intence header (dont buy), ZZP cat and Thermal cat back. Best sounding setup I have heard yet.

If you have about $1600 bones, then you could have the whole Hahn setup. i did not spend that much, but i got it through the group buy on ss.net. i am sure there are cheaper setups that sound good. i have had thermal before and i can't find any fault with them

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I have about 1500 to blow, but I dont know if I want to spend it all on an exhaust. I was thinking maybe a H/E and a 2.7 pully for my Stage II as well. Only problem is finding the hardware to mount the thing as I have read on other threads someone went to Home Depot and found something? Hmm, could be a fun interesting project, but I'm really liking the Idea right here:

t a borla xr-1 race muffler for the resonator, and a borla turbo series for the tail, and you will have a nice low note, with no rasp at all... even wide open all the way to 7k, no rasp.

I appreciate it guys. Thanks for all the suggestions.

if i had to do it all over again, i would go with the cooling mods first. the dual pass endplate (option B) and the H/E from LFP. heat soak is a bitch, but the deal on the Hahn was too good to pass up
