i wouldnt go with a Concept G. i had that axel back and it was pretty loud also. i would go with a SP-2 if you want something on the quiet side.

The concept g is not loud. You can here it but my friend has a custom midpipe and my exhaust is way louder and my other buddy has the concept g and i cant even here the thing inside the car. His intake is louder!

I had a very similar setup to you with a full exhaust and an s-pipe. I had since sold my exhaust to see how the alphawerks would be with only an aftermarket s-pipe and stock exhaust. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the header with the stock exhaust is not loud at all; in fact nearly stock sounding.

When you rev it up high and really get on it, it can still get a little raspy, especially when cold. I am pretty confident that the metallic rasp you are hearing is actually the pipes rattling together due to the fact that they are so close to each other as you get towards the collector. When mine gets up to operating temperature, the rasp is almost completely gone, which leads me to believe that the pipes expanded from the heat and filled in the gaps between them.

All in all, I am happy with this setup becase my car appears and sounds almost stock, yet has the two most efficient n/a power producers (injen intake too) installed.
