I had one on my Lude until a speed bump decided to rip it off.....

I thought it sounded really good, both with and without the silencer in. It's only really loud when you get on it. Cruising, its fine.

anyone around here know how honey is made?

I always see a big honey drip coming out of these exhausts, the n1 sounds like an attacking hive of bees on the prelude. I don't like it. The gt spec sounds f*n awesome though....I used to have one of those back in the dizzay.

The n1 sounds nice on smaller engines, like the b18c

i had it on my old 4th gen. It sounded good with and without the silencer. I didn't have any rusting problems on my cat-back after a couple years, but a friend of mine had some rust on his but he just had the muffler.

I have one on my 4th gen h22a and i like it, it does get raspy some times, but when you get on it. Yummy.Also sometimes it will surprise you with some gurgling.

Search youtube. That's what I did when I did the catback on my STi. I'll do it again as I make progress on the prelude. There's more exhaust sound clips on youtube than you can shake a stick at. whatever that means.

well i heard the sound clips on youtube....a little ricey for me. I like the sound of the mugen twin loops. Anyone with the N1....is it obnoxiously loud inside the car because i hate that when it practically vibrates the whole ******* car.
