If I knew how to post pics on TR I'd show you pics of it on my car...All you see is a "stock" looking tip. When in Vtec you hear a deep tone from the exhaust and that's it. Of course your hear the cams screaming, but no raspy fart can like pretty much every other honda exhaust...Everybody says that their's sounds good until they hear it from the outside the car and it sounds like shit. I've been in other cars and had friends drive by me in my car in vtec and it sounds so mean....And it's not shiny at all...
