Sound is a subjective thing. It's really up to you and what sounds best to you. IPD seems to sound a bit throatier and have a bit more growl while the EST is a little more subtle yet more aggressive than stock. EST also has two types of systems- sport and touring- touring has an extra resonator to tame it a bit more. I think they all sound great so for me it would just come down to the money aspect of things.

I suggest waiting for either company to have a sale. EST typically has a big exhaust sale in the spring where you can get both the DP and exhaust for about $1,200

That said, if you plan on keeping your car for a while, it can't hurt to spend an extra $200ish (above the EST sale price) to get the IPD system. You'll get a bit more ground clearance, a real agressive sound, and those tips are awesome.

Thanks for the information as I am planning on doing the same. I have worked with IPD and have found them very good to work with and helpful.

Wooo another guy in Mississauga!! I'm biased towards the EST Sport system because I haven't heard the IPD one yet (Can someone PLEASE make a comparison video). In my opinion the EST Sport does a really good job, and it sounds quite aggressive, so the IPD system has to be something really spectacular to beat it.

If you want to hear how it sounds, reach over to my buddy's shop in Mississauga on Burnamthorpe and Wolfedale, and you can see/hear for yourself. We're always tinkering around with our R's, and he has the EST Sport + DP, as well as an electric cutout that's just bats**t crazy! Sent you a PM.

I just got the EST touring and a CNT DP and it is plenty loud for me. I've had people in the back seat even complain. The newer style tips are much nicer looking than the older rounded tips in my opinion.

Can't recall any local guys with IPD's because Eurosport is located in Oakville, and people just pick it up there.

PS. You can always go custom if you want LOUD! 3" mandrel bent with a magnaflow or borla muffler, and choose tips of your choice :) I might end up doing that myself

I've got a CNT DP on the stock catback with no resonator and I want it a little louder. I'm thinking of going with that custom setup, but with a resonator. I don't want it to be headache inducing on the highway.

My EST DP/Cat is only noticable at start up and hard acceleration. At cruise it is not noticable. I am still using the stock can, but no resonator and am pleased with the more aggressive yet not obnoxious sound.

IPD's Is oval tube which is just something thats really cool and not many other people are doing, personally I plan on stacking some money up for IPD just seems to be the best choice plus EST's tips are ugly

This may help: another member on here started with IPD and then switched to EST- I guess his wife didn't like the IPD one. He took videos of both.

That's who I purchase my IPD exhaust off of. I don't regret buying it either lol. Absolutely love the whole setup. The sound is amazing.

Drone isn't that bad on the highway. If I have something in the trunk and have to fold my seats down, then it does get a bit louder in the cabin.

There's always going to be a little drone with aftermarket systems. I would go with the IPD exhaust. Well worth it.

Ipd exhaust is the best by far ....oval tubing for clearance too

With a downpipe it sounds like sex

I have est sport and don't have bad highway drone. Drone is also an idle that is excessively loud due to exhaust flow becoming too low. I don't experience that either. If your exhaust diameter is too large for your car's flow this can happen.
