Default Exhaust

Does anyone know how the Thermal R&D turbo 3" exhaust sounds for a civic? If anyone has a sound clip id like to hear it, im not a fan of the loud N1 style sound(just my oppinion) or does anyone know if it compares to Apexi WS or the Greddy SP?

I've always heard the World Sport was great to get. Pretty quiet, not for the ones who want loud and noisy exhausts... but it also gives off a good sound under the throttle.

Oh I didn't even read that part, yea, wouldn't be good to slow down exhaust like that... not sure about that particular exhaust you speak of though.

I don't know about Civics but they sound pretty good on DSM's.

Is it a subtle note idle and normal driving yet agressive when you step on it?

Thermal is a stright through design, similiar to N1 or Tanabe Racing Medalion so it will be loud. Turbo's make pretty good mufflers so it probably won't be as bad as if you didn't have one but it won't be quiet like a WS or large muffler style exhaust.
