The APEXi WS (and i know this bc i have one on my car) is a clean looking, and quiet. It is almost as quiet as stock. On a quiet night you can hear it when you walk behind the car, but you won't hear it inside. The best description is a deep burbly sound. If you want noise (and hearing aids by the time you're 40) then go with something else. I have a wife and 2 girls and this was the only way to go. I am very pleased with this product, even though it was around $410. APEX does, however, take a rather long time to ship from Japan. Be prepared to wait up to 2 months for your exhaust. Regardless, I wouldnt put any other exhaust on my Accord as it is still family transportation and grocery getter (when i'm not driving like it's the indy freakin' 500 LOL).
