apex'i cut out is like, 4 inches big. it's a pretty drastic change of look. (this is what I have). Mine are also really quiet (only heard from 2-3k rpm). I love my subdued tone.

If you want a more conservative look, go for the comptechs. They sound alil' more aggressive as well.

CT fit the look of the car alot better. They are not huge cans like the other options. And performance is next to nothing with any muffler setup. I was in your position last year. I tried the CT's & I was impressed with them. They are not loud things & have a nice low tone to them. Yet aren't loud while crusing on the HW.

If I did it over again, I would go with the CT CB. I have the Greddy Evo II right now, but I feel the tips are a tad too big.

I had the comptech catbacks on my car and loved the look, and deep sound. With the addition of the b-pipe it deepens the sound but is a wasteif your have a NA vehicle, since the performance gains are minimal.

Go with the EVOII, an old issue of something had a dyno test with three different exhausts and the EVOII came out the winner with 17 WHP. Although it was done on a J30 Accord?

I have a custom cat-back system 2 1/2" pipe with Flowmaster mufflers and the stock tips and it sounds great. A little loud but very deep tone. sounds almost like a mustang gt.

neuspeeds are my favorite brand of exhaust available for our cars. i'm very sad that they discontinued 'em before I could get my hands on a set.
