FINALLY!!!

But can you expand on this:

\"Cons:
- On low 3 - 4.5rpm everyday driving the sound can be annoying for some that want the stock like quitness, but it is still quieter then most high end performance systems.\"

Is it a resonating/booming sound throughout the cockpit?

Hmm expand.. If your on the hy way driving at a consistant speed the humming sound can be anoying.
But, again you would have this on any system you get that is performance oriented. I still say this is preaty good because im comparing it against a system I had on my Acura integra that would give me head achs.

This is resonable. The aceleration and shifting in gears is a delight in sound.

Does it come with a sound deadener (sorry, I forget what they\'re called. Resonator maybe?:D ). Basically it quiets the sound down if need be. My buddy has this and I occassionally have my parents in the car, so I\'d need it occassionally quiet. Also for long trips. Another thing...how much is this system going to cost?

That\'s exactly what I\'m afraid of. I want zero droning. Had a performance exhaust on the old car and it gave me a headache. Bought a Racing Beat Power Pulse muffler and all was good.

Profusion, maybe I should wait until you\'ve finished testing on the 2.0. Know when that will be?

No this doesnt come with a Silencer.

Because it has the rounded edge finish like a stock tip. Also there is no hole to screw one in if there was one that could fit. It is not as loud as the big tips you see on most civics. It is very tolerable and I have gooten used to the sound. I have a very sensative head and this just makes it for me. Any louder would I belive give me a head ach like my old system.

Its quite decent in around town driving.

Yep. 2 litres of thunderous fury. I eat Kias for breakfast, Hyundai\'s for lunch and Honda\'s for dinner.

Really? Surely, I would lose any race because I still can\'t get quickly off in first gear. But I have 148 hp compared to 127 for the Si. More tourque too. Maybe because they\'re lighter?

I think I can beat CRVs then!

the current crop of SiR (the UK built hatch) were SLOW for what it was marketed to be. they\'re very high 15 to 16 second cars, which is on par with a stock 2.3L 3.

i wonder how that 2004 SiR felt when i handed him his ass from 140 to 188 :sarc
