Default Classic exhaust which one to go for?

I have got a 2001 Classic and looking to replace my current exhaust which is a 3" de-cat Zigen 5. Its way to loud, and I am looking for one which gives me back the Scooby burble and allows me to do track days. The previous owner spent a fortune having the engine rebuilt with a 600 BHP rated HKS crank and a load of other upgrades. The engine is rolling roaded at 350BHP, so I dont want to give up any power. Reading other thread it looks like the Tornado is a good system, but anyone got any other suggestions?

I've got a HKS Hi-Power Silent, full 3" decat & it's perfect. I'm too old for an ear bleeding exhaust now & I was quite surprised how quiet the HKS was compared to my old Blitz with no DP. On my first scoob, many years ago, I had a full Blitz decat with DP & that thing would wake the dead. Only had it on a week before I'd had enough & changed it.

Have to agree totally,i have heard a few hks super dragger systems, and on tickover almost sound like a prodrive system - very subtle, but the similarities stop there.Once you start to accelerate a really nice growl. Failing that the ninja 2 also gives a nice bassy rumble on tickover and sounds great if you want something that is not to OTT imho.

Default Wanted 3" exhaust to suit classic

Hi all,
Thanks for all the responses, they have been very helpful, especially all the clips with revving engines. I will have to put a clip on later of mine and you can see just how loud it really is.
Most people seem to think the HKS Hi-Power Silent/dragger or the Revolution turbo's are the ones to go for.
Does anyone have one for sale or can recommend where to buy one?
Regards,
Wheelspinner

My old Kakimoto 'R' exhaust sounded sweet, not loud & had a nice deep sound to it.

Your best off scouring the for sale sections on here for an exhaust at a good price.
