Default Which Exhaust is Right for me?

Haven't been on the boards in a while...I've been busy with school and work.

Anyhow, I am about to put an exhaust on my A3, but I want it to be the right one.

My criteria:
-Throaty Sound, no fartcan/whoopie cushion
-Good performance
-Nice looks

I was thinking neuspeed, but I don't know if the sound is good. What do you guys think is the best for me?

BTW-I have Revo Stage 1, if that matters.

I was thinking Neuspeed myself as well, but the cost was the deciding factor. I ended up going with the Greddy, catback only for now. Sounds great, throaty and mellow. My only complaint personally is that its almost TOO quiet. I'm hoping that a downpipe(of the test pipe variety) will make it louder without sounding harsh.

The downpipe definitely increased the sound volume on the GReddy CAT-back. It is about twice as loud with a full 3" DP. At WOT, I can set off car alarms if I'm close enough, but it still has that same throaty sound, only louder.

Maybe we can do some comparisons at the next GTG? Well, that's if my Audi is back.

Cheers!

If I could find a way to make my A3 completely silent I would do it in a heartbeat.

The GHL 3' tb i have is on its way out from under mycar. After the break in period this thing has gotten the worst drone that drives me mad. The sound and vibration have alsogotten out of hand. I'm going to call the owner Jeff and see if they can do anything about this problem. I'm leaning towards the apr stealth.

hopefully your car will be back and in goodworking order. I'm all for doing comparisons at the next GTG...that is if i can keep from pulling the trigger on the downpipe myself. I do seem to remember your car being louder then what mine is right now.
