Do you have Comptech exhaust?

I want to know how it sounds. I don't want my car sounding like a ricer. I am looking for a nice "robust" sounding effect. The Comtech's have 3.5" tips & it gives you a 4-5 HP gain (I beleive)
Is it worth the $650????

------------------
2001 Acura 3.2 CL, Type-S.
Satin Silver w/ Ebony Leather.
Navigation, factory spoiler, moonroof visor, factory blackwood trim, PIAA wedge-bulbs (ion yellow/#19173), rubber Acura "all-weather" floor mats, 50% tint, & K&N high flow air filter(#33-2178).

***AEM CAI, Comptech exhaust/springs & rims & tires TBA***

I've heard Wayne's from Park ave Acura and really like it. Not ricey at all, no fart pipes, sounds deep and throaty. Nice rumble at idle , v8 sound midrange and gets lower as you cruse.

Toker - Can you do the install youself? It is just 2 bolts per side isn't it?

Wanted to know, b/c I think that I might do these next. I want to do everything I can myself before I start doing mods that require taking it to a professional.

Thanks in advance for any input.

I've got the exhaust and headers. Definitely doesn't sound rice! At high rpms it sounds sweet! At low rpms it rumbles. I leave the stereo off sometimes, just to listen to the exhaust.....it is music!
