Looking for quiet exhaust

[KEIVmx]

I have HotShot headers and my current exhaust has become too loud for my tastes.
I am looking for a much quieter canister catback exhaust that would lower sound levels to a much "legal" level.

I have come across the Tanabe Hyper Medallion and became attached to it.
Does anybody have experience with this exhaust?
Is it quiet?

I would also like to ask for other recommendations and stories about other quiet systems.

Thanks a lot!

I've heard good things about the 5Zigen fireball exhaust. I'm not really a fan of 5zigen (never was) but recently I've been taking more notice of them. They have a high quality product for pretty reasonable costs.

As per mike's (fd3s) suggestion, the Greddy SP-series should be a good choice, too.

I have the 5Zigen fireball.  It is very quiet, almost too quiet but w/ your headers it should sound nice.

Have you checked out the HKS sport?

5Zigen. &nbsp;Supposedly gives tons of power, like, online somewhere is a dyno chart of 2 consecutive dynos. &nbsp;One with HKS something exhaust, and the 5Zigen. &nbsp;The 5Zigen gave 12 more horsepower than the HKS. &nbsp;That's impressive.

I have the 5zigen, and gives a noticable power gain across the entire rev range. &nbsp;I LOVE the sound.. &nbsp;so smooth, and sweet. &nbsp;I does sound quite a bit different than the N1, but everyone that hears it compliments me on the note. &nbsp;I have two gripes with the system. &nbsp;1. &nbsp;It doesn't accomodate the Tow hook. &nbsp;You have to remove the tow hook too keep it from rattling on it. &nbsp;2. &nbsp;It looks a bit funny how it &nbsp;sticks off the back of the car.

hhmm, I don't really like the looks of the fireball. &nbsp;What exactly does the N1 sound like compared too the fireball? I think thats what I'll end up getting.

As for the Hyper Medallion. &nbsp;I have only heard them on civics and tegs. &nbsp;So, this may not mean much, but they aren't loud. &nbsp;Even when you get on it they don't get excessivley loud. &nbsp;Well inside the legal level.

drive with no exhaust at all, it really wakes up the neighborhood &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

5Zigen Fireball (NA version). &nbsp;2.5in piping. &nbsp;Unbelieveable hp increase, and only marginally louder than stock.

HKS not exactly sure which one I think the HKS sport or hiper drager is pretty low toned and quiet perfect for your application. Try looking hks website for all different types of exhaust systems. hksusa.com !!!!!!! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>

i've got a Magnaflow... yeah, diss on me for not buying a japanese muffler, but it sounds great at high RPM's. it's not TOO loud, like the N1... but it does drone quite a bit under 3.5k, and it can get kind of annoying. i'm thinking about switcing for a hyper medallion or possibly the HKS R2. i really like dual tips, so..

Greddy makes some very quiet exhaust as well.
