Got it back... WOWZERz.... its loud, sounds good though.

I think since we have Honda engines we're destined to sound kind of ricey... opinions?

lol (i have no resonator) lol

please tell me i'm not such a that i just bought a fart-can...

the company that makes the muffler is called sebring, i've heard it on two of my friends is300's and it sounded great.... it seems though that on the acura its a SHIT load more loud.

you guys with aftermarket exhaust,

A) did you remove the silencer tip?

B) are your exhausts loud? (and i'm just not used to it yet)

Just add a 22" resonator, it will calm things down A LOT.

yup, you need a resonator. i took the one off my subaru because it was rattling from the inside and straight piped it. i need to put an aftermarket resonator back in because it sounds too raspy, even with the stock mufflers.
