Whats your favorite exhaust brand?

Searching for some ideas on which brand exhaust to go with on my C43. I was looking at AWE touring or the AWE race but I am interested in hearing other peoples thoughts on other brands.

AWE is my overall favorite OTS brand, but I don't particularly love the way their systems sound on this car.

Unfortunately Akrapovic does not make a system for the C43 AMG.

Some videos of the AWE demonstrates it sounds good. Mercedes is really missing out by not making the AMG PE available for aftermarket sale.

Yeah, they haven't made one for the 450/43 yet (or maybe they never will?) but the entire aesthetic appeal of their exhausts are their carbon fiber tips/sleeves, so that might be interesting on our cars as they have really strange shaped [fixed] tips. I could see them developing a custom diffuser to go with the exhaust; which would add $2k to the probably $8k exhaust lol

Now I wish that the 450 had the PE option (only for the valves as the "performance" is really just marketing) but I love my stock exhaust w/DP's. It's all I need. If either of the stock exhausts were super restrictive and there was a reasonable gain in power to go aftermarket, I'd go AWE. The ridiculously overpriced units from Armytrix and others are stupid. I can't believe people actually buy them. You're just paying for a name. Akrapovic is expensive but at least you're getting titanium. If you really wanted a valved rear muffler/bypass option, you could find a shop that knows what they are doing and probably get it done for less than $1,000 all in.
