I've listened to all the clips on the internet but can't really get a good grasp on which I like. Anybody live in socal willing to meet up so I can hear you setup in person. Looking at valvetronic and AWE, but willing to hear any setup.

What kind of sound are you looking for and how loud do you want it?

I'd like a deep tone with a volume increase. I'm still not done with my break in period so I have time.

The exhaust does not need a break-in period; you can upgrade at any time.

the Valvetronic setup will get you a deeper tone than AWE

Thank you. That seems the exhaust most people are the happiest with. Will I need a valve controller to keep them open when I want?

It re-uses the stock valves so it will act the same as stock without the controller.

which means the valves will not open 100% unless you use the valve controller

If you get the Valvetronic valved sport exhaust system (its a catback), it comes with the valve controller. I have had it on my car for about 10 months now, very happy with it.

Just looked at the full titanium kit and it's price lol. But still might have to splurge.

Titanium while lighter (weight) will not give the tone you seem to say you want. It is a tinny higher pitched sound. The stainless give the deeper tone

+1

if you do not care about weight saving, the stainless steel is the more budget-friendly option and will deliver a deeper tone
