Thanks! I think it's just about perfect. Not intrusive at all from inside - kept the stock resonator/goofy looking "L" shaped protrusion...

After about 5,000rpm it's pretty much motor sounds from inside... haven't tried top up yet (I never drive with the top up!)

I like the sound of muffled voices (radio?) in the background.

Seriously, having heard the exhaust live and in person I must say that it sounds fantastic. At lower revs it has such a mellow tone and the higher it revs the sound shifts to sort of a muted sportbike sound.

Spugen really put a lot of thought into this design...

Nice tone! Any chance you might be able to get in-car acceleration runs?

Is it a cat-back system or just the end mufflers?

Congrats!

Hey -

Thanks guys... I'm enjoying the car even more now if that's possible! It's really pretty mellow in the car. I'll work on recording it some time this week. Any tips on keeping the wind noise to a minimum? I may have lost the windscreen to my mic (AudioTechnica 822 stereo mic)

It's just mufflers and about a foot of new pipe. Kept the stock diameter. I'm pretty sure Honda tuned the exhaust pretty well so I didn't want to mess with it too much. Just wanted to enhance the sound that was already there...

vroooom!

the voices?!? doh! had the Mariner game on the radio as I was coming home...

I just got DSL a few days ago. That was the first time that I've been able to see/hear something like that.
That was cool!
