Summary:
good overall tone. At low rpms it is really deep, by 4-5ks it starts to growl and sounds very smooth not raspy at all. Over 5.5 the intake kicks in louder which is good so the exhaust isn't too loud even withoutt he silencer. I only have it for a week now and i feel it may get louder in the future. Car definitely runs smoother.

Strengths:
Deep tone, not too loud, better throttle response

Weaknesses:
canister was bigger than i thought..lol

Summary:
I am usiig this system with an aem v2, with the silencer out it is fairly loud but extremly smooth sounding. With the silencer in it is fairly quiet, the silencer seems to help alot, making it great for everyday driving, there has been a slight powre increase, most is felt in the vtec range and even more with the silencer out. great allaround exhaust one of the best i have ever heard. it you buy one i think you will be suprised how good it is, I was. If you want an exhaust that sticks out at an angle this is not for you . Over all tanabe did an amazzing job. I highly recommend this system

Strengths:
smooth sound (deep, rich sound, no buzzing fart can noise) Looks awesome power is always decent bonus

Weaknesses:
i think it sounds a little ricey from about 3500 to 4000 rpm but only because the silencer started rattling a bit, i tightend it down but it didnt help

Mganflow- it was ok but this exhaust beats it hands down, it sounds better and makes more power, and i think this one looks better, the magna flow was too close to the bumper, had a tight fit.
