I personally think the OEM exhaust looks fine and is pretty free flowing already.

Vote goes for CAI intake roar because you have control over when you want to hear it as opposed to an exhaust that drones all the time and annoys your passengers.

I have both an Injen intake and a Greddy Evo 2 exhaust. I love them both together.

Exhaust growl. You can hear it without flooring it so you can save gas too!!!

I hate to say it since I also have the greddy evo2, but with our engine, intake sounds the best hands down.

the exhaust sounds very plain to me. its probably one of the only mods i would not do over again.

I like the initial sound of an exhaust on ignition and acceleration, but don't care for the droning sound when cruising... and all aftermarket exhausts drone to some degree.

Intake roar FTW!

I LOVE a great exhaust burble! For "normal" cars, the MiniS had a great one before they "quieted it down" (same w/ STi too). Best audio ever though was last season on Top Gear when they took the Vantage, Porsche and the Gallardo through that tunnel together!! WOW!!!

Exhaust growl! I don't like to hear the engine anymore. That Bass rumble when the car starts up is heaven to my ears.

If you want great start up sound and droning, go for the exhaust. If you want to be able to hear your vtec clearly and use the gas pedal to determine the sound of your engine, then go intake.

The Greddy Evo 2 is a very distinctive exhaust. It has a very deep and nice pitch. Everyone knows I am coming when they hear that exhaust down the block
