Default Skunk 2, Magnaflow, or Apexi?

I need to get a new exhaust, and my options are a Skunk 2, a magnaflow, an Apexi, or stock. I want something with a nice sound, but definately something more on the quiet side. And nothing too big. So which company do you think would be best? Also, how much of a difference is there between these, and a stock catback? I want the nice aftermarket sound, but I'm also running out of time and money, so if there's not a huge difference, I might go stock.

If you are looking for quiet, then The APEXi WS2, is the route you want from the exhausts you have listed. I would recomend that or the RS*R ExMag

all three of those are gonna beon thelouder side. The are all the N1 style and are gonna sound generally the same. If you want somethin quieter, i'm with jhsplaya08 /\ on the Greddy Evo2, it sounds really good. also the apexi WS2

My opinion is that if you want your exhaust to not be too big and not loud, I think you'll like the APEXi WS exhaust, but if size doesn't matter to you all that much and the loudness of the exhaust doesn't bother you all that much, then get one of the three options you listed, I believe no exhaust is too loud unless you really step on it so...good luck trying to decide bro.

Thanks for all your help guys, but all my panickingh was recently cut short, as I FINALLY recieved a shipping notification that my Megan drift spec was on the way from streetstyler, so I'm gonna be putting that on next week.
