best turboback exhuast no matter what the price?

I am looking for the best turboback exhuast no matter what the price. Most important are that it bolts in perfectly and provides the most hp. I have been looking at HKS but am wondering how loud it is and also what downpipe goes with it. I also don't want any CEL's. Let me know your thoughts!

Didn't TPR do a test on the exhaust that made the most power? I think the Buschur exhaust and the Magnaflow Titanium exhausts came away with the top honors.

Here's the TPR shoot-out review.........these were all evaluated as cat-backs hooked up to the stock cat & DP.

Magnaflow Ti followed by Buschur came out on top for power, though there's not much in it to be honest.

Greddy Ti is also a nice exhaust (not evaluted here) if you're looking for an ultra-lightweight catback.

magnoflow ti is the best tested catback but is also like 1200, i havnt seen anyone on this forum cough up the money for it yet, and the greddy ti is nice at only 9 pounds but is loud and is to short for perfect fitment

i check the ams exhaust on their website..the price is good for the quality that they have.
its got flange all the way instead of slip fit like the one i have, and the holder is double rip instead of single like the one i have.( you can bend that thing easy,and thickness is important too)
mine is RNR...i like it but seems like ams is better overall...
and the position of the muffler at the end is centered.
if i do it again to my evo...i would go with them....
i could tell by just looking at the picture of their exhaust...

Magnaflow Ti is really nice. It's made in Japan to Magnaflow's USDM specs so it clears the rear bumper (unlike the Greddy Ti) and shouldn't cause bumper melt/discolouration if you're running without a cat.

It's also been reduced in price to around $895, which is probably similar to the Greddy Ti. It weighs around 12 lbs versus Greddy's ~10 lbs.
