I know, but he was saying it sounds great. I just don't see how many straight flow mufflers sound great. But to each his own.

 

why did the sound change over time?

 

You get what you pay for. Bottom line.

 

i'm still in question; if he got a quality muffler only (like skunk2), why would that deteriorate?

 

true specially when i had a exhaust leak in the cheap nissan sentra i had two years ago
it was so loud that ordinary people thought i had cat back or something.i hate sentras they are the worst ever.
on the other side civics are way better
civic for life

 

Nah, a good brand shouldn't deteriorate. I have netami twin loop with custom piping, and the sound hasn't changed at all.

 

If I had a nickel for everytime...

 

Its not rice because it looks like a stock muffler. And its not like I couldnt afford one. I just had that sportbike muffler laying around so I said hey what the heck I wonder what it sounds like. And it sounded good so I kept it. It goes along with the whole sleeper look too.

 

Rice isn't just looks. Plus having a bike muffler isn't exactly sleeper, I guaranty your not getting any more hp from it than stock.

 

I really wasnt concerned about how much power it made. And I would expect it to make some because it replaces a restrictive muffler. There is really no way to know unless you dyno the car, which you havent done so you really cant say that im not getting any HP gain. Like I said in the first post this is a temporary setup until I get my cat-back system which should be about 2 weeks. lol I never thought my sportbike muffler would recieve so much critizism.
