nice muffler..I always wanted one of those cause they also look good as well as having an aggresive deep sound. Oh and btw I used to have a 4 banger SOHC mx-3 and i also had an aftermarket exhaust and it doesnt sound like a weed wacker. it actually sounded sporty. I prefer the sound of a 4 cyl with after market exhaust vs a v6 with aftermarket which is why my current v6 mx3 has a stock exhaust.

Can't believe how many ppl are hating on cans! I like em, have had em both on my MX and they only sound as good as the resonator/cat combo you are running. FYI here is mine with headers/2.5" piping/18" straight thru resonator and a Megan can (I guess it's kinda loud but I like it):

Those Apexi mufflers are high quality and sound good IMO but I dont think they make that much of a sound difference.

It's all about a balance of a nice tone and a NICE exhaust note. I learned that the rough way lol, the previous owner of the 94 i bought has the loudest exhaust ever lol dual can muffler no resanotor no cat its LOUD, I hate it!!!!! But if you keep the resonator you should be ok and our cars def don't sound like hondas........
95 RS so far just a paintjob, rims suspension next then turbo...
I have turbo dreams and detanation nightmares

Yeah. I'm upgrading my exhaust too. But you already know that E2blade.
Got a hole in the stock headers so THAT makes my V6 sound like an efffin weedwhacker. E2's car sounds nice, but i keep telling him his engine doesn't have enough outflow pressure to compensate for having that large of a pipe.
