Looks good, how's the sound of the exhaust? Is it loud and raspy, or does it have a nice deep tone?

Sounds amazing. Loud enough and deep. When it's really hot out it gets a little throaty but i think even then it sounds sick.

That's good to hear. I was behind a DA integra last night with dual exhaust and it was very loud, raspy and annoying. Having a Lexus, it's nice to have a deep throaty sound, and not a bee-hive sound like a lot of other 4-bangers, lol.

haha yes, that is for sure. I always get compliments on how the car sounds and how throaty it is. Everyone also says you can't compare a Honda to the sound of mine. they tell me there is no comparision lol.

Looks nice!

I'm trying to find one that is just a tad lower in tone than the stock, but doesn't drone on the highway.

I have a Megan Racing Axle back exhaust for sale that I just bought around feb or so for my car and bought this HKS. heres the link to it on craigslist. the sound is relatively close to stock.
