Exhaust suggestions needed

I got a 2003 TLS and I am deciding what exhaust system I want to put on my car. I saw badazzTL's HKS exhaust and was very impressed. I like the GReddy, Tanabe, and 5Zigen, but the Comptechs pipes are too small. If anyone can give me a heads up on which exhaust system is the best I would appreciate it. Also if anyone knows anything about the Apexi exhaust and likes it let a brother know

The Apexi looks great but I think I have to go with the Comptech. Although it looks small, it is covered by the warranty (according to my dealership), and my car is only a couple months old. I think im gonna order the CT exhaust and Icebox today

Well, I just ordered the Icebox but im wondering if the exhaust system would give me any problems. My warranty would still be good but if the aftermarket exhaust (ex: GReddy, HKS) was the reason for the problem my warranty would be void. I was looking at my exhaust today and the Comptech exhaust looks exactly the same and im not too big on that. As for headers, that will be my next purchase for sure, Comptech of course

I went with the Tanabe exhaust. I like it alot. My wife hates it. It is fairly loud. It is a cat back system and it is all stainless steel.The greddy is not all SS. That is what the guy at ACP told me. I don't know if that is true. It also needs a extra 6 inches of piping. I got a muffler shop to put on the extra piece that was needed. Also the tips on the mufflers are pretty big. Hope this was a help.

Thanks for the info, I think I might just go with the CT for ease of installation and I wont worry with Acura backing it. I am just wondering, can the exhaust be a major cause of problems? Or are they all exactly the same. Im worried that an exhaust that i have to modify will cause problems in the long run
