Yes, if you buy one before 07/14/02 you get a powered by soy sauce sticker too

_ the stock exhaust is very nice, although a nice header would be a good investment. check this out compliments of Automotive Performance Engineering and honda tech. http://www.automotiveperformanceengi...om/header.html

seriously though, i had a racing medalion on my SI before it was torched. it gave a noticable dif in power, and a great tone. i like the ITR exhaust, but i was just wondering if i would recieve any real power gains by switching to the new supermedalion exhaust. i plan on getting a new header (dc jdm 4-1) but i really wanted to know about the exhaust

it is definitely not a quiet exhaust. It will louder than say their hyper or an apex ws but i would say not as loud as an N1 according to the ones i heard.

I was running the old Hyper Medallion on my VTEC Del Sol. It definitely made a difference on that car, I especially noticed a difference on the high end. And in 5th gear, I could actually FEEL vtec kick in rather than just hear it after installing the exhaust. Of course that was a B16 motor, but still. I liked that exhaust a lot. It was pretty loud though at WOT. But just cruising, it was a pretty deep and mellow rumble tone. Im thinkin about gettin one for the ITR. HTH

exactly how loud is it on the highway? annoying? comfortable for a long drive? put silencer in for long drive and is not bad at all? cost? can you actually carry a conversation without raising your voice? thanks.

with the silencer in you can talk on the highway. with it out, you'll definately have to raise your voice a bit
