Which Cat-back exhaust is the quietest?

I am looking for the quietest cat-back to compliment my upgraded intake.
From what i have determined from all the posted treads it apears to be either Borle Street or Milltek, is that correct? Perhaps the JCW's exhaust is the least noicy but overpriced.
Any of you have either a Borla Street or Milltek and would care to offer your opinion?
Thanks in advance.

the borla street is very similar to stock in how it sounds. it's just a bit louder. the milltek is a good bit different. it's louder, but it's a very mellow sound. i like my borla, but i'll probably swap it out for somethin that sounds a bit less stock like; however if you want a quiet aftermarket exhaust the borla is the way to go.

I have heard that the Remus is extremely quiet until you get on it. I am still going back and forth on what type of exhaust I want to get.

Playmini/Scorpion

I've had my Scorpion on for about a month now and it has a nice burble around town, a great tone at WOT and disappears, much like stock, cruising above 50+

I read other threads about the minimal amounts of gain for the money spent...I bought mine used and am happy with the bang for the buck ...in the total package with my alta 15% and HAI I am quite pleased

now just for the MTH...

I just installed my Milltek! Check the thread listed below. I have three vids of my MCS moving. Windows are cracked about 25%, and I have a Rogue Engineering CAI and Milltek Catback exhaust.

I also have a clip on the exhaust by itself (camera outside, car standing still) lying around here...

You will find that the CAIs (really the supercharger) make more noise than the exhaust!
