Default Installed an Invidia Q300 and a test pipe

This is an awesome upgrade. I tried the UK mod and not even close. I put on the Invidia Q300 and a test pipe and OH YEA it's nice. Now I feel like I am driving a sports car. This is the way to go in my opinion. That is if you like to hear your motor make all kinds of nice noises. Especially when you hit the VTECH.

I think the Q300 sounds best with OEM cat, but to each his own.

It's loud with the test pipe but that's what I like.

How much louder is it with a test pipe? Does it burble?

I only have the Q300 dual installed on mine for half a year and I am already wanting a quieter exhaust...stock soon I am thinking.

I had the Q300 for an agonizing month, then promptly returned the car back to the factory exhaust.

That exhaust system gave me a headache, even for short trips. Even passengers would complain about the constant droning resonating into the cabin. It just ruined the feeling of the car, and put me in the same category as the typical Civic tuner.

Also, the general construction of that system was mediocre at best.

Man I wish I new you guys felt that way maybe I could have saved a couple of bucks. But then again I only paid $7000 for my car with 44,000 miles on it. If I do get tired of the sound I will just throw the factory exhaust back on. It's very easy to do. I just don't see it happening. I like loud. I also like heavy metal music so nothing new to me. These cars need something to take the pussy factor out of them.

If you are the heavy metal kind of guy then I guess it should be fine.
