Just start listening to aftermarket exhausts and go with the one you like.

I've only had experience with Top-Speed, which gets that sound as well with more of a deep rumble.

If not, ARK and F.I are also good choices as well.

Absolutely agree with you, TopSpeed Rear Section exhaust will make it sound almost like a stock coupe but a bit more deeper tone which is better lol ;-).

I have done this on a few of my previous cars. Go to an exhaust shop and get them to remove the exhaust resonator (they dampen the sound) and replace it with a small section of straight pipe.
Shouldn't cost more than $50 and can sound great. I would check with other members who have done it though to ensure that there is no drone. I would imagine if you just remove 1 of the resonators (closest to the rear of the car) you would be fine.

Buy and ARK Exhaust. I added it and it sounds really good and pretty quiet when you want it to be. i think even a stock coupe exhaust sounds weak!

Especially in comparison. But the Ark will cost some $$$, $1200 or so.

No, I mean muffler deletes. Leave the resonators alone. It sounds like crap if you remove any resonators. The sound of the VQ with a small section of straight pipe in the place of both mufflers sounds amazing. I have had Stillen and Invidia CBE on my car and now I have muffler deletes and personally I love the sound of it. There are actually a lot of sedan guys with muffler deletes now.

Is your vehicle AT or MT? Ensure the exhausts you are listing to are on the type of transmission which you have, AT drone may get annoying.

The most quiet exhaust for our car, especially with AT, is going to be Invidia. I personally had that and Stillen. I have personally heard and drove G sedans with every exhaust available for our cars out there and by far the Invidia CBE would be your best bet if you want a smooth quiet exhaust with absolutely no drone. Stillen, Ark, and Miestershaft would be the loudest with the most drone in the cabin on low RPM. Fast Intentions, Greddy, HKS, and Tanabe Axle back would be some good contenders for you as well.

qpham45, between the tanabe and the invidia, which do you prefer? I want something quiet, but slightly more aggressive than stock with absolutely 0 drone. I'm not a huge fan of the Invidia burnt tips, but the tanabe is really expensive for just an axle back and the 4.5" tips are rather large IMO.

Blamb, if you go invidia, they offer double walled rolled tips. No blue or other color, just standard chrome color.

They are quite beefy too. Looks like this.
