If you want to make this 4 cylinder sound good you have to put in time, effort, and money.

Or you can just get lucky.
I have the original OFH. (The one you had to get on a waiting list way back when.) Attached to a V1 Manzo Catback. This is the original Manzo I got on Ebay for about 300 bucks. Everything had perfect fitment and sounded fantastic. After about 4 years or so the resonator started rattling. Manzo (assholes) would not sell me just the resonator so I found one on Ebay that was about the same size. Bought a cheapo POS welder and learned how to use it. I'm much better at cutting metal than joining it!
Got rid of the rattle and it sounds great. Idleing it sounds just like a V8. I get more compliments on the car's sound than anything else. Everyone says it sounds really powerful. I quit telling people that it really isn't.
6 years later it's still in almost new condition (except for the original resonator of course).
So not all Chinese crap on Ebay is junk.
