Re: loud civic.

its the aftermarket headers. when i bought my civic the guy said that he first had aftermarket headers with no aftermarket exhaust and it was loud as f*ck. then he put the exhaust on it and it sounded like it was supposed to. then i put the CAI in it and it made it sound puuurrrfect. except for the damn rattle around 1700 rpms or when i dont press the gas hard enough and the clutch too much.
