Yeah, one of the main reasons I put Megan in the top category was more 'cheaper' than louder, so that's my bad. The one Megan I did hear they had straight pipes on it (NOT TEST PIPES) and sounded dumb loud. With that being said, it's a cheap way to go for some extra sound. I also missed a bunch of others....Macht Schnell, the new (and old) RPI exhaust/X-pipe, Challenge, etc. I'm personally running a cheaper Remus full race but with an RKP X-Pipe
Sport. It's a loud deep rumble but with high exotic notes at times. Not everyone's taste and if I had to invest again I'd probably go with an Akropovic or some custom fab - both of those I think are perfect with any X-pipes on the market right now.

My car started off with this setup (albeit a different X-pipe) and for as long as I live I will always shit on Dinan. Hated the tone, hated the guy spent so much on it, and ultimately felt like a gimmick of an exhaust. It is neither loud, nor overly tonal in the 'exotic' realm. I realize they are all subjective, but it honestly sounded like a 2 pipe exhaust mod with a nice X-pipe on it. I specifically didn't include Dinan for multiple reasons. I understand it's a lot of peoples thing, but will never be mine.
