This thing lines up like hot garbage.

Just in case everyone wondered if its 3"







Right side


Left side


And keep in mind, I'm lowered by an inch.... but is it suppose to be this low?







And the sound? It's loud..... real loud. It doesnt drone alot on the freeway but everyone know your there. Theres no deap bad *** tone..... just loud. Same tone as stock but a little B16ish

Are you satisfied or disappointed for the money?

oh... the weight..... it does way alot less than stock. I dont have a scale handy but from hauling one out and the other in, Ebay exhaust is lighter.

It hangs a little low in the center sectionto me.

Looks like the left can needs to be pulled a half an inch out.

Its 3" all the way thru. I'm running a stock cat so a new flange needs to welded on

The hangers do line up amazingly, but I had to rotate the rear rubbers lenghtwise to force the cans to sit lower.

The noise it produces will get you mad respect in the honda community. STI's might laugh and other evo's will shake thier head and disown you

This is why this exhaust is cheap.

That is acually a really good question. Considering how much it is, I'm kindof in the middle. It works..... it flows....... it gets the job done. Could fit better and sound meaner. But it does clear everything and doesnt vibrate or melt your bumper.

Am I gonna take it off? Not yet. I'll fix the little things I don't like..... spend maybe another 50 bucks, and rock it for a season. So in a sense, I guess I am satisfied.

Bought the same exhaust. Had the same thoughts on the welds, which looked like a blind 4 year old went to town with a welder. Fit up wasn't perfect but I didn't expect it to.

To be honest the sound is pretty good. If pappie1 doesn't post a sound clip I'll try and get one and post.

And to answer everyones question, I'm satisfied with it.

Dang you're a trooper... It looked really sweet on the first page, then not so much out of the box. Thanks for the review though.

Nice exhaust. To go completely off topic has anyone seen the film K-19: The Widowmaker lately?
