This is the same question that gets asked once a week. Did you try searching for similar posts? Try checking Youtube for soundclips?

do you not realize you're just wasting money going this route? why dont you just keep saving until you can afford to get something decent?

current exhaust is annoying? DEAL WITH IT.

Oh no. I'm not going to rehash a subject that been beaten into the ground.

Go to the top right nav bar, fourth link over and try using the advanced search in the dropdown and see the same crap that gets suggested over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

STAY AWAY from Skunk2. Personally, I have an avoidance to putting catbacks onto ricers anymore. I was gonna put a Yonaka catback on my Civic but decided against it. And I'm glad I did. There are some way better options out there. I personally hate the sound of a lot of aftermarkets. However if you choose to go that route, I suggest the Yonaka cat. Good price for the quality and sound. But if you go for this, sound shouldn't be the biggest concern you have.

Stay away from eBay I'd also say. But maybe I'm too picky about welds holding. Skunk2 will rob you dry.

Grumble is right, Just look on youtube at sound clips and look around because at the end of the day it's up to what sound you like.

Go to your local parts store. Buy a Thrush Turbo muffler. Bring it to an exhaust shop. Pay them to run custom piping with a high flow cat and resonator. Same cost as what you linked, much more reliable, probably warrantied, and it'll sound a hell of a lot better.
