if it's too loud for you why don't you take it toa muffler shop and have them cut and weld a resonator on. They also sell resenator cat deleats. 2 of them should quit you down alot. It's probaly cheaper then selling yours and buying another.

I don't mind loud, As long as i Get some Reasonable performance out of it. But my Freind has a hks with a helix DP and Ultimate Racing Test pipe, His isn't all too loud, like when he WOT it gets pretty loud, but if you drive normaly it doesn't sound stock but Not like honda loud. So it sounds just right IMO. But As I said before I don't mind being loud.

put the stock cat back in to reduce the sound and then buy another catback.

eventually you'll get used to the evo hum

It will fit as long as the turbo xs test pipe is a 2 bolt pattern instead of 3. Where is your o2 bung? I have the one in my hipower catback and there is rubbing issues, I pounded out the bottom of my car a little and now it fits fine

i have the turbo xs but I still have the stock cat on and its not loud at all. So maybe try that out.

i honestly think that the exhaust doesnt sound loud enough so im just waiting for my test pipe

there is a difference between pleasant loud, like a corvette or an AMG sounds, and ugly loud, like a 20y old buick sounds when you take its catalytic off.

considering we have 4cyl engines, its difficult to pick the right TBE, for that right sound. i doubt anyone wants their Evo to sound like a Harley Chopper without a silencer that you can hear from 8 blocks away, and that scares the whole block

that is the problem with our cars. A 4cylinder just isn't going to sound that good. But to add my 2cents in I say ETS FTW. Ets exhaust puts every1 elses to shame.
