And the custom tip argument you make is ridiculous. On most exhausts the tips are not the actual pipes. Look at the Akropovic for instance. The tips are bolted on.

I would buy your civic logic if the tips were the actual pipes like on the Dinan Exhaust.
Dude,

The Active Sound has nothing to do with exhaust note. It only provides an induction engine sound at lower RPM's. Didn't you hear that sound clip that that one guy made with the Active Sound disabled vs enabled?

I am planning on doing a fully catless exhaust setup, hell maybe even without mufflers, who knows. I very much doubt there will be any issues with drone as the exhaust note is so muffled by the turbos and odd manifold setup of the reverse flow V8.
