Default f4i exhaust advice?

hey guys ive got an '01 F4i in red and black and it still has the stock exhaust can on it. i was wondering if you awesome people could give me any advice on what i should upgrade to. i dont really care for those large sidemounts though so im kinda at a dead end. i was thinking about the level one racing exhaust. its short and small, but that is what looks best to me. i was gonna match it with a sleek undertail so i was hoping to get a not-so-noticable slip on without spended too much money. any feedback is much appreciated! thanks
mike

LOR exhausts are LOUD, keep that in mind.

There's some decent shorty pipes in the market also. Scorpion makes a good one. Just search around!

I cut my hindle...it is a fairly easy process....You will need a good steel cutting blade for your shop saw and preferably a air riveter...The hand ones don't seem to tighten the rivets enough and you may run into issues with the can falling apart because of the vibrations...It seemed to give me a bit more HP because of having less back pressure...I plan on cutting my new M4 as soon as I get a scratch of dent on it...hate to cut a brand new can...lol

I've been looking at those and comparing to the Akra and Yoshi slip ons. Sound-wise is the FMF on the louder side or more reserved? For frame of reference, I'd consider the D&D to be obnoxious and the Yoshi to be on the quieter side.

Thanks!

My Rs-3c is fairly loud unless your cruising then you can't really hear it. Nice deep rumble at startup/idle. I plan on cutting it down a couple inches and adding the volume insert so it looks better but hopefully sounds about the same.
