My top 3 turboback choices - I need your input!

I've narrowed my top 3 turbo-back choices down to CP-E, UR, and TurboXS.
Would the cost savings of buying the TurboXS be worth it?
How loud is the UR turbo-back in its quietest form? (cat-back with resonated midpipe and mini-muffler and ceramic high flow cat for best noise reduction)
Is ground clearance an issue with the CP-E exhaust? It seems to hang significantly lower than the aforementioned exhausts.
I need your input! Thanks.

Why restrict your exhaust? I wouldnt go with any of them, but thats just me. If your gonna drive a turbo car get an exhaust that has absolutely no restrictions and as little bends as possible. I mean Idk what your laws are in NY but resonated this and mini that just sounds like a bunch of restrictions. I know in MI I don't have emissions, so I have no need for a cat or anything else. If your looking for a quieter exhaust I know Buschur makes one with 2 mulfflers or something like that and its very very quiet for what I remember. I like the Jun Bl myself which was my first choice, but car came with a Buschur exhaust so why pay for another one ya know.

My DC Sports catback is extremely quiet, just a touch louder than stock unless you really get on it.

I wouldnt suggest it though, my fitment is BRUTAL. The resonator hits the drivesahft creating a tinging noise. Brought the car to an exhaust shop and they adjust all the hangers, still rubs the drivesahft from time to time. The Exhaust is also 2.75" not full 3".

Hopefully when I add my test pipe I can work a little magic and create .5" away from the driveshaft. Otherwise i'm going to be forced to heat up the exhaust and bend it

I have my car lowered on Swift springs with the CP-e catback (didn't install the downpipe or hi flo yet) and I don't have any issues with the exhaust scraping the ground. The only issue I have with it is adjusting the left-side exhaust to get it even with the right side. If you have someone helping you, this shouldn't be an issue.

The UR exhaust is LOUD, even in it's quietest form, as it currently stands.

CP-E is pretty damn loud too with the test pipe. It definitely has quieted down after initially installing it, but it can rattle against the drive shaft if you don't adjust the hangers. CP-E or UR has to be the only choices of the 3, I wouldn't consider any TurboXS parts.

i know this is off topic but i love my DC sports exhaust..but i was running into the same problem as you just removed one of the rubber hanger dropped the exahust just enough so it doesnt rub anymore and is still be held inplace. Have had it like this for about 4 months now and have had zero problems

...he could straight pipe it to a Vibrant muffler, sell it for $50 less than AMS and call it a day

My jaw hit the floor when I found out that the AMS exhausts are fabricated out of Vibrant parts (obviously they've done the welding and bending themselves, but that's something I could get done at a good muffler shop for a fraction of the price).

UR is the loudest, but CP-E runs smoother with less rasp. Skip the TurboXS

I LOVE my UR exhaust and its only a catback right now. i have the midpipe with the mini muffler and its not too loud, but not too quiet. It has a nice growl at the low end and sounds pretty sweet at WOT. Can't wait to finish it up.

The DC Sport sounds pretty nice with my UR Downpipe and HFC. Its a bit quiet stock but people will hear you coming with the DP and HFC.

Not sure why there's so much hate for the TurboXS. I guess nobody can accept that somebody can make as good of a product for less $? Oh well... I've had no issues and wouldn't pay a penny more for anybody else's product.
