   i want my car to sound nice, but without sounding too loud and chavy.

   Get an exhaust system built with 2 silencers, that'd more than likely give you a nice quiet/deep tone, and get an enclosed induction kit like BMC CDA, again, quiet kit can be heard mainly at low revs - sorted

    yea, would be fine for what you want. tho i find my inclosed raclend with green to be quite loud, not that you can hear it over my exhaust when driving tho
