Depends on how much you want to spend.

Second hand can be found on eBay or here, or get a custom one made from Solid-Fab.

I have a twin-exit stainless one from Long-Life Bristol on a "mid-sport" note (according to the original receipt). Came on my car when I got it but actually really like it. Low down it's not obnoxious and when it hits VTEC it's a little raspy. Could be worth going to one and seeing what they can do.

They aren't too cheap mind!

OEM with a resonated decat is quiet & understated on our track car.

Have always thought the OEM tails look perfectly suited to the car- especially when polished & the backbox sprayed with heatproof black paint. Big jap cans just don't do it for me....

thats a 5" inch one :lol: , it was on the v6 when i bought it and its supposed to be a custom fit s/s one (which is why ive never replaced the box as you cannot buy a standard v6 box from a exhaust fitter now ,it has to be customised
Looking for a Gen5 Lude very soon....

I had a janspeed on my old lude, that was quite nice. It had some meaning to it and was a bit louder than stock but certiainly wasn't a drone. Definately quiter than my evo2, mugen mani & decat. That shizzle is loud! :twisted:
