Default WTB Exhaust...

I was wondering what your opinions are on the Invidia Dual... I've seen all sorts of videos and hearing it digitally is really difficult to gauge the tone. I don't want a civic sounding exhaust on this baby and some of the videos definitely sound like a pop can. Perhaps HKS is a better option, although is the price difference justified?

Any Toronto owners with Invidia Dual installed and wanna take me for a boot? =l

invidia exhaust sounds alright from the outside but the drone inside the cabin is killer. a testpipe eliminates about 75% of the drone but the overall tone is louder

hks has an exotic-like tone down low. above vtec you can't hear it over the engine. my friends' sister runs one on her car and it doesn't bother her, so it's safe to say it's pretty sound friendly. the only downside to hks is that the construction excluding the canisters is mild-steel. the exhaust rusts like crap

I had the Invidia V3 w/ titanium tips.... Drove it cat-back then header back. It's an awesome sounding system but the drone is rediculous. I didn't mind how loud it was.....just city driving made me not want to drive it without earplugs.

That being said, it did sound amazing @ WOT!

The Invidia drone is solved with a Vibrant resonator.

It pretty much takes 80% of the drone away.
