Default Which exhaust??

I'm looking at changing my exhaust these are options I've found thinking maybe Remus but not sure

Factory JCW - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v96wWuWLDXg

Milltek - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJBSopPD65A

Remus - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGY3NZ7CqCA

I also like the look of the HKS one but can't find any video's of it or the other option is to go for a custom made one by a local specialist who make systems for Porsche's what does everyone think??

thats a tuffy as the first one looks like it was shot inside so it would seem louder , the second one was a little quiet for me although the sound quality might of been down a tad and the third was loud but again sound quality lacked ,if i had to choose out of the clips it would be the JCW mate but i think that janspeed one sounded good that we listened to that time

Yeah I really liked the sound of Janspeed mate but I discovered it was on a Japanese MINI and have contacted Janspeed with no joy so not sure if it really was a Janspeed or not here is clip for those who are interested

I've always been a fan on Miltek exhausts, think they sound really throaty but it's hard to tell from the quality of the videos.
Like Paul said though, the Janspped one did sound nice when you played it at the R57 launch evening

Just found some details on HKS exhaust from a place just up the road from me, no video still but looking at pics looks very similar to Janspeed one so wondering if it was actually an HKS?

The Remus is the nicest sounding one out of the initial three - the Miltek and JCW look the best though. The JCW does come a very close second IMO but just sounds a little bit too much like a Massey-Ferguson (may be just the vid though).

I would go for the JCW and then get some custom engraving on the tips...

Out of the 3 sound clips i think the Remus one sounded the best. Its down to personal taste of sound and style. I think you might be better off speaking to Torque Developments or Hayward & Scott and finding out what they can do for you.
