had invidia n1 when i bought the car... took about 2 months and got rid of it. my friends didnt even wanna cruise next to me on the freeway lol i then heard of the q300 everyone said it was way quieter so i bought that. had that for 3 months and it grew on me there wasnt to much drone above 70mpg but right at 60mph it almost felt as loud as the n1 I recently traded it for the tanabe medallion touring and i love it! quiet on the freeway no drone at all! and when you get on it WOT it opens up nice. i couldnt be happier! but when i go super charged il probably get a electric exhaust cut out just so i can be loud when i want to.

I have a love/hate relation with my skunk2.
It's sounds amazing when you boogie, but drones like crazy at highway cruise. The silencers help, but I wish they were easier to slip in/out on the fly. The fit so snug I have to beat them in with a 2x4.

I had a love/hate relationship with my 70-EM. I had a t1r 70r sparrow before it and loved the tone and how loud it was. I got the 70em with intentions of it being better for daily use because reviews said it has the same power with no drone, yet it droned just as much as the sparrow with less volume. I liked the power gain, but hated the fact that it was too droney/loud for passengers yet not loud enough for me.

i love my dual Greddy Ti-C. The tone and volume level is perfect for a DD

I'm just itching to move onto a single. I don't know if i'll regret it, but i want some thing a lot more aggressive since its not daily driven anymore

I'm running a T1R 70r, I've enjoyed it for the first 50,000 miles I've used it but I'm wanting the lighter, more quiet T1R ti 70 em now. At $2300 I'm not sure when I'll buy it.
