doesnt sound corney to me , every1 wants there car to sound good.... sti's n srt-4's r on another scale though dude. 2 months ago i was dead set on getting an MS3 because i was just so sick of my little dinky 1.7 sohc but i decided not 2 and im just gana hold onto my little civ for a while longer.... Tsudo exhaust systems sound pretty good on our cars.. they might not be BIG name brand but i dont see the point in spending more then 300 bucks on an exhaust for a car that really doesnt take to bolt on's well. I would just put it on urself and see how it sounds..... if you're not pleased then i would just go to a shop and have them run it from the cat for a few bucks. Its never gana sound like an STI though
