I have been looking to upgrade my exhaust and was recommended Vintage Speed exhaust. I am looking for a nice system with a little rumble. Live in Los Angeles.

Tiger at A1 would also be a resource for a nice exhaust system with some rumble. He's in Santa Ana, Ca.
Thanks
And it depends a lot of your engine specs - is it a 1600 cc or 2210 cc? - big difference in what exhaust I would pick.
1900cc
1.5-inch tubes then.
Thanks.
If it only makes power to 4500-5,000 rpm you'd be better off with 1 3/8" tubes, but that's a pretty mild engine, and as Ed said, 1 1/2 is best for most engines that size. And if it goes much above 6500, 1 5/8" primary tubes will be required, but that will be a pretty radical beast!
Vintage Speed has two types for Speedster replica; one for motors up to 125 hp and one for up to 150 hp. I am thinking that it might have something to do with the diameter of the tubing or something like that.

There are quite a few threads on this site about the various options for exhaust systems and their relative merits. It's worth the time doing some research.
There are a lot of factors to consider and the more you learn, the more likely you'll end up with what you really want.
I have a Vintage Speed and it's perfect for what I was after, but it would be perfectly wrong for a lot of other folks - even if they had the same engine that I do.
Time is money. The more time you spend researching, the more money you'll save in the long run.
