Regarding the sound... I came so many times on the way home, I was able to forgo coitus that weekend as I was so satisfied. I love the tone, but sometimes wonder if there's a little too much of the sound, but it's good. It's surprising that a Japanese 4 cylinder engine can make such a great noise.

As for go, haven't really put it through it's paces since. So watch this space.

Great price that, to say I paid £300 for a powerflow one that wasn't anywhere near as well made.

Glad I found this article, some good advice in here. My original cat is needing replaced so hoping to get a good high-flow one fitted in a week or two.

My car had a full Hayward & Scott exhaust system custom made for the 1st owner a long time ago and used to run with the decat when I bought it. It really screamed like a race car when in VTEC, which was absolutely awesome but the drone at low RPM was too much. Really miss how quickly the engine revved with the decat as well, hoping to get a bit of that back with a high-flow cat.

Still want to see if any exhaust specialists can customise one so it screams at high RPM but is a lot more subtle when driving around town or cruising on the motorway. Was looking at exhaust valves a while back but several have an annoying rattle on idle apparently.
