Default what does aftermarket exhaust sound like?

I'm possibly looking to change my exhaust but I'm not sure as to what the aftermarket exhaust will make my car sound like. I don't want a "V8 roar" where I have to yell to talk nor do I want the "bumble bee" sound either. Can anyone describe the sound of their aftermarket exhaust or possibly a sound clip of one. Thanks

Here are 3 full throttle clips of mine. It's a custom job. True duals with an Xpipe, no mufflers, and two pairs of resonators. I am about to put in the XERD headers which eliminate the cats so it is going to get VERY loud. I may have to install a set of inline cats behind the headers. We will see. Turn your volume UP!

I have the Nismo and love it, a little louder at WOT and sounds exotic to me - no to mention the quality is second to none.

my nismo simply put, is amazing. I couldnt believe the difference in the tone. It was exactly what i wanted. I agree completely that it sounds exotic and the quality is always topnotch. I got mine from paul at avalonracing.com for $825 shipped, which was an amazing price. This was during his xmas special, and i think he sells them now for $925 but i could be wrong. The ingen is very load, and the borla is spposedly deeper than the nismo.

My Nissan dealer sold me my Nismo exhaust for $825 too, initially they told me MSRP until I proved I could get it off the internet cheaper - so my dealer set me up with the price and I installed it at home with just the rear of my Z on jack stands - it was easy and I didn't have to wait for shipping - check out your dealer and see what they'll do for ya, if they don't want to help you out then buy it online - - good luck.

... Nismo is good .. I agree... but Invidia is what I have.

If you want loud .. and Nasty (in a VERY intimidating way) Go Invidia...

Also the HP gains are better than the Nismo.

The Nismo is just like stock basically, if you dont want to stray to far from that sound go for it.
Borla sound "ok" deeper and more aggressive.
Injen sounds awesome, very deep and quite loud.
