When you heard it in person, how deep was it? Does it remind you of any other exhaust? Was his only performance mod the se exhaust (no intake etc?)?
It was sort of deep, you will not really be able to get that type of sound with out I4s, half the sound comes from the engine itself. Its not ricey by any means, if you want to get an idea of how it sounds just go to you tube and watch lancer videos and scions, very similar sound.
He also had an intake, but i could tell the difference between the two, plus i was in the back near the exhaust.
Overall it sounds great, for a 4cyl it wont get any better than that, at least not for a while. Vibrant makes very good exhaust, they always have a deep sound but i doubt they will make out for our car.
The price is good on it, thanks for the link guys, the only thing is the blue burned tip, i am still a little iffy about that. But he didnt have an HFP kit, so the tip stuck out a bit, like any exhaust would, even stock. I have an HFP kit and it should line up right where the kit ends so maybe the blue tip wont look that bad after all
