Default HKS - Nismo - Stillen True Dual

i had the hks hi power exhaust and loved it. top end opened up and the sound was just amazing. well i got a ticket and decided to go low key with a nismo exhaust. i had the nismo for about a week and hated it. the car felt sluggish and felt alot slower than the hks. the tone was nice and it was pretty low key but i wasnt happy at all with the performance. today i installed the stillen true dual and 1st impression was WOW. i think the top end is better than the hks. and the tone is a slightly softer nismo. thought id share my experience with yall and i'll get pics up soon =D

They were rated the best for NA gains for awhile. From my understanding the sound is a bit subtle.

agreed on both parts. top end opens up and the sound is a more subtle version of nismo IMO

Hey gimpster do you get any hint of rasp all up top at all? For some reason mine does. And when I added my cats it got a tad louder. But doesn't sound like a civics though.

My exhaust is pretty loud. I have the kinetix HFC's and stillen TD. My neighbor says he can hear me come home at night all the time. I dont even give it much gas on my street.

stillen, hks, injen ses are all great exhaust designs IMO. I'm not that crazy about the nismo design, since it's just like stock except bigger.
