Mine treats me just fine. Easy install, well made, and sounds great with a Bonez racepipe.

It sounds like a huge, pissed off chainsaw with a header though.

please dont use the silencer that goes at the end of the muffler, just keep the stock exhaust for that, since you have a n/a i guess its not to bad but if you have a turbo that totally unaccepteble, just save your money and buy a racing beat exhaust, im a strong believer of just do it once and do it right the first time

N/as are alot louder then turbos becuase the turbo cuts down alot of the harsh noises coming out of the engine.....

That being said, be ready to get pulled over and get tickets with the corksport, it would probaly be alright with a cat or big presilencer before it, but using just headers to a strait pipe and then to the corksport catback is going to be LOUD

Any Apexi N1 style exhaust on an N/A rotary will be loud. If you do go this route, get a good silencer (not an 'el cheapo one) and the noise level will be better.

We tried an Apexi N1 style with a RB presilencer on my friends N/A and that thing was super loud. Then we slapped on a turbo on the same N/A engine and the exhaust was very quiet with the same N1 style canister. We even replaced the silencer, added a straight pipe, a racing beat downpipe and the car was still quiet enough to have a conversation inside the car.
