High performance street tire recommendation
I have 10,000 miles on my Yokohama AVS ES-100 205/45 17 tires. The wet and dry handling is fair to good but the tires are noisy as #*@#. I am looking for a high performance street tire replacement. I have a 2005 MCS with basic mods (15%, CAI, MTH, Milltek, H-sport rear sway, Koni FSD/H-sport springs) and enjoy spirited street driving. My budget is $150+/- per tire. Any recommendations - Thanks!

You mention High Performance street tire replacement. Do you mean you want to replace an Ultra High Performance summer tire with a "High Performance" summer tire? Because that isn't going to happen. HP summer tires are not going to offer better traction nor better ride comfort or noise comfort, it's a step down.
To improve you'd need Ultra High Performance All Season tires or
better Ultra HP Summer tires, or Max Performance summer tires. Is that what you meant?
205/45-17 limits what tires are available.
Assuming that you want to use that size and you want more comfort.
In UHP All Season tires-
Avon Tech M550 A/S $99 each noise comfort 7.6
Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season $126 each, new tire not rated but likely to be better than 7.0.
In the same size in UHP Summer tires-
Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 $124 each, noise comfort 8.3
Kumho Ecsta SPT $93 each closeout, noise comfort 8.1
Dunlop Direzza DZ101 $105 each, noise comfort 8.0
In the same size in Max Perf Summer tires-
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx $128 each, noise comfort 8.3
