This one actually made a more noticeable difference, and it sounds mean as hell. I got a few filter lyin around right now, I have a nice one now, I forget the name, but its good for my turbo.
I know, I had a CAI w/ a AEM cone on b4 I got your intake pipe and then I put this one on and DAMN, it was just as loud, and the responce is BETTER, which I was like so now Im just gonna do the TB heater DIY and call it a day, lol

to each their own

well i hate the rice noise the hondas have. thats why i went magnaflow, i couldnt be happier with it.. very low deep and throaty. no rice even when the vtec kicks. unless u have major work done to the internals i find it hard to believe the sti/evo sound... at least its not rice though

ive got a 2.25 pipe with a knock-off of a magnaflow and it produces a pretty low sound. i like it. gets me a little bit of attention, and makes people think the motor has more done to it than it does.

do your research before you make claims... check out this website from Magnaflow http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/dynos/15712.jpg i mean sure. if you buy all your stuff on ebay and use cheap filter laying around the house and buy axle back systems your changing nothing. i want the sound that magnaflow gives more quality than volume. again.. IF I WAS POWER HUNGRY I WOULDNT BE DRIVING A CIVIC but i like the power gains. it will now get out of its way.
