can somebody convince me to keep my exhaust?
ive had my HKS exhaust system put on for bout half a year now. I cant ever hear the engine anymore. Yeah i can hear some when it's idling or mixed with the exhaust note. But im growing tired of the boomy noise at lower RPM. Ive been getting headaches and my ears can't put up with this with the top up. Why did i get it in the first place? i guess i wanted noise now i got noise i can't stand it. I feel like some riced out cars sometimes because of the big tips known on some modded cars like "civics" sorry that name just stuck out like a sore thumb. Anyways im only 21 so it's not like i dont understand how important an exhaust note is to a modded car. But now i think the best exhaust for my car is the stock one. It's not too loud, it doesnt draw too much attention, and doesnt make me feel like im another loud one on the block that people hear coming and going at midnights. Ive had several cars and they all have been treated with aftermarket exhausts. Now when cruisin around my S it sounds like my other cars and i just can't hear the sweet engine that sounds like my dad's V6 mercedez at low RPM. So im thinking about taking the thing off, im almost sure about doing this now i just need someone to tell me im an idiot for thinking about it.

I have the Comptech exhaust and it resonates a lot, but I've grown used to it, yet I can totally understand your desire to chuck your HKS. It is more ricey sounding than others due to its pronounced, high-pitched note.
I say keep it if you can get used to it. I don't think it looks rice. Looks good.
