Stock IMO.

Your question to far too subjective. To answer this question, you'll need to go out and find ITRs with various exhausts.. there's no way anyone here can give you any answer that's more "correct" than any other answer and there can be no incorrect answers to such a subjective question.

What do you mean by "nice"?

IMO unless you are going to modify your engine there is no reason to spend the money for a new exhaust. You can make it louder if you want, but you won't gain much power.

I've never remarked about hearing a B-series exhaust that "sounds nice". Unfortunately all the exhausts for these cars are either quiet or sound like fart cans. Nothing in between IMO.

I'd just stick with stock until you need something better.

man what the heck, some people????? the man just asked what exhaust sounds nice on a type r, and some people just dogg him for asking a simple question, whatever,

typer_r6, first off, hella jealous if you own a R6 along with a type r, hahahaha, lucky you, but as for good exhaust, i've heard greddy's to apex on type r, and they all sound great, some louder than the others, apex will definitely pull you in the louder direction, but if you got a silencer, or the exhaust you buy can be equipped with one, then no probs, sounds nice and quiet when you put the sil. on, and buff and loud with it off, i personally like the apex n1 exhaust, but if you go greddy or tanabe, either greddy evo, or SP, or tanabe racing medallion.

You like the Apex N1, and the Apex N1 is the LAST exhaust I would ever put on my car. If I wanted something that annoying, I'd be driving a race car and dumping it right behind the dirver seat.

Like I said, this question is far too subjective. Only you can define what you like, no one else can.

You're right (kind of). I still think the question was too subjective, but since I took the time to answer I should have added something informative. So here goes:

1. If you are not going to modify your engine then there is no reason to go over 60mm. This will keep the exhaust quieter (nicer?) and still allow you the maximum power gains.

2. The stock ITR catback has two resonators. Resonators make the system quieter without restricting the flow.

3. If you are removing the stock cat don't replace it with just a test pipe. This will make the exhaust MUCH louder. Instead you can get a high flow cat which won't effect the sound at all. Or you could use another resonator or small glass pack muffler; these will make the exhaust louder, but not as bad as just a test pipe.

4. The stock ITR muffler is huge and chambered. This makes it quieter, but straight through mufflers flow much better. This is a trade off that depends on what you want from your car. There are also "twin loop" type exhausts that are quieter, but do not flow as well.

If you are going to spend the money on a new exhaust, then you might as well get some upgraded performance (better flow rate). So I would say get a 60mm catback system with dual resonators and a straight-through muffler. Then get a high-flow cat, or else have the muffler shop make a test pipe from a small glasspack muffler or resonator.

And finally don't fall for the silencer trick. What's the point of getting a free flowing exhaust if you're going to drive around with it plugged up. I could only see doing that if you took your car to the track regularly. Then you could have a full out race exhaust and plug it up when you were on the streets.
