How can I get my Civic to sound deep and throaty?

Do you want loud deep or quiet deep? Are you mechanically inclined? How much do you want to spend?

I'm right with him. I want a load deep and price is not an issue. And yeah I can change out everything.

If you have the tools, build yourself a custom exhaust. It's a fun project for a couple hundred in piping. If you don't want to do that, take it to an exhaust shop and have them do it.
If you want it loud, then run a straight pipe from the downpipe. For my setup, I added a straight-through magnaflow and I am happy with that sound. I lived with a straight pipe for a few days and that to me was not practical. Though I was running 2.5" pipe, which may make a difference.

Don't have the tools for that. More or less just want to buy something I can bolt on.

There are a few bolt-on exhausts for the 1.5t that will run you a bit over a grand. Though someone with that engine will probably have done the research on which is best!

Yeah I've been looking, but can't find what I'm looking for yet. If I do, I will post.

From what I've picked up on this forum, the Invidia N1 seems to be a popular option, likely because it's cheap. Though I can't say I find the large exhaust tip very aesthetically pleasing.

I would like to have it loud deep, similar to a Subaru if you know what I mean. Any suggestions for that?

It's the horn that needs to sound deep and throaty. Maybe the horn reminds some folks of the ricksha or little mopeds or something in Asia but seriously, what the heck are the designers at Honda thinking.

Sorry, back to topic.

I bought a cheap low-tone horn and wired it up in conjunction with the stock horn, makes it low enough not to sound like a moped but I'm sure you could make something nicer!

If you want it to sound like a Subaru prob should have bought one of those as this is not a boxer motor. Otherwise I'd just wait til more aftermarket exhausts come out.

Get a custom 3inch exhaust

Get a custom 3inch exhaust

How much do they cost?

Depends on the shop, some charge more than others. I paid 460 for mine, full 3inch quad tip
