What is the best sounding exhaust for under 2k?

That includes the full package of overhead pipe plus exhaust. I want to get something high quality.

It's all about personal preference, but those will help you find videos of different set ups and you can choose by listening yourself. Good Luck!

For $2k? Hell, all of 'em. You can spend $500 and get a very good one. Do that and save money for other mods.

IMO you wont get the nice deep rumble until you get a set of UEL headers, you'll get that signature Boxer sound with it

other exhausts IMO without this, just doesnt sound good

I've actually been surprised at the LACK of fart can exhausts for this car considering the market.

What is the best sounding exhaust for under 2k?

Not to offend the Honda guys but I haven't heard anything like listening to those cars with aftermarkets in the 1990's. Not even close. Even some of the stuff I hear now on other 4 cylinder platforms is terrible. I'm only saying the exhausts for this car seem to be better tested products with more r&d and therefore have better overall sound quality. Not all tho obviously.

I have the TRD but I'll be quick to say it is not the best one and was not my first choice. I LOVE the TRD it is expensive! It's very mature and has a deep bassy sound without being obnoxious. If it drones I haven't heard it. Seems perfectly mated for this car. Never boomy sounding or juvenile either. However, Borla and Corsa caught my attention first. I still love both and both have their attributes IMO. The Corsa has a slightly exotic tone to it and is the best I've heard to date. It is pricey tho depending on where purchased. The Borla offers GREAT sound for the money and ultimately the one I woulda chose had it been my own money but it wasn't. I had a dealer credit of $1k and got the TRD. I'm very happy with it as most are.
