Help me pick from these 5 exhausts...
I'm new here, but hit the search button several times yesterday going through exhaust recommendations. Based on what I'm looking for, searching helped me come up with 5 different systems. Help me narrow it down to one. I posted them below and their claimed HP gains. Just post up the one you recommend and 1-2 sentences why.
Here's what I like. Overall, nothing ridiculously loud or obnoxious. Just a little low rumble at idle, and through the RPM range I like it smooth and deep. Not too throaty. Definitely no droning, and I would prefer an exhaust that doesn't need silencers to keep it civilized sounding.
Appearance wise, I don't like canister exhausts. So that eliminated pretty much everything. The 5 that were left are what I need help in choosing from.
Borla - ? HP gain
Magnaflow - +5 claimed HP gain
Team Spugen (dual oval mufflers) - +5 claimed HP gain
Neuspeed - +5 HP gain
Comptech - +3 HP gain
Thanks!

With an exhaust you can't really go for HP, unless you get the triple combo, intake, header, exhaust.
I love the HKS, search for a clip.

I, myself, don't like the look of the HKS. But that's just me. That's why my selections are narrowed down to these 5 oval muffler exhausts.

I'm running the Comptech and love it. It's loud when it needs to be, quiet pretty much all the other time. There is a slight drone between 3-4k, but other than that, it's just fine. I've gotten a lot of compliments on both the look and sound of the exhaust.
Some other ones not on your list worth considering are the Fujitsubo, and the newer T1R Sparrow. I've actually contemplated trading the Comptech for the T1R. Give them a shot.
