Garbino Exhaust
Anyone know of a stateside importer that sells these? If I was going to go up the Akrapovic cost side I think I'd go all the way and get these. I thought it was two different sets, not one with two sound 'modes'. The more aggressive setting sounds good IMO.
The Type-X body work isn't bad either.

ra2fanatic installed the Innotech exhaust. Its similar. I didn't look at costs but basically same idea. He went from the Akra to the iPE. Check his build thread and you'll see it. I think its in the early pages of the build IIRC.

Looks like I'm going with the iPE. The sound seems great and from what
I can tell it's a well built system that's still fairly unique here (probably due to price).

I've seen a couple of good comments about that one (and I think one really didn't like it). I checked it out on YouTube but the couple of vids I've been able to find small enough to download here I wasn't a fan of the sound. Granted it's YouTube, but since the others I listened to also had that handicap it didn't come out on top for my tastes. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I can get u the Carpgraphicts Exhaust in the video, valvetronic like the IPE but made in Germany instead of Taiwan

I'll see if I can watch it after work, no vids can show on this one. :/
Edit: Sounds good, although seems to have harsher popping once off the throttle. I'm assuming that's the on or Sport type mode? Think i'd have to stick with the iPE based off that, my wife would not be happy if it was doing that much and I'd like to have her in the car some too. lol

I have heard the IPE before ordering this, IPE is more high pitched
Also keep in mind it was popping so much because the car is a GP(slightly different ECU for more pops and bangs I have heard)
My friend has the same exhaust but catted in his cooper S and it sounds tamer than mine does

bunkerbeezy: Thanks, but if it's still there by the time I get back there's probably something wrong with the car. That or they're asking way too much. But I'll try to remember to check anyway when the time comes. I think both that & the Millteks I saw YouTube vids for had straight-pipe DPs too which won't be the same sound as the one I'd end up with (prefer a high-flow, one reason I like the iPE from the pics I've seen). So it could just be lack of options/downloadability at the moment.
AbsoluteAuto: If your friend gets a vid done at some point post it up, I'd be curious to hear it. No hurry since I still have 5-6 months to wait. :(
I've read some more on various other cars and it does seem a common comment is the iPE is a higher-pitched than the Cargraphics (more of an 'F1' sound). I like deeper better but the iPE doesn't whine either so it comes across well. But also ones that the 'quiet' mode on the iPE drops it pretty well (as I've seen on the vids posted for it so far). So yeah it's a bit raucous on sport but should be quiet enough when closed. The Cargraphic that I could tell doesn't have a full-closed option, just the auto RPM-based switch.

The sound of the iPE is for me much better and louder.

From my observation of the 2, they are fairly similar construction, but the reason I choose the cargraphic is that the ipe has smaller piping.
Cargraphic has 2.5" piping throughout while the ipe was I think measured at 2.1/8". This seems to account for the higher pitch due to higher exhaust velocity.
