After market exhaust problems.........

I have been interested in a lightweight aftermarket exhaust like the Taitec GT lightweight but am begining to feel that some are having problems with these and other units. When Acura designed and tuned the NSX exhaust they did a fine job of eliminating vibrations and howling at all speeds to make the car smooth as we know it to be.

I appears that while some of these aftermarket jobs are significantly lighter than the OEM part, that they do not provide the smoothness, at least not at all rpms or speeds. Furthermore, some of these sound downright "cheap", like the dozens of tin cans one hears every day. Just because it is lighter and costs a thousand bucks does not mean it is better than the original.

I personally like the sound of the original exhaust. It is not overly attention grabbing but refined and certainly attention drawing at higher rpms. Ofcourse this is a subjective matter but would some of you good people with aftermarket exhausts speak up about the pros and cons of the different systems you have?

TIA ;)
