My friend had a civic hatch w/ 3 inch thermal and it was loud and deep as hell. My other friend has a n/a car with a 2.25 thermal and it is loud but nothing compared to the 3 inch turbo thermal. N/A cars are alot louder than turbo cars when they dump it from the header/downpipe at the track. Turbo cars are alot deeper.

I think the thermal sounds like dog farts. Thats why I am going with an N1 turbo muff. and 3in piping.

You can't beat 3" exhaust with a turbo. I think it sounds fine but if you run it N/A or with a supercharger like i did it is way to loud and raspy!

I'm running a 2.5" dp, stock cat, and a cat-back RM, and it's not very loud at all, nothing compared to when I was N/A. When I was N/A, I HAD to run the silencer, but the turbo made it a lot quieter so I don't use it now. While I was tinkering with my downpipe yesterday, I noticed something. The RM piping starts out the same diamter as stock(it looks like) to meet with the cat, and then flares out to the 2.25 or 2.5" that the resr of the piping is. Are all cat-back exhausts like this? Seems kinda lame
