See, im the opposite...I think that the equal length headers make it sound more "ricer" for lack of a better term.

I don't know that I've ever heard one with an equal length manifold.

And of course this is all personal opinion. I just happen to know that my opinion is correct.

I know what you mean with the "ricer" term, but you're wrong.

Iv yet to hear one in person, but all the vids iv heard make it down like a civic that needs a tune up. When you get yours, I must pay you a visit.

Cool deal. My Tanabe exhaust is going to be pretty quiet, so we'll see how long I actually wait to buy one.

I'd rock one if I could afford it.

They aren't THAT slow on the 'topside.' I mean, ya a fwd/rwd car trapping the same mph as the STI will outrun it on the interstate but from a stop it will own.

30r will solve those problems.
