Reckon you'll struggle to make this topic last long mate, as there is also an endless list of best exhaust threads on here.
Best "quality" tends to be more a question about the life expectancy or the external appearance maybe, but the best "quality" is quite possibly not the best "sounding" from my experience.

KPM IMO is the best exhaust for sound and quality you can buy at the moment, but not cheap.

Thats what I was looking at. Two resonators in the middle and 2 single SDT's on the rear.

It's a pretty subjective thing....best to try and find examples out there and work it out from there.

Ask 10 owners the same question regarding the same set-up and and you'll get find some divided opinion.

Look, listen and ride ...then decide.

Ask yourself a few questions:

1) How 'notey' do you like a system and do you have AFM.
2) Do you prefer a good broad torque/power curve for the cost of a few peak KWs or are you after a peaky delivery with some midrange dip?...a really good question when deciding on pipe diameters and header config.
3) What kind of 'cosmetic effect do you like.
4) How much air are you moving through the engine?...cam, heads, FI etc.

Just a few of the considerations. Most of the brands here are ok. Check with a few tuners and see what they're using as well.
