highly unlikely that it would fit, but even if it did, it wouldn't make the same sounds, you'd need the STI boxer engine to do that

The STi "grumble" is not contributed from the exhaust. The "grumble" is contributed from the 2.5L 4 cylinder Boxer Engine. Regardless, if you happen to even manage to get an exhaust from an STi to fit, it won't even sound close.

the greddy evo 2 has a nice deep sound. also you could custom make an exhaust with mangalfow parts and get close to the sound but never exact.

if you like the grumble/throbbing sound, get an intake - enough said

As already said, it's the combination of the flat opposed 4 and uneven pipes in the manifold that creates the distinctive throb of the Scooby exhaust note.

The ricest exhaust is probably one of those ebays. Some people say dc sports exhaust is ricey but i just think its way too loud of a drone. Chyllntsx and a few others had it and didn't mind.

I really like the evo greddys with the deep sounds.

if u want that exhaust note from the STI u should record the exhaust, burn it onto a cd-r, and then play it as loud as u can on the TSX's radio.

why would you want something super loud? I understand wanting to stay away from "rice" sounding fart cans, but then at the same token you want something loud which is somewhat contridictory to not wanting to sound like "rice" however, rice in my bowl never made a sound LOL. Anyways, I run Comptech's exhaust and it's great, low deep tone that is NOT loud, interior cabin sound level is low but it's enough for you to know you've got something and for the rest of the world to know as well. The mufflers are about the same size as stock so you don't have a coffee can hanging off the back and is good for lowering because it wont scrape. Plus, you can't argue with the quality of Comptech. Cheap exhausts (not saying Greddy, but more refferring to DC) burn out and sound like crap after a while. But if you are looking for a sound that none of the exhausts for the TSX can replicate go to a custom exhaust shop and tell them what you want. They will configure you an exhaust that will get close to that sound and you'll be happier. That's my .02

the rumble is due to the firing order of spark plugs, on tsx, you won't get any sound that resembles sti
