It sounds good, not too loud...you don't heard it at all until you mash the throttle.

Nice! How do you like Comptech header performance? I am thinking about getting TR1 test pipe with DC sports or Comptech or Topspeed with stock exhaust someday, but not sure which header I want to get it. I know the issues on DC Sports and Comptech. I wonder if your car with Comptech and Random Cat make any noiser with stock exhaust? I am sure it gain more hp. Let me know.

Shifter is great, well worth it - shorter, precise shifts. The Mugen kit includes the entire housing, with solid bushings:

I put the header & cat on at the same time. It definitely helped the motor pull better through the RPMs.

I did a fair amount of research on which header to get, ended up with the Comptech. Very happy with my choice, it is a quality piece.

As for noise, no issues with the stock exhaust. From what I read on the forum, adding a performance exhaust w/ the RT cat is pretty loud. I may to the s2000 exhaust tips for looks.

Nope. I tried that, even started to modify the trim and grill. Too much fabrication...so I just repainted the Euro trim with some 'chrome' spray. Not a perfect match, but not bad.

I'll probably either have it chromed or get some better chrome paint from Eastwood Co. The other option would be to buy the chrome trim from Honda. But so far, it looks like it is sold as an assembly.

The Intake, Header & Cat combo with the stock exhaust sounded nice when you hit the throttle...not overpowering at all, just a little bit louder than stock. Sorry, no sound clips!

Good Luck!
