Love my T1-R EM Single. I could care less what the knobs at the office think of my car.

 

doesnt mean you have to conform to be like everyone else. try for a quieter one if you miss it. stock is just too plain, no sound at all.

 

yah the fuji legalis R is pretty quiet, can be mistaken a being stock even. I hear the APexi WSII is pretty quiet as well as the invida Q300

 

...or HKS. You know its there but nice growl.

 

I just took my Toda dual a few days ago and went back to OEM with a 2.5" straight pipe between the cat and the Y. I'm actually enjoying the car more as I can drive it aggressively without getting punked. All manner of ricer would want to sample me with the Toda, even just cruising (??!!!).

IMO, performance wise, no reason to go to a quiet aftermarket exhaust. The Touring Medalion does sound and look good though.

Eventually I know I'll put the Toda back on, gotta love that snarl at high RPM.

 

I'm in a funny (similar) position. My Civic has a full catback exhaust (2.25" Thermal), which looks completely un-professional, especially on a 20 year old honda.

ON the other hand, driving a beautiful red S2000 gives off the opposite image - like I'm paid too much. Its definitely a lose-lose situation lol

except for when i drop the top and leave work haha

 

wow.... i was used to a muscle car with an off-road pipe and aftermarket cams.... and i STILL felt it was way too quiet lol, it's the one gripe i have about the s2000, impossible to get a loud AND nice tone out of it, like any other 4 or even 6 IMO.

i like to touch the gas and people to think that hell is breaking loose and coming their way, i know i'll never get that sound out of the S though so I don't even try, just leave it stock.

 

Have you considered removing the stock resonator or getting a test pipe?

 

I live in california and a testpipe is illegal...

 

The Comptech exhaust is a little louder than stock, but not very loud. Used ones go for a few hundred if you can find one.
