Finally bought the exhaust I've been wanting for months. I bought it as a birthday present for myself. Took to a muffler shop and got it installed on Friday. Here's some pictures:
Before:

After:

I would post a video but the sound quality isn't any good. The exhaust sounds so much better in person. It's nice and loud and quiets down once up to about 65+ mph.
When idle, it has a low rumble but when you press on the gas, you can definitely hear it. My friend also told me it sounds really good when driving away.
Another part is that it makes a popping/crackling noise when shifting between gears.

Here is the link for the exhaust:

Also, here's a picture of the old exhaust. Look at all those turns!

Never seen this one before. It looks weird looking from behind.

It's a preference. It's as simple as how you like your food.

Not really. The metal underneath probably isn’t treat for rust prevention. Therefore water will get sprayed in there and begin to rust your reinforcement bar and possibly other pieces that are more important. Idk exactly what’s behind those vents.

Annual photoshoot with my car. Not much has changed since I last posted. All mods can be found in my previous post history.

Are those the HFP side skirts?

like i've said, it's all preference. Prior to cutting out the plastic, car has been thru some puddles of water before.

Great pics! Could you please tell me where you bought the cool shifter cover?

My apologies for the late reply - still out of country for a vacation. Ordered it from Aliexpress but I had to modify it a bit myself.

The new exhaust or the old one?

That'such better lol glad to hear they got the weight problem fixed

Yes the drive is noticeably better with the weight correction. I actually got a hold of corporate after noticing a bunch of scratches in the well where they used some tool to remove the old silver weights. They should be "taking care of me" this Friday. Just hoping the clean it up and buff it a little. It's matte black so if they intend on doing any correction hopefully they have paint on hand. Doubtful. I just don't want to leave that place fuming again.

Today I did a brake fluid change. I am at 2 years 51k and it just popped up on my maintenance minder anyway. Looks like it was a good choice.

Those are fog light covers? Did you just put them over the existing moulding?

How did you mount the screw to secure it? Also, any picks of your ride? The yelliw has me wondering how good it looks.

OR, i could just look at your profile pic. Looks magnificent! Custom? Can't be Honda option?

The yellow is the new Tonic Yellow Pearl, added OEM red H , and HFP side and front lip. Got a screw from Canadian tire, removed one plastic clip and replaced it with one of these.

If I had of know about well nuts as mentioned in another post I would have used one instead. As this will remove some paint . Not alot but it will happen.
