I have put about 100 miles on the exhaust so far.

Previously I was running ACE CS400 header, HKS resonated FP, and a Tomei 60s. That combination was blistering to the ear drum, but when I wanted it to be loud it checked that box a couple times and definitely turned heads.

While waiting for that ACE I installed the stock exhaust in place of the tomei. Finally I could enjoy my daily drive without blasting music to cover the exhaust. On the low end it sounded fine, but shortly after 4K rpm it would get extremely raspy and sounded very much like an autozone Honda exhaust.

Finally I was able to install the ACE exhaust. I was in the shop to install E-85, oil cooler, and catch cans so I had them install the exhaust as well. So I can't speak to install difficulty.

The exhaust has a slightly deeper tone than the stock exhaust on cold start and idle and is perfect for me living in an apartment complex. Sounds great but doesn't wake the neighbors. Once out of the gates this exhaust sounds fantastic. It is a deep just above stock sound up to 3.5k and then she has a nice growl up through the rest of the powerband. There is a little rasp up near 6k but it sounds just as it should.

The craftsmanship on the exhaust is top notch, and as of now I can't say anything other than praise. I'll be sure to post more once I've put more miles on her and a couple extended canyon runs.
