Swapped to a new exhaust!

Looks great and sounds good too (youtube clips) Your smart choice Fujitsubo has an HKS and Greddy blend sound that probably has no drone with the trap cans.
Interesting quad splitter, what size pipe & material (titanium or stainless steel) from catback?
It looks to be fabricated from left over NASA Saturn V rocket engine parts.

I think this is their $3,400 version, yes/no?

It also sounds like my AWE Touring ($1,300).

There are two schools of thought here, pick one with best sound & features, or pick one that keeps the OEM triple-tip look with less choices.
I’m in group two as 3 is what makes it special to me.

Ebay fake front grill vent mod. OEM will go back on during winter months.

looks pretty good for a replica... the color could be more darker though. Are you gonna paint it to better match? Can you provide a link?

Installed.
Used some satin black vinyl wrap I had to cover the crash bar.
Mine are coming in on Thursday. I was concerned about the unfinished vents against the glossy bumper, but your pictures put me at ease.

I'm curious why Honda didn't use those vents to start off with. Looks so much better!
That's a good question, it's possible that it might have hurt the aero vs helping it. That's probably my best guess. It might also allow water into areas they may not want it to enter while driving, though that's less likely.

Got this installed today. Throaty sounding exhaust. It has plates to control the resonator to have it wide open, partially blocked, or completely blocked. A little too aggressive wide open for daily driving, so I’ll play with the other plates in the days to come. Honestly, for a weekend car, there is a slight bit of drone (when wide open) that would be tolerable, but probably not for a DD IMO.
