Request of opinions...

I've listened to probably every exhaust vid, but we all know that doesn't do much for picking an exhaust. In the long run I plan on getting an exhaust but first I want to know which exhaust sounds the most "Batshit crazy" or "Screams like a banshee" not a deep/throaty/burbly exhaust, but something more high pitched.

RPi exhaust is what you want.
Its the loudest, basically unmuffled meaning its a high pitch/raspy screamer.

I've got the RPI's and put about 6-7k on them so far. Up till 4-4.5k RPM it sounds very deep and bassy from the inside and very deep and growly from the outside, at 5k and over it's a loud, evil bark not unlike a race car that bounces off cliff walls and building and makes rev matching and heel toeing very satisfying. At no point in the rev range does it sound raspy.

Oh and it also drones, a lot. Especially when going around 70-75mph in 6th gear. If you're worried that an exhaust could be too loud for you, this exhaust is it. It's very, very loud but also so much fun when you're in the twisties. I really like it but i can see how it would be too much for some people.

I've got several videos of my car if you want to hear for yourself http://www.youtube.com/user/MotoristCY

It's very light, supposedly makes a few extra HP for you too but really you should only buy this if you understand and are willing to accept its shortcomings, this is not an exhaust for a daily driver (mine is actually but then again i'm known to be a bit of a hooligan) but if your car is a weekend only drive or a track car then you will like it. You should check the noise limits of your track though.

The best bet would be to actually listen to one in person. See if there's anyone local to you that has one and arrange for a passenger ride.

Yes of course... My housing community has many rules as well.
