We both know that the DC2R did not have sound deadening material at all and the B18C5 and K20A are both amazing engines that sound pretty awesome all the time.

The midpipe + axleback will be key to tuning the "sound" quality and "noise" production. Some people have had success with just going dual exhaust with a shared muffler. The stock axleback sounds bad with the ACE...very strong disclaimer there.
