well ive had the exhaust on for a few days now. Fitment was a little off when i installed it and had to fix a few things to make it fit. I still need to adjust the tips so they are lined up correctly. It was hanging a little low at first also. I figured it was because of the flex section on the sho shop y-pipe i have. It wasnt too hard to fix that though. Although i ran into a few problems im very happy with it overall. it really brought some lost horsepower that the stock exhaust was choking. With the offroad y-pipe and the exhaust i would estimate together there giving around 15hp if not a little more. last year my friend (93 vtec prelude) was about 9 tenths of a second faster in the 1/4 mile. and could pull about 2 car lengths on me. now were dead even. thats with him also adding a full cat back exhaust since then too. The sound of the exhaust is pretty loud, alot louder then i expected but it sounds nice. Has a nice little rumble under about 3k rpm then once you floor it, it screams. i dont know what to compare the sound too ive never heard anything that sounds like it.
