Default Thermal R&D Exhaust SET-UP QUESTIONS

About this exhaust set up for a 00 civic

Does the tip of the exhaust stick out past the back bumper?If so how far?

What does it sound like??
More aggressive sound like greddy
or more of like a straight pipe/muffler shop sound "high pitch sound"


ive looked it up on youtube but all the videos ive found,the sound is chopped up.It really cant pick up the true sound.so if any1 can help me out with that id really appreciate it cause iam looking for an exhaust and i dont want something too loud cause i do not want problems(COPS,THIEVES)


PM ME........ANY1 with answers,suggestions,whatever it may be any help would be great.

i'll post up pics of mine when i had it on my last car. I probably have a sound clip as well. THERMAL R&D exhaust is THE SHIZ! It's nice and low when your cruising and when you get on it it sounds AWESOME. I'll post that stuff up when i get home and have access to the pics and vid.

I think if you get the ST system its a lot quieter but if you want to have a bit of sound get the CL. I had a CL on my 99 EX and it was mellow until you got on it, then it was nice. Not ricey sounding either.

Thermal is extremely underrated in the tuning community. It is a great muffler/system. I have one on my EG, had it for 11 years, still no rice!

And its full stainless steel not just a section. I dont know why more people don't use them because they make quality products.

you can't go wrong with THERMAL especially with full stainless. Plus the fact that you can keep it quiet if you drive normally. Of course since you're in cali i'd say go with the ST system just to keep it from gettin noticed by the popo.
