Just a good opportunity for me to post a pic.

Back to the topic on hand,
vwong,
The G Power and many of our exhaust systems have a very long useage life. Nice Prelude! The new material we developed for our existing and new exhaust lines is made to last even longer than the packing material we used in the older G Power and Racing Medalions of 4-5+ years ago.
The new internal material is called 'Advantex' and it has some very interesting properties.

Shadowlegz,
We do not know how the other exhaust system sounds, so it would be difficult to make a comparison.
The SM Hyper has a deep tone, but is very low profile, and has a low decibel rating. (well within 95db noise regulations)
We do have sound clips of this exhaust on other vehicles, but since the engine configuration and displacement is different, may not accurately depict how it will sound on your car.
There may be several people on the forum who have used our systems on their other cars.
