Mines decatted with RCM headers and prodrive backbox. It is definitely quieter when cold. When it's hot it roars at anything over 4000rpm and pops on over run...........nice

not loud on normal driving but roars on boost, very good quality system.
the reason i have it is the tailpipe is pretty standard looking as i hate huge dustbin sized tailpipes, and its normalish sounding when idleing

Don't take this wrong,but Nur Spec have amazing sound like at low rpm at high rpm is not for people with heavy heart.

When i put first time Nur Spec on my wagon,wow that's sound has been just amazing,later has been too loud,due our neighbor just complaining,because my brother going to work sometimes at 3am,6am etc and he coming home sometimes too late,due this we are replace this for slightly quieter HKS Ti.

i understand they are an excellent quality exhaust, everyone has there own preferences when it comes to them.
the reason i have a miltek is when i had my car remapped i was told that the original prodrive exhaust is restrictive otherwise i would have kept that.
i wanted an exhaust as close to the sound and look of the prodrive one and the nearest i could find was a miltek.
i personally hate large dustbin tailpipes and unnecessarily loud exhausts,
the former just look ridiculous and the later just annoy people (i.e your neighbours) and attract unwanted attention from the local boy racers and worse the police.
i try to be a discreet as i can in a large blue sti impreza with a massive spoiler lol
