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.


Love the stock exhaust too. No interest in changing for sound, esp. since there are no meaningful hp gains.

Blacktrax sells open-header electronic butterfly valves. Flip a switch and bust your eardrums.

like i said..maybe it's just me getting older but extremely loud exhausts especially on our cars doesn't always sound good. yea we all love the sound of it at 8/9k but most of the time it just too loud and makes the car look cheap.

i agree 10000x with jtsx1, intake on stock or stock engine/intake on a quiet exhaust like the greddy SE, fujitsubo, or mugen (not megan) sounds great. too bad they're all too expensive..

HKS Dual and PRM intake one of the best set-ups for sound. The HKS is quiet and until you punch it, and it screams in vtec, and the PRM sounds better than my old FIPK imo. Since bolt ons don't do hardly anything for this car, I mostly went for sound/looks.

I commute with the S. Even the stock exhaust seems loud to me. I mean, the car neither has the speed nor the acceleration to justify the sound it produces.
