I would say bassy! I know Speedelement on their rocket bunny frs at SEMA and it looked badass! The only thing is that I believe it's a bit heavy compared to some other exhausts on the market. Not sure if heavier than stock or not.

DC has had a bad reputation on quality as of late.

Unfortunately this is a problem with any exhaust on the market. I have a Milltek catback, which is known for making quality parts for the Audi R8, VW, and Bentley and have seen some costumers post terrible welds of their Milltek system; whereas, mine is fine and has no issues. It comes down to quality control and customer service. Haven't heard anything bad about DC's customer service so if you were to have an issue with quality, I'm sure they would help you out.
Here's a video I remember when buying an exhaust:[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDXSu-JDeWg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDXSu-JDeWg[/ame] |

I have the catback. No real drone, not too loud, I have no complaints. Am really satisfied with it and think its the best bang-for-buck exhaust.

I too have the DC cat-back, and have been very impressed with it. No drone at all at highway speeds which was a must for me, I hate drone. The fit and finish was very high quality. Funny, I thought it was actually a little too quiet at first. After about 3 months, it was fully broken in and now sounds simply awesome. Only gripe is there are four tabs welded to the "sound absorber" (used as a resonator). One of them broke off one side and I had to get it re-welded. Not a big deal, $10 repair. Of course, it might be because I live in salty upstate NY and have the exhaust on year round. Good choice for the price though!!!

I had this setup before and just recently change it due to wanting a larger diameter piping. I was happy with setup for street use and pretty quiet compared to other on the market. The exhaust is a bit heavier compared to other dual exhaust but it does have that baffle to reduce noise and I found the exhaust note pleasing. My biggest thing that it one of the lowest hanging exhaust so it does scrape easy. The price point nice and I know if you buy it new the honor warranty issue.

I ran the dc one before but have since switch to single exit due to my preference of the look. I find the dc louder then my evasive setup which has a cold start 99db, my Tomei 80mm had a 108db on cold start, and the dc i never measured but it little louder then evasive. I do find with catless header the exhaust became raspy with dc at 4k-5k clear out afterward, anything below or above that spectrum was a nice note to my ear. I heard when you catless header a lot of exhaust become issue with being raspy or droning. Good luck with your search.

are there any other brands that make that helm resonator on the midpipe like dc does? almost purchased q300 last night but after seeing this i'd rather go with dual canister setup from dc sports. they've been around since when i was a kid. fact that they're still around says something. now dc sports or q300
