My Sol is medium volume, in a deep bassy way that's not obnoxious... I was worried at first of sounding incredibly nasty and noisy, but it ended up REALLY nice. I'm more than pleased.

My setup: custom piping (2.25") and a Bosal Bro-speed muffler (yes, Bosal), the one with two outlets - I can go duck under the car and get the exact model number if you're really interested.

And yes, the N1 on my friend's 95 Civic was angled rougly 45 degrees. I'm not sure, however, if that was the shop that installed bending it to his specs, or if it came that way. Maybe somehow else has one and knows for sure...?
