Default Good Sounding Integra Exhaust?

What is a good sounding aftermarket cat-back exhaust for an Integra? I like HKS a lot but the muffler and the tip are way too big especially on the Super Drager. I had a Skunk2 and a Apexi Dunk and wasnt too fond of either of them. I liked the skunk2 at first then I soon got annoyed with it. I've heard a Apexi N1 on an integra and I really didn't like the sound of that either. Just wondering what exhaust you guys liked on Integra's? I have a 99 GSR. Who knows I may end up going with the HKS because I've always wanted it eventhough it does seem sort of rice, the tip is like 106mm while my skunk2 was only 60mm. I was thinking maybe a Comptech eventhough the price is very high. Anybody help me out here?

I think you may want to specify, and have people who respond specify what type of setup they are running.

The biggest difference in exhaust sound is what type of catalytic converter you are running (if at all), and header type sometimes plays into it as well.

That way, you don't have someone telling you something sounds perfect, and when you put the exact same thing on your car, it sounds like ass...

^That's true.

Filling in my details: stock cat, Greddy headers.

I had the Apexi WS catback (I don't think it was 2) on my Type R with a JDM DC Header and carsound High Flow cat it sounded very much like stock and still flowed well. There was a resonator on it from Apexi too. The tip wasn't THAT big on the muffler either, 3.5" I think. I'd say the Apexi WS is a good choice. BTW, I'm the one who bought the ACT clutch from you.

The Greddy SP2 is alright i've heard it before. Right now it's a stock header I'm planning on getting a dc, greddy, or a comptech header and yes I have a stock catalytic converter. I was thinking about a Tanabe exhaust but definately not the racing medallion its just too loud.
