it depends...not all sound good. one time i heard some noise coming down the street and thought it was another ricer civic but turned out to be a s2k...
i think the quieter exhausts sound better on the s2k than the loud obnoxious ones

But then I got in my buddys car, Ray, and his intake sounded pretty cool too on stock exhaust. You could actually hear the engine lol.

I can deal with loudness but it's the drone that usually comes with louder exhausts is what turns me off.
I have a Tanabe Concept G mated to a berk tp and do love it. Nice and throaty down low and screams up top with zero drone.

The first one I test drove had a modded exhaust, and yes it did sound nice. Although I'm just learning on the stock model for now.
An interesting note, on a Ferrari 599 GTO, the race mode bypasses the mufflers and the sound is insane. Wonder if anyone has attempted that on an S.

I thought about installing an electric exhaust cut-out hooked up to a RPM switch programmed to 7K. This would automatically open the cut-out at 7K and above RPMs and close it back again below 7K. Just been lazy to do it. Someone please motivate me.

To me, 4 cyl engines either sound cheap or similar to a motorcycle. so far, I haven't heard one I'd be willing to live with on a day-to-day basis. I kind of prefer engine and intake sound with the stock exhaust...had an audible exhaust on a car before and grew tired of the constant noise. If my S2 was "track only", I'd definitely equip it with something.
