Default How does this exhaust sound with my setup?

It's a '99 Prelude with a Greddy turbo, soon to be tuned running 8-9 psi.

Exhaust:

3" downpipe
Carsound cat
3" catback exhaust
magnaflow muffler

*all mandral bent

Does this sound right for my setup? I was thinking about going with a test pipe, but I can't find anyone to make one for me, and I think with the carsound it will sound better, plus it will be legal.

Any opinions would be great, thanks!

I'm running an b16a, 18g, 3" downpipe, 3" exhaust all the way thru with a magnaflow muffler and it sounds pretty good. Not too loud at all....

B16, 3" downpipe, no cat, 3" apex'i N1. Quieter than a N/A car with just a 2.5" N1 catback.

I'm basiclly just wondering if 3" is going to be to big. I plan to be running 8 - 9 psi after tuning. Any other thoughts?

by rule, it depends on the amount of power you are producing at 8-9psi. some argue that anything under 300hp should stick to using 2.5". It doesn't hurt to have 3" but is just considered overkill at lower hp figures. My opinion is that even at lower hp figures, you may not get the benefit of getting extra hp from it, but you do get the benifit of slightly lower temps with the lower amount of backpressure.
