Strength:

Best sounding exhaust, looks great, performs very well in its level, and bolts right on, no mods whatsoever.

Weakness:

Lacks the power of the N1, but like i said...it performs very well in its level.

Love the damn thing...Beatiful sound. It's quiet, not loud whatsoever...then when vtec hits, it gets a little deeper. Once again, beautiful sound all the way to redline.

Strength:

I suggest this be the second modification you do to your Honda if you want more power. Before even doing this you should get a cold air intake or short ram air intake to increase your air flow. I also bolted up some DC Sports CC headers after the intake and exhaust but got minimal power gains (not really worth the cost new but I only paid $125 on ebay for used).I ran a 15.9 at the strip with just those mods which puts me as quick a V6 accord. I also like the fact that I can roach the tires in second gear while crusing down the road now.

Weakness:

Not many as long as you understand there are systems out there that ake a little more power but also cost alot more too.

This cat back system bolted right up with no problems at all since instructions were provided as were all the required gaskets and new nuts and bolts. This is a "quiet" system that makes good power while not making your car sound like every other teen-racer's "bumblebee farting in a tin can" sound. The tip is a fairly large and ground clearance is lowered about 2" from stock on the cat-back muffler. Overall a very good buy if you can find them around yet.

Strength:

Wild horses unleashed, about 3-5 hp without any othe mod. Some balls with that cock

Weakness:

It is so boringly quiet. Oh man, you are not going to get attention with this things trust me. The middle pipe slam just about everywhere.

THis is solid exhaust. The horsey gains a definitely there, rolling burnout in 2nd gear where there was no burnout before. The look are old man -ish but it does look cleaner than stock. It is worth the money if you are planning to race as a sleeper.

Strength:

It has a nice deep tone to it. At high rpm's, it sounds great! It's not soo freaking loud like the Apex'i N1 or Dunk. It looks great and was easy to install.

Weakness:

My car isn't lowered yet so I haven't had any problems. I'm going performance first instead of show :)

I recommend the RS for daily drivers that want to be able to listen to their radio! It gives you performance and style. If your thinking of getting turbo for your car, maybe you should go with the N1.

Model Reviewed: 2000 Civic SI

Strength:

Quite at idle and puch in at high revs. You can have nice conversation or listen to your stereo while driving around 80mph in the high way @4500 to 5000rpm.

Weakness:

Looks is a bit retro or out dated. Very Low increase in hp.

The RS which is the predecessor to the WS system is a pretty decent system. It's cheap and easy to install compare to DUNK or N1. My friend installed the N1 on the same care and he has to weld an extra hook to hold the muffler in place. Although the HP increase is minimal and looks are a bit outdated, for the price...it's pretty good.

Similar Products Used:

N1...looks great! Sound good with silencer but without silencer, I'll have a headache if travelling in highway.
Also, compared to Tenzo-R system which the RS beats it hands down.

Strength:

sounds great at high rpm's, but a little louder than stock in the lower rev's.....which is good not to get any unwanted attention..:)

Weakness:

nothing really.....just the piping b/c my car is lowered it scrapes everytime im at school going over huge speed bumps!

I think its a much better buy than any exhaust i ever owned (N1, Greddy), b/c its just perfect sounding, not too loud when you wanna listen to the radio, and it grumbles when you're making that stoplight to stopllight sprint or pounding the gas on the freeway...it actually surprised me the first time i got in the higher rpm range b/c it sounded weak on regular throttle....all around good buy....

Model Reviewed: 1998/Accord

Strength:

It sounds good: Real quiet when idling and at lower RPMs; Nice, aggressive tone when you punch it. The muffler catches eyes at night time when the driver behind you has his headlights on.

Weakness:

On my car, the piping hangs pretty low, so it will scrape whenever I go over a speed bump too fast or when I hit a bad dip (car is lowered).

I do recommend the RS because it provides a decent amount of performance asked for in an exhaust made for daily driven cars. It also provides a nice deep tone when you want it, and quiets down when you dont want to hear it.

Similar Products Used:

Apex Dunk: The RS is all around a better exhaust, I think. Its pretty passive when it needs to be, but when asked to be aggressive, it gives a nice output. It also looks better than the Dunk.
