What is it? You said ricer, so Im guessing a coffee-can like set up I still refuse to touch my exhaust because Ive always hated that ricer sound...I think its very hard to get 4cyls to sound good. Although, Ive been considering the muffler delete... that doesnt seem to sound to much like a weed whacker .

muffler delete sounds horrid.

if you want a little more noise but still not TO ricey..get a catless downpipe.

Yes ark makes big coffee can exhausts. Subi owners rejoice!

no offense. after watching your youtube vid of your muffler delete i right then and there said to myself i would never have a exhaust sound that horrid.

My exhausts have always sounded good on both my cobalts.

Im still waiting for a decent sounding exhaust (i know a certian company that makes them for solstices that sound great). I've been in contact with them and might have them put a system together around spring

i enjoy low rumble now loud rasp. sorry. muffle delete sucks. many will agree

Yah Im planning on doing a downpipe, but Mass is strict, so Id be sticking with catted...either that or going catless and swapping back and forth every year....Id prefer to stay catted though. How do the aftermarket catted DPs sound?

How can it fit wrong..its the same damn exhaust as the lsj just a different flange.. I may just get the LSJ one and change the flange. 3" is too much for the stocker k04. i lost power with my hahn.. and gained power with my stock exhaust LOL
