I'll 2nd that. I've heard this could possibly be the best sounding exhaust for our cars. Sound clips anyone?

C.K.
I think this is going to be my choice for exhaust. I have it narrowed down to the Tanabe Medalian Touring, GReddy SP2, and the Magnaflow, I am definately leaning towards the Tanabe after hearing the sound clips.

To me i think that exhaust is too quiet sounding. It does look nice though.

Quiet is the point. That's why I want the Tanabe for my R18.

You'll love it then, it's quiet and smooth. At its loudest you won't hear any engine noise up until 4k rpms, it's real nice.

Im waiting for HKS to release an exhaust for the Si. They have a sound clip for an RSX exhaust. I am assuming that it would sound similar. I had HKS products on a 240sx and the sound and quality is top tier.

I'm waiting for Comptech, possibly wait for HKS or even JIC, I had JIC on my STI and loved the sound, course it was on a boxer so sounds way dif. But I'd like to get something soon!

I agree with HKS making top quality products... I had there exhaust on my Evo and it was beautiful, I love the JDM slanted look. Plus I had HKS intake, HKS 272 Cams and Gears, IC piping, bov.. etc.

I went with Greddy this time around for my SI, thought I'd try another products company this time around and I believe in Trust. Out of preference I like to stick with 1 brand for all possible mods on the car otherwise I'd have to go with something else if they didn't have it.
