thermal R&D

i know the performance on this exhaust is good, but how is its sound compared to the DC TCS and others. is it louder than the DC TCS? is it noticeable from a distance?

the thermal isnt that loud but it sounds nice.there are two reason why i got mine. First is that i lke to hear the sound of the cia and exhaust not just one or the other. and the second reason is that police i dont know about around you but they give alot of tickets for loud exhaust around me.................oh yea but is ok for a harley to be louder than a car can some plz tell me why thats ok [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

PACs, or lobby groups...the motorcycle PACs spend enormous amounts of money to keep the regulations for motorcycles lax. This is changing, though; a friend at work just got a very nice CF exhaust for his GSX-R1000 and has already gotten a ticket. He'll beat it though; the cop just THOUGHT that the exhaust was too loud but my friend has the documentation proving that his exhaust complies with sound level laws.

here is that clip courtesy of CivicS: Civic SI Thermal R&D exhaust clip (920KB, MPG video file)

btw, CivicS, is this a cat-back exhaust on this SI, and is it the Stealth model?

this is not my clip, some guy linked this clip a while ago, i saved it to my pc incase someone what to hear what is TRD like. I remember this is cat back exhaust on Si, dont know if this is stealth or classic exhaust system.

Slikor: i check your site, how u get $420 for catback system, got hook up?, i only have TRD rear section paid $300, well not loud enough. I wish i can get that catback system but too much they ask for Lx model!
