If I hadn't been able to get ahold of my RS*R, I would have gotten the WS. Looks good, how does it sound?

cool...looks nice!

the exhaust is EXACTLY what a daily driver wants. quiet from 0-4000 RPM (seriously folks, all u hear is the engine... no exhaust sound what so ever). but on WOT after 4000 RPM it has a beautiful sounding mellowed-out roar. it doesnt attract cops attention either which is a major plus. i get a lot of complements on the racing strip about being the only import not sounding like a "bee in a can". i will get a sound clip up shortly if enough people want me to.

take care,
tim

What is your best run with your setup? I can't really hear my exhaust over the intake at WOT. They kinda blend together.

15.2 is my best so far with a 2.232 60 foot time launching at 2300 RPM dropping the clutch. a great run indeed

that was with cai/h/e and plugs/wires.

How does it sound? I'm interested in putting something a little more low-key soon, and was thinking Tanabe HyperMedallion or HKS Sport, and this seems to fit the bill too. My car currently has an Apex i N1, and while it sounds great it looks a little too flashy for my taste and is all scratched up. Any opinions on the Tanabe HM, HKS Sport, or the Apexi World Sport would be reallllly appreciated!

The exhaust looks nice and is very classy in sound as well. You really can hardly even hear it. It is a nice exhaust for a small upgrade without any real care towards performance gains. The WS muffler is very restrictive and will not make the mid-high end power of straight-through muffler systems. And yes it DOES make a big difference (at least on H22A's) and have since sold my cat-back system due to that.

It kinda looks like my GReddy SP with a thinner tip, but the can looks about the same size. I really like my low hum of the GReddy SP sound w/ AEM CAI and DC Header. Nice Exhaust tho.. looks clean!
