Looking at the spec sheet, interesting things to note:

1. 5-speed manual is one gear to little (6-speed is almost a pre-requisite these days)

2. 75dBA at 70mph is friggin loud, period.
3. 6000RPM redline will not entice Honda guru's
4. 14.0psi of boost puts a lot of stress on the engine
Just so you know...most cars, such as my GS-R (w/stock cat back) is louder than 80 dBA (A weighted, non-weighted, it's about 88 dB)...so it's not THAT loud. Not trying to start anything, just stating that.
