Well, one big advantage is that the dual tip mufflers don't look that big... and as a result tend to attract less attention from the local law enforcement. Depending on where you live, that might be worth considering.

i live in virginia and they are strict on exhasut. they say here if it dosent look something close to stock it is illegal. but i was thinking if it is quiet ir may not draw to much attention

yeah cops in va are pricks. they pulled over my bud for "illegal exhaust" because it was loud, yet while writing the ticket a straight pipe harley goes blowing past without so much as a look.

if you want quiet, def not the blitz. might look into the hks drager. great sound and performance, but pretty quiet just cruising around.

does not look stock tho.

maybe you missed this, has some shown in there

if i had to choose something other then what i have i think i would go with the blitz set up 1 for looks and 2 for sound its not to bad on the turbo (still pretty loud) but loud on n/a, the tanabe and blitz are both full stainless steel which is good but i don't like how the tanabe looks 1 that muffler (maybe considered a resonator) at the end right before the tip and how it sounds (only heard it in person on a 1j though)

found these two clips also (and i would check the sm vendors first some people have had problems ordering from supra store)

I'm running a Magnaflow 3" in and twin 2.5" out. Not very conspicous, and the noise level is low with good flow for power.

QFT. If you have strict or PITA law enforcement, you cannot beat the one from RR. If you're at all concerned about power, just pick up an electric cutout as well.

It's fully 3" so no need for a cutout ;)

Get the Raptor Racing dual tip exhaust. I got the 3" tips which he usually has in stock, and it looks great. I live in California so we have the Nazi police pulling over any car that doesn't look stock.

I haven't had any problems since it looks stock, and it has a nice low rumble compared to the fart cans.

Read the law for yourself or talk to a lawyer. They can't enforce this statement. They would have to clearly define what is and is not legal, because what "looks stock" is up for debate.
