Default Need a loud exhaust, but want a stock look

I'm looking for a stock looking exhaust but I want a loud one though. I wanted to get a Tanabe Racing Medallion, but looks kinda funny on da z. So I said I'll try to find something stock looking. I really want to find a Dandy(JDM) Exhaust or a Tommy Kaira-unfortunatelly I'm having a hard time finding them. So I'm thinking Stillen, Blitz Nur-Touring, Tanabe Hyper Spec, or anything else ya'll can think of. Any suggestions plz. Much appreciated.

I hear the Nismo exhaust with Hi-flow cats gets pretty loud and looks stock.

+1, or you can run it with test-pipes and it would be really loud...

get a good y-pipe and testpipes(or HF cats) keeping stock midpipe and stock muffler... will save you some money, gains will be the same, will sound mean as hell, will get you to keep your stock rear mulfler diffuser.... and you cannot have a more stock look than this setup

I went with Borla TD + Kinetix HF Cats + JWT PopCharger. Looks near stock but exhaust has a good note to it. If you want loud, TEST PIPES + pretty much any exhaust will raise the decibal level. Remember louder doesn't = faster. I'm not into loud attention getting exhaust but if I were, I would go with a TopSpeed Pro 1 exhaust + test pipes. My .02

thanx everyone, but I think that I have found exactly what I need. I figured I can't find the Tommy Kaira or the Dandy so I will go with the HKS Hi-Power Cat-back. Little pricey but probably worth every dollar. For now I'll probably get the Exhaust and Injen RD Intake and later on some headers, pulleys, hi-flow cats, and cams. Thanx again!

Hey man I'm very much interested but I might need some time, but very much appreciated. Yeah I figured by buying a quiet exhaust and getting headers and hi-flow cats to make it louder would cost about the same as getting a louder exhaust. So with future plans it should rumble pretty good. If u still have the intake in a few weeks I'll definately get it from u, thanx again.

if you want loud with a stock look you should check into just getting a custom system at an exhaust shop like I did. Check the pics and vid in my sig and you can see what it looks like and sounds like. From the rear mine looks bone stock thanks to the stock looking tips....but it rips!!!!!
