Depends what you mean by best sounding. Most people on here seem to think that loud = good, personally I'm more of an RC40 fan, throaty and a little bit deep, but definitely doesn't leave you thinking the car is all show and no go!

Ive a maniflow 1.75 twin box system, with a janspeed lcb.
Maniflow are great,wouldn't buy anything else.
Mine sounds good, without giving you a sore head.

I have to agree with jammy the rc-40's do sound nice, I'm about to experiment with a peco twin tail pipe box with the rc-40 system so i will let you know how that sounds

A 'Delta' one would probley be up your street, although you will lose a huge amont of back pressure, and will hardly if anything gain any proformance increase. bit to noisy for me.. :D

If you wont a exhaust that sounds good and you want a increase in power stick to a Maniflow or RC40 system.

Yea as everyone has said what are you after for the exhaust? Performance or something loud?

Iv got a 1.75" RC40 twin DTM side exit exhaust on mine and thats not a very loud exhasut, but it has a nice rumble to it.

If you want something loud go for something like a 2" or 2 1/2" playmini twin exit exhaust.

i used to have a dtm.. but it irrated me and gave me a headache.

swapped out for the twin box maniflow system...
sounded much like an rc40 inside the car.. but apparently a lot louder outside?

but quite a bit more expensive...

can poss get you a sound recording!!!
