Edit I am an idiot.

Here is the correct vid: http://www.streetfire.net/video/nons...-sp_709781.htm

The above is on my last fd, True Non-seq. The SP is near unbeatable at idle.

I had a new RB dual tip but it droned terribly on the interstate and was still pretty loud at idle.

 

I had the RB dual, it was not too loud, sounded good. I have stock now, though. It's very quiet even with a 3" downpipe and high flow cat, but it does have a little deep growl to it.

I have been very interested in the Tanabe one mentioned above. I might jump on one of those sooner or later.

 

ill be playing with some exhaust systems after i get back from basic and have some bonus money i like the look of a larger tip on my modded FD but its way to loud. for some reason ive always loved the HKS carbon TI while loud it cant be as bad as my apexi N1 118DB at idle lol im thinking of high flow cat resonated mid pipe and either the HKS unit or a tanbe unit.

 

The old racing beat dual tip is pretty quiet. I still have it on my red FD. I pulled up to your house a few years ago(ok, maybe it was 5 years ago... yikes!) and had an HKS dp, high flow cat, and old racing beat dual tip catback. It is almost stock level quiet. I changed it out with a magnaflow mp without any change. Like you said though, it is restrictive. Doesn't look bad though.
