NOTE:
When you post pictures of your exhaust PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. Give whatever comments you would like about your exhaust. Would you recommend it to anyone looking for an exhaust? how does it sound? do you have any sound clips? videos will help a lot.

What: Thermal R & D catback stealth

Why I like it: This exhaust sounds awesome from the moment you put the key in and start it until you take it out again. There is just the right amount of rumbling that comes back into the car to not get annoying and on the highway. The hum at 80 mph is barely noticeable if you have music on unless you get on or completely off the throttle. On hard acceleration it gets louder until about 4500 rpm and after that it kinda just levels off with no gross raspy rattling sounds that make you wanna throw up.

When your just on regular acceleration you can get it to rumble/make a deep pop noise when the rmp's drop from around 4000 to approx 3500 with around 50% throttle. At idle its not very loud and to me its rather pleasant in around town traffic situations.

Basically i love this exhaust and its perfect for someone who wants an alternative to gross/over popular Greedy Evo's and Apexi World Sports etc. This fart can gets times 100 from me, I love it and Mgags7 and Birdman can vouch for it as well.

Ill see what I can do about a vid

my take:
sounds great, not real loud, but louder than stock. clean thorough sound. never raspy. really heavy system, and hangs low. pictures were taken after cutting hangers and using band clamps to raise the system as much as possible. with a dropped car (on H&R race springs) it scraped alot DDing in pittsburgh. it scrapes right in the center of the car over angled stuff, the muffler never really scraped.

id buy it again if i had a prelude.

I was looking for something that was not restrictive but not loud. As far as I can tell this setup (with a 34" resonator) didn't cost me any power in the ~180whp range compared to a 2.5" straight through Magnaflow setup (14" muffler, 22" resonator). That said, both setups were bottlenecked upstream by a cat converter.

It falls in between a reasonably quiet setup (like an Exmag) and a loud fart can setup (straight through anything). When it's cold it's very quiet, almost RS*R Exmag quiet. It's much less quiet once it warms up. It definitely is droning on the highway by 120km/h (but it is better than the 90km/h of the Magnaflow setup, but still comfortably under the 140+km/h of an RS*R).

I would recommend it to people trying for an all-motor exhaust that isn't horribly restrictive but want to hear themselves think while driving the car. I myself might put the Exmag muffler back on eventually, or try a DC5S/R muffler if I can get one.

It's not available in stainless steel, which is a definite disadvantage. On the other hand that makes it really easy to spray black, and it is very unobtrusive as a result.

I also got an ES muffler (single 2.5" inlet, dual 2" outlet) that I might use. If I do, I will paint it black and get some OEM looking tips. It would be a bit louder but it would look OEM. I had ES mufflers on two of my previous cars and I think they're great. Not too loud, not raspy, depending on your piping and resonator of course.

stock 3GP exhaust, H22A, egay header, no cat and stock resonator.....

Once the engine is built, I'm thinking of redoing the stock exhaust to be a lot quieter and just doing a cut out......

95 srv with Greddy EVO2 ss exhaust and a ebay resonated test pipe. sounded so nice. i miss this car

but it was worth it. not just your everyday Apexi N1

-----------------------------------------
Tsudo Full Exhaust, with test pipe.
got it for free, very loud, very obnoxious. but sweet sound.

yes i pulled the ebay tails off of it, i got it that way.

i've got videos somewhere.

My set-Up is as follows.

Best exhaust I hear in the streets, not just because it's mine but I picked a good one. The canister and tip are Titanium with the Ti burn on the tip. I installed it by myself on a lift. It's probably as lightweight as you'll get aside from a full Ti catback. Comes with silencer.

Love the sound - especially decelerating, it's beastly lol. It's deep all the way thru with a hint of "ricey" on hard accelerating somewhere between 2500-4000 rpms. I decided some months after to install the silencer because I thought it would complelely eliminate that hint of ricey sound on accelerating, but the silencer actually enhanced the rice sound and muffled the deep sounds - makes no sense to me. It does work to lower the deepness tho. The low tone on decelerating is pretty nice - I try to downshift sparingly but it's so addictive.
