I am 95% sure I want to do quad tips, I think they look much better on this car, especially because the gloss/satin diffuser. However, if my only options are to go with dual tips, then I will probably wrap my diffuser gloss black. So far, I've considered these options.
Borla Atak Catback + 2nd Cat Delete - I really like the sound from this exhaust. My only negative concern is the rasp at high RPMs, which can probably be solved by an xpipe. However, I think the non-NPP Quad Tipped version is WAY too expensive, I mean, four figures for a CATBACK exhaust for a V6? Not to mention the $200 I'll need for the OEM rear diffuser? Doesn't make sense to me.
Muffler Delete + Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe - I think these sound good when the exhaust shop does them properly. It's economical too, which is another good thing. My only concerns are a) Exhaust shops seem to not know how to align tips (not a big concern though) and b) Drone. I added the Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe because I hear that it eliminates most of the drone. However, I'm still a little concerned about some drone. As for the quad tips, I'll buy the quad tip diffuser, the wrap, and the actual tips themselves so the shop can do quad tips. I bet this can be done easily for around $500.
MBRP Quad Tip + Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe - I know MBRP just relased their dual tip, and I already can't wait for the quad tipped version. I feel like pairing this with a Resonated X-Pipe as well as the Helmholtz resonators on the MBRP will effectively eliminate drone for an economical price. However, my concern here: apparently a quad tipped version is "in the works" but that's what everyone with a dual tip version says. I'm just concerned about a long wait, or maybe it may never even come out.
So, keeping those in mind, what exhaust system do y'all have on your (naturally aspirated) LGX engines? How much did you pay for yours? Can you upload a sound clip (cold start, warm start, revs)? I'm just trying to gauge my options as far as exhausts go. Thanks everyone.
