I think everyone knows about those. It's all personal preference on what you think sounds "good". Just try to find sound clips of the exhaust or listen to someone's car if they have a particular exhaust on it.

The Apex'i exhaust and HKS Hyper (if they still offer it...) are the R0x0r.

HKS makes the best IMO.

"Best Exhaust" is an open ended question. You really cant go wrong with any of the quality catbacks. If you go the budget route of exhaust shop pipes and a cheep-y muffler anything can happen.

As for the higher "raspy" sound we are used to hearing from honda, that is less likely with your car because of the 2.4L of displacement. And if you should swap motors, say sr(2L) or ca(1.8L) the turbo acts as a kind of silencer giving you a good tone.

GP sports gives a deep and notable tone even on NA...just very loud (clearly louder than an Apexi N1). Apexi is nice since it's got stainless construction all the way through, it's all just one piece (but that'll also burn you with shipping) and it's resonated unlike the GP spec D. HKS is supposed to be good too, although I don't have experience with them personally.

I have the GP Sports Spec D exhaust. It sounds so sexy. I like the way it sounds better than the N1. But its not like its a giant difference. I also got it alot cheaper than the N1 costs. I got it at http://www.tougefactory.com for $400 with free shipping. And a free T-Shirt! I was gonnaget the N1 but the shipping is outrageous because its 1 piece.

Damn, I wouldve highly considered that exhaust if I knew they were coming stateside. Oh well Im content with my Spec D

do you mean the bolt on kit for the KA or is there another turbo kit you are referencing to. I noticed a lot of people use their intercoolders, BOV's, and Downpipes

I have the N1 Dual, it is a little too loud for my taste. Q: When I installed it it pulled the exhaust downpipe towards the transmission. Anyone else experiance this, is it a problem? It's been on for over a year now. I would say that it has more power on the highway now.
