I guess you can call me biased .. but ....

COMPTECH FTMFW!

I have a video of my exhaust system .. but really .. videos do no justice .. you have to hear them in person to get the full effect.

Like I said .. the video doesn't do justice. I personally don't really like the way it sounds on the video opposed to real life.

I have J-pipe, ATLP Racepipe, Comptech exhaust with an Aero resonator.

EDIT:

IMO, this is a better representation.

can you get just the mufflers from any of these brands? cuz having a shop build a catback for you is much cheaper than a pre-made sytem that costs almost a grand

Nope, none of them will sell you just the mufflers. If they did they would lose business...

XLR8 non resonated quad exhaust is my vote, after my first choice of ATLP quads.

I was gonna get the CT but I decided to wait for the ATLP base. I really like the comptech's subdued tone at idle but a real nice tone at WOT. I vote CT
