Check Out My Xmas Present From My Sweetheart

Got it this morning, got it installed and I just got back from a test drive. I am quite impressed with the quality and workmanship and the sound is awesome. It is so pretty you could almost put it on a mantle for display. At idle it is almost as quiet as the stock exhaust but has a subtle deep full tone that is not overbearing and obnoxious. The sound at wot is similar to a Ferrari or one of those high priced sports cars - pleasant and still not excessive but a full baritone throaty sound.
There is a difference in power as well. Seems to respond more quickly and also runs a touch smoother through the full range of rpms.
If anyone is interested I will get a sund byte to post.

Have a great xmas all, thanks for all the interesting info, pictures, and invaluable data, not to mention all the diverse opinions I have had the priviledge of enjoying.

Chuck

ps - thanks Pam for one of the nicest gifts Ive received in decades. I am a lucky man - let me count the ways!!

My other half (girlfriend) bought me an air compresser for Valentines and hoping something cool is in store for Christmas.

The exhaust looks great!

Gotta love our significant others.

Now go back to the parts bin and replace the "clear corners" with the stockers and save us from the Honda mods.

You guys are lucky...most of the girls ive been associated with couldnt differentiate and air filter from their ***. God love the good looking girls though(who think cars have blinker fluid, and muffler berings) If i could find a girl that is cool and likes cars i would marry her. Usually girls hate our cars because we work on them all the time. They girls get jealous SOOO easily, and its just metal!

She is my girlfriend going on 2 years. I tell all my buddies that I am looking for a third x-wife. Hmmm.

Women dont usually buy guy things for their men. Explained this to my gf and I believe we came to an understanding.

Jeff,
Would you believe Im color blind. How about this, in order to get that beautiful exhaust system, I had to put on the clears to appease the gf. Or maybe, the car talks to me and secretly wishes it would grow up to be a honda some day. haha.
Actually, I like the contrast between the clear and black but I do save all my oem parts just in case I get that wild hair to go back.
Have a great holiday.
chuck

This jealousy thing is an interesting phenomenom. I do get a lot of "youre always out there rubbing, petting, fondling, playing with, or stroking your black bitch". My answer, its a guy thing, like reading while on the john or fixing things instead of talking about it, our little mobile cave/den. I think if they knew too much about our cars then our sacred domaine would be compromised. Good luck in your quest!

My s/o got me a set of Racing beat sway bars (F+R) and a torque brace for the FD for X-mas (in the car category) and then the usual other gifts (new laptop/a few hard drives/$$$/DVDs and tons of clothes)

I must have been good
