Default DC Sports?

I have a couple friends who run DC exhaust systems and they sound really nice. I know they make good quality parts as well. Although they don't make exhaust systems for the 2IS, I was just thinking maybe a DC mid pipe would be kind of cool? Opinions? Anyone done this yet?

I think the sound would be better with a DC mid pipe then that of Megan. Just a thought.

yeah their headers are really popular with the honda crowd. Like AEM they make close to nothing for our cars. I have the megan mid pipe with tanabe and I love it. Are you looking to go louder or something?

i don't think DC sports makes anything for the 2is.

go w/ ghettoaww's suggestion if you're looking to make more "sound".

Sometimes I think I'm the only guy here who bought his 2IS because it was NOT loud :P My last car made over 500 hp NA and set off other peoples car alarms at idle.


Megan midpipe's a good start for loud... Tanabe is beautiful and (relative to most axle-backs for this car) a good value, but it's the quietest of the axlebacks...

HAHA FUNNY FUNNY KURTZ!

But yeah, I dunno. I'm being difficult. I was thinking about getting a Borla system. Probably wouldn't help that much.

If you do a search I believe someone tried the Borla and found some quality/fitment issues with their 2IS system... Honestly if I was gonna drop the coin for a -full- illegal exhaust despite the relative small hp gains I'd probably go with the Joe Z race system... it's absolutely beautiful and fits very very well from my understanding.
