After I get the car running I will go from there if I want it open or not. I actually may like the sound and may not. I wont know more until I hear this thing fire up! Guys thanks for your imput on this.

Route it back in. The maybe 5hp difference isn't worth all the noise. Sure it's fun to start with but it gets old quickly. Turn heads with the sound of the spool, not "which Honda is running open exhaust?" reactions. Open is fun for temporary use, or a track car, but it loses its appeal after the first 15 minutes of sane driving.
On my Subaru, the turbo (HTA Green, which is between a GT30 and GT35R) was so loud it made diesel truck drivers snap their necks to see what it was. I had plenty of ricers back off altogether when I gave it throttle. 2.5 liters and 21 psi does the trick no matter who makes the engine!

MooJohn that makes sense. I tried to route and fit the DM downpipe I bought for my setup today. Well it wont fit, not enough curve. Btw its a 3inch and this gives me more reason to make a custom 4 inch DP and route this into the exhaust. I prolly will have this pipe for sale in the classifieds soon!!!
