GReddy TI Exhaust - Any EX owners in here?
I'm facing a bit of dilema here.. I've had a full TBE consisting of an HKS DP, cat delete and finished with a GReddy TI for about a year now. The car sounds GREAT, looks GREAT and I love the power the combo provides aswell. I think the Greddy TI as just a catback is perfectly fine... but as a TBE... things are a bit diffirent...
Problem is, as much as I love the Greddy TI, it's just too loud for daily driving. The moment you step on the gas and start making the turbo work, it gets loud... real loud... like too much attention calling loud. Don't get me wrong, I don't want something as quiet as stock because I do like the sound of a nice deep exhaust, but with how loud the TI is, I can't really drive my car how I want without bringing a bit too much attention to myself.
So I'm looking to switch out my Greddy TI for something else... I would prefer a full 3" exhaust, so I've been looking at the RnR/HKS Carbon TI unit.
Is this setup with my TBE still very loud or will it die down compared to my current setup? I would also consider HKS's straight up Carbon TI unit, but I know its a bit smaller at some spots (2.75 I believe?), but it would also probably be a bit quieter than the RnR/HKS.
Anyway, that's my story... I did search btw for those of who love to tell people to search... but I'm looking for people who have direct experience of having a full Greddy TBE on their car.

I have a HKS carbon Ti that i have completly converted to 3" even inside the muffler, all carbon Ti mufflers shipped to the US are 2.5" inside. I have even cut and welded the Ti tip so that is angles down JDM style, so no black bumper. Wiling to trade, but with my modifications it is loud, but not as loud as my friends Greddy Ti.

I might soon be an ex greddy ti owner... I drove around with a catless greddy ti on stock dp and its too damn loud for 70+ mile a day highway driving. I put my stock cat converter back on and i think it's still too loud sometimes.
I bought greddy ti cuz of its low weight, cuz I wanted something nice for my evo and cuz I was a newbie and was stupid and wanted LOUD exhaust.
Now the truth hurts... my ears. I might put my stock midpipe back on and getta buschur axle back and might getta 2.5 inch test pipe. I heard that exhaust setup aint too bad.
I don't wonna pay another 500 bux for a quieter exhaust and I'm stock anyways so the axle back should do fine.
