How to get the best exaust tone from a 4cyl?

I am used to hearing some sort of exhaust note, and this car is just too quiet for me! However, I think you all know what I don't want my TSX to sound like. The TSX is my first 4-banger, so I'd like to know what mods will yield the best exhaust tone. Would it be better to go custom or wait for the Comptech or another cat-back system?

I have a full OBX system on mine, alond with the an injen cai, and it doesent sound like a lawn mower, it actually sounds really nice! nice and deep.

I live in arizona, and the temps during the day usually dont drop below 100 right now, but at nights sometimes it gets to like 80, when this happenes, it sounds even nicer!

i cant wait untill winter time!!

Did you get any noticeable performance increase with the intake and exhaust?

I've got a sound clip of JUST the intake HERE .

The nice thing is, if I just drive normally with moderation, I never hear it. It's not "ON" all the time. Something I prefer.

Typically yanking out a Four cyl and replacing it with some larger cubes and more cylinders does wonders for the Exhaust note.

Rotflol.

I think I will just hack off the stock mufflers with this old rusty saw I found in my paw's shed. Then I'll take the stock tips and duct tape them to the pipes! Yeah!

Well hell, since I got this saw, I reckon I might as well just hack off the whole exhaust right after the headers! Free up some weight and whatnot... I guess I could replace all the metal piping with some lightweight PVC if I needed it to pass emissions...

I think the Foldgers cans would add too much weight for my muscle eating street machine, anyway.
