- How long you have used it -
2 days and loving every minute of it.

- Why you bought them
I wanted something quiet and sound is under 93 decibels, plus it was made specifically for the Fit.

- What you think of the product
Top notch quality and a rather easy install, only took about 1 hour total.

- What you think of the sound
Fairly quiet, it only makes noticeable noise at idle and in the low rpm range.

- If additional modifications, please list
Lamin-X yellow protective film on foglights and 2500k Nokya Hyper Yellow Pro Halogen foglights

Nearly 3-4 months?!

I loved the look, it doesn't have or sound like a rice turd.

- What you think of the prodcut
I love the sound and the deep tone you get, then it just SCREAMS @ VTEC

It doesn't sound or look stock, it sounds like an Angry Fit.. especially once I pass ya

So everyone, after several months with this exhaust has it gotten louder? Or has the sound remained the same?

Are there any plans to develop a b-pipe for this and the Concept g? That would offer those of us who love Tanabe a full cat back option. Thanks.

I aslo have the same question. I had it on for a week, personally i like the sound. But I just dont like the look of the canister hanging down so low. I thought it would be tucked in just like the picture.
