Pretty much my feelings. Only so much you can do with this 2.0L flat four. Every single exhaust I've heard for this car has always had a "ricey" sound to it once you started adding aftermarket headers and front pipes and whatnot - especially at the top end. Just gotta make the best of it. I spend 97% of my time driving this car at or below 4,000 RPM, to be honest, so for most of my use case, it sounds good. I'm *really* not a fan of how these cars sound at the top end, though. Very buzzy.

Having said that, I do think this setup sounds better than most of the others I've heard. The Dezod is the only other exhaust I truly like on this platform.
