There is probably really no "best" rather more of a personal preference for sounds level and type of sound. i.e deepness or throatiness. I persoanlly have the RSC Super Sports loud version and I am quite happy. The system is about 35 pounds lighter than stock and is beautifully constructed. I have seen a few QS exhausts and they sound fine but they are big and heavy and don't really look all that pretty. I also considered Larini but they RSC met my needs the best. Next up for me is the RSC cats too for an even more aggressive sound.

I have the quicksilver sport. The sound is awesome and the weight savings is around 35 lbs lighter. I have a roadster which makes a difference. Also, sports cats will add sound so I would consider a combination of cats and exhaust that bring about the best combined sound, HP increase and weight savings.

Roadster vs. Coupe definitely makes a difference to the choice of sound level, as well as whether you intend to fit Sports Cats as they bump the sound level up quite a bit. We're now running 3 different sound levels on the Vantage exhausts so people can get the level they are after both with and without cats.

I have the RSC sport cats and really like them. The cats turned up the volume, and gave the car a more aggressive, guttural sound.

I have the RSC exhaust. Dealer had no problem with it.

Want to get the cats, but I am afraid it will make the car too loud.

Sounds great. Maybe a bit loud for a daily driver though.

Sounds great, I would get the middle exhaust if you go for the cats. By the way, the color combo in that video is awesome. I'm a big fan of red interiors. (especially lately)

I have the RSC quieter version w/ 200 cell cats (actually I think Stuart now calls it the "middle volume") ... it will get anyones attention! Also have drilled/open air boxes w/ K&N filters ... open the exhaust ... open the front breathing too!

Hey Sherri,

I got a used RSC Titan exhaust for your ride as well beside the Larini cats!

RSC sounds pretty cool.
