Default Greddy Evo2 Opinions?

Well I have been looking for a cat back and I've been changing my mind A LOT. Seeing as I'm spending like $500, I want to get something that I am sure I like. I am kinda moving away from the Apexi WS2, even though it seems to be one of the more popular here it is too quiet I guess, and I don't really want to get a Magnalflow custom done. So as of now the cat back I am really interested in is the Greddy Evo2. I can get it for $500 shipped to me off ebay. Looking at videos it doesn't seem too loud, it is noticeable but not loud. So does anyone speak from experience with this exhaust? Mainly I just want to know if for daily driving is it too loud... it doesn't seem bad in videos but I guess it might be different in person. When revved high the Evo2 sounds really nice and is nice and low tone. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any helpful posts.

And for daily driving it isn't too loud? I want it to be a reasonable sound when I am driving to school and stuff, I don't want it to sound like I have the gas to the floor when really I am shifting at 3.5k lol

its all about personal preference, some people like them louder than others. Greddy Evo2 is not the worst sounding out there, in fact i think its one of the better sounding. For me personally i think its a bit big and a bit loud for my personal taste. that is why prefer the ws2. If you like it get it, worst comes to worst you can sell it off later on and get something else

I've seen a few in person and IMO they're too loud. They have a clean sound, but it's just too loud.
