exhuast sound?? Performance sound or Rice

for those who have got intakes,headers,catback exhuast. I was planning on getting CAI/H/E but first wanted to know if it sounds good or if it sounds like a riced out honda. Want a deep sound!

Depends on the brand and performance level of the components.

I had all of them and had a nice sound.

Brospeed/Bosal header and cat back.

Type X racing cat.

I have a MaxSpeed universal muffler. I believe the muffler is totally hollow. I can't stand the noise anymore.

I'm thinking about going back to stock.

I have a fairly inexpensive muffler welded onto my custom 2.5" CAT back piping. THe muffler is a 3A Racing muffler, and has a deep sound, not ricey. I think the larger the can the better off you are.

The muffler will lead to thetype of sound you make...

I have Injen CAI -> Throttle spacer -> Comptech Headers -> stock CAT -> 2.5" custom piping -> Apexi N-1 muffler.. on my 3.0....

its LOUD but very Ballsy!!!! Sounds like I ready to eat up the competition... only at very low RPM do I get a slight RICER sound from the canister!!! I have NO complaints with it.. but I am heard blocks away (no exageration) thats how loud it is!

I have had ait a few weeks and been pulled by the POPO a few times already!!!!

I just had a Ractive installed not an hour ago and I really like it. It has a deep tone when you take off but cruising its nice and quite. I would recomend it. Polished stainless steel large oblong tip fit my 99cl bumper like it was made for it. They have different shapes.

I have the Greddy SP. big canister, smaller inlet and outlet. the exhaust isnt loud at all. never gets annoying, havent been pulled over yet. if you drive normally you can hardly tell its there. once it gets in the higs rev's the sound begins

does anyone have actual sound clips of your exhaust? everyone that has exhaust seems to think that their particular brand sounds better than all of the rest. that doesnt help much.

The best way to decide would be not by opinion, but by actually hearing it
