Do it, it's worth it. For $100 bucks, you get a little bit more but it's not obnoxious in any way. I love it but I'm thinking that I might have to do an exhaust just for te bling factor and for a little more grunt. I'm not a fan of droning exhausts.

I happen to have a T1R test pipe available if anyone is interested.
You have to put your own CEL adapter in there (thats easy), but it throws the oxygen sensor completely horizontal, whereas some of the others cause it to hang lower - which could be an issue if you are already lowered.

well if he's got one already, i'm assuming it's used. and might have a defouler thing on it already...i think i've read that sometimes the CEL problem still pops up with it.

I like the berk one, It doesnt really throw the oxy. sensor very low.
Although I do have to admit with all the top down driving I've been doing, the smell really does get to you. Especially in stop and go traffic. Gives me a head ache at times..... But once you get going again at VTEC you forget all about it.
But not sure if I'll keep this thing on LONG term, but I'm sure I'll last until winter, when the hard top goes on, then I won't worry much about the smell. =)
I did like the berk how you just screw in the oxy. sensor though, made install a real piece of cake.
Now the bolts.... that was another story.... had a local exhaust shop loosen all the bolts for me for $5. I figured that was better than tooling under my car for 1 or 2 hours stripping bolts etc. Initially tried for 30 minutes and gave up.
