How is the noise level though? Straight through muffler on it? What would be a better option? That or a Greddy SP? Or just go RS*R!

Their exhausts are good, all Stainless Steal. As far as their other stuff, I would look else where.

Do not buy Greddy. I have had 3-5 friends with the sport exh and the welds on the flanges rot out, pin holes in resonater etc, they only lasted 2-4 yrs before this **** happened and it's not from salt on the roads. I live in WA.

Noise level depends on how old you are and where you drive. I have the DC and it is a bit loud compared to the power of the car. You know if you are loud you better be fast. The noise settles down at freeway speeds unless you have a load of 2-3 passengers and a hill. Good thing it is a good sounding loud. It doesn't bother me and I have a 60 mile commute. I don't know if it would get annoying on a 500 mile trip or not.

I had a Dc sports catback on my Si and well I didn't like it, drastic change and moved to the spoon n1. One of the hangers broke off the Dc and I had to re-weld the piece. The sound is nice though, but I have seen sales on Apexi lately for great prices. My vote is to stay away.
