Anybody have experience with the Dinan system that is a one sided as well, The fit looks awesome on their site but I am more curious about sound. Does anyone know?
Thanks
Ok I am curious, everyone is saying that the magnaflow exhaust is the best one in terms of sound, but I saw one this past weekend at a Thunderhill track day and it seemed like they only make them for the 02-03. What about a magnaflow for the 04-06? Did they not make one for this model? Also it seemed a lot quieter than I was expecting but maybe the guy jsut was not at full throttle. he he. Does anyone have any personal sound clips other than the original ones posted? Thanks and any help or info is appreciated.
ABT - Would you mind updating the first post to include some new info regarding exhausts? I've compiled some of the info here (most of this is not my own material):
Invidia
All stainless steel, with flame treated (blue) titanium tips. 05+ must use a zip tie for 1 hanger, or else must modify the hanger.
photos: 1234567
sound clips: 12
When I was looking around, I could not find a decent sound bite of a borla. The one found in many places is the madness car (I think) at the race track.
OBX Catback exhaust
Got it installed, it will take a little to truely determine what I tink about it but here are my impressions so far.
Pros:
1) price 299.00
2) Assembly system is in 4 pieces allows for fine tuning.
3) Sound – deep and acceptable under 4,000 rpm
4) Tips look great sticking out the back .
5) Nice finish on the parts.
6) Mufflers tuck way up and are not visible.
Cons:
1) Not a true “catback” – you need the entire stock straight pipe.
2) Assembly system is in 4 pieces can be a pain in the ass to get everything lined up.
3). Sound – 5,000 rpm it gets louder and 6,000 to redline its dam loud.
4) Incomplete – 6” “connection piece” is 2.5” diameter and stock pipe is 2.25”.
5) Clamps are lowest quality.
I would have preferred less sound but sound and age seem to go hand in hand. My son who is 15 loved it but it’s more than I wanted. BUT normal driving its very pleasant actually and when you hoop on the throttle it transforms to race mode.
Installation
You need to do this at Midas mufflers who can produce the piece to connect your stock exhaust straight pipe to the system. The piece in the kit does NOT fit. The clamps are the cheapest and I opted to buy SS clamps.
The exhaust tips are connected by a small piece of metal welded to each tip. Mine broke within the first hour. The metal piece connecting the tips was small and inferior. I had it re-welded and add an extra piece of metal connecting the two tips welded on as well.
Overall, I can’t complain for 299.00 plus freight plus install. If I had to do it all over again, I would reconsider the budget (i.e. allocate more), I'm sure there are 500-600 dollar systems it beats and those that it does not.
I give it a C+. I gave the Header a B-.
sound clips at bahamabart gallery - don't know how to attach
I got the B and B exaust last week. pretty easy to put it on. i did have access to a lift and the help of 3 friends that knew what they were doing. Mine has the big single tip (boxter look). after the first test run i did have the tip to close to the bumper and it started to melt. i've pointed it a little down for now. in a week or so i'll move it up little by little making sure the plastic doesn't melt.
it isn't as loud as i had expected. i'm thankful for that.

it really depends on what your looking for in an exhaust system. each system offers something different. IMO in terms of power/torque gains: WMS, Milltek, or Magnaflow.

Above link is a video clip for the Mille Miglia catback exhaust.
It's an Australian company and for me it sounds very nice.
Kind of dark so cannot see well but just check out the sound.
I will try to take better picture and video clip soon.

Very nice!!! Understated, but throaty and powerful! Where can I get one and how much do they run?
– 6” “connection piece” is 2.5” diameter and stock pipe is 2.25”. 
Thank you COOPERation!
