Any aftermarket dual exhaust and test pipes (or long tube headers) will be a complete cop magnet from a mile away.
LOL that is my exact setup. While noise levels are subjective, I'll say the Motordyne is not that loud for daily driving, unless you're constantly doing pulls everywhere.

If you go with the 18 inch resonators with the LTH from FI, it makes a good sound that isn't too loud. I've heard just about all the exhaust combinations you can think of. In order of loudness (quiet first):

Stock
Nismo S-Tune
Invidia - sounds good with test pipes, not too loud and no drone
HKS
FI
Motordyne - Sounds perfect stock. Add test pipes for more roar on WOT
GTHaus
Tomei - Wouldnt recommend for daily use.
Amuse R1000

I left comments on the systems i've run.

Man I tell ya, I drove his car, G37 sedan, windows down, and I felt bad driving by other cars. He wanted to hear what his exhaust sounded like from behind in another vehicle so we swapped cars. I made sure to go through the rev range a bit but did not do any highway driving, just in-town acceleration stuff. He couldn't hear my exhaust at all, even from behind the wheel, because his car was so loud. Granted, I have a fairly quiet setup (FI RHFC and IPL dual exhaust). If I drive my car through the city and get on it, I'll see people turn around and look out of fear, LOL. Pedestrians.

We're going to record some sound comparisons sometime this week. I'll post a video here too.

Im not worried about being little loud..just as long as its not obnoxious sounding, just looking for a nice deep tone thatll scream when i punch it(without sounding like crap) and with as little rasp as possibly, i dont mind a little drone as ive had it in about most my cars(ebay exhaust systems lol)

But like i said i also want performance too, not just all sound
