The exhaust was getting to raspy for me and really started annoying me lately. I would shift before 3000rpms just so it wont get raspy and annoying (raspy at 3k). I had the stock exhaust sitting here and figured, im sure it will be better, and power loss wont be THAT noticeable.

So i took an hour to put the stock exhaust back on, and took it out for a drive. It sounds GREAT! I miss this sound so much, the screaming motor and thats it. No more ricer sounding exhaust. When VTEC is hit and up at 8000rpms....the motor is an awesome sound. Never going back to any other than stock!

So yea, with a header, test pipe, and some stock exhaust, its so much better than a header, test pipe, and some Greddy EVO 2.

 

sounds like a good move. One of my buddies with a Gs-R should do the same thing and found a itr exhaust.
