Akrapovic Slip-on Exhaust
As the title states, looking for an Akrapovic Slip-on (axle-back) exhaust. Located in San Diego, CA. Willing to travel within Southern CA, but will also consider purchasing out of state.

Something is only new until it's not. I try to buy used whenever possible, whether it's the car, wheels, camera bodies/lenses, etc. If the tips are not in a condition that I find acceptable, I will pass and hold until I find ones that are. Like I said, I'm in no rush. Already have Kooks long tubes and x-pipe, so I'm not dying to have the Akrapovic. Car sounds good as-is...but it just could sound better is all. 
Honestly, I hate Akrapovic's carbon fiber tips, anyway. Their branding on the tips is repulsive in my eyes, especially since they're not centered. Looks cheap af. I'd prefer polished tips.

I've considered Magnaflow, but all signs point towards drone. Based on the design, reviews, and YouTube clips...I decided to pass. My 2nd choice is Billy Boat Fusion gen 3, but I've read it's not much louder than stock. It does change the tone (deeper), but volume isn't significantly increased. I wanna hear my car scream (without drone).
Both are cheaper, yes. But I've learned to "buy once, cry once."

The Magnaflows have tiny mufflers, which is what makes them so loud...but with that comes drone.
I don't question BB quality, but I don't think it's what I'm looking for is all.
