Its the Warlock Catback by Airmass. It has a really deep sound. The sound at idle is a very airy sound. Like a lot of air is being moved. I really like it. The best part is when you down shift it sounds awwsome.

Does it sound like a bumble bee in a can?? What do you mean "airy" sound...Ive been looking for a exhaust with a canister shape like yours. Im not into the cyclinder shape exhaust like the evo or n1.

no its not raspy at all. I guess the best way to explain it is if you had a really deep hair dryer. It only sounds raspy bee like when you first turn the car on. Once the exhaust gets warm theres no rasp.

The DX comes with a F23a5, it's a SOHC non-VTEC making 145hp (arguably 135hp, depends on the source). It's non-vtec :( Although, with only intake (I don't run cold air anymore, had a few too many scares with hydrolock) and cat-back exhaust, I can take most Accords. Speaking of which, I may dyno tomorrow

Both pbateson and I have '98 Accords, 6th Gen... F23a5... Stock= 135hp / 145lb
I have a question for those of you with the DX... do you have a ULEV or LEV sticker on your back windows? I don't have either, my car didn't come with it. Just curious.
