Mufler or an Exhaust

My Honda has a Ractive round carbon fiber wrapped muffler, it's more quiet, but it's high pitched. But, when I do gun the Honda the sound from the intake evens out the sound a little.

How does it feel driving compared to stock?
I might have to consider if it's pretty quiet.
Everyone has said that the WS2 is almost a stock sound until you go WOT. It's suppose to open up nice with a nice low grumble. I think it's almost like stock. Pipe size is pretty small but haven't found anyone to confirm what the stock pipe size is. The only thing about that exhaust that keeps me thinking about buying or not, is that my body kit has an oval cut-out for the exhaust, so I put an oval tip on the muffler I put on it, so it looks sexy and clean.. so I kind of don't want to change to a regular round tip, and wondering if the new exhaust would sit directly in the center of that cut-out.

I have an AEM CAI and denso iridium with ngk spark plug wires, and that's about it. The sound is not almost stock. If rank stock exhaust noise as 1, and greddy evo at 4, this ws2 is about 3. When I used to have the greddy evo, I can feel the vibration of my driver chair on my back above 3000rpm, and all my passengers (hehe, i'm doing carpool at my work) get headache very easily. The WS2 does not make any vibration so that's a good sign. Comparing to stock, it's a big improvement, it feels pretty fast.
At first I took the risk of buying WS2 because my first time with Greddy exhaust was horrible. Well, this 2nd risk is a good risk after all. Also, dont forget to buy new rubber hangers, I bought 4 new genuine Honda hangers at majestic honda. The old ones seem to stretch a little bit and might introduce vibration and hanging.

How is the TL-S exhaust doing? I was thinking of adding dual Accord V6 mufflers (and Honda trim tips) to my ride if I don't go full exhaust....

TL-S is fine, just always have my eye open. And when that eye sees something nice and shiny it sends ideas to my brain.

My piping is a bit rusty but nothing major.

Well I know my rear lip only adds about 3mm or so, just the thickness of the material is all because it butts right up against the stock bumper on the sedan. Does your come down a bit?
