I find that RM01A is quiet as mouse when idle but when VTEC kicks in, thats a whole different story, it screams! Having said that, when revving it hard, its quite loud (I would rate it moderate) but not those kind of loud that makes your ears feel like exploding. I think it has a nice racing noise and suit my liking.

Personally, I like this type of exshaust and I am really happy with it. Plus now with the RAWRRRR of the GruppeM....feel like Vtec it all the time...LOL

I am yet to dyno it but really haven't got time these days...hopefully i can spare some time in near future.

But in terms of the RM01A, whats it like on idle, rev and vtec? I noticed on videos it has that drone (I hate it) but during cruise/vtec its sweet. I know you have headers as well so it could affect the overall sound.

Powegetter tip is too long for my liking really.

What are you all talking about......Mugen rules......lol......jkjk......
RM01A acturally quiet similar to mugen twinloop but once you complete ur I/H/E it will be louder on idle.......but consider the price and make quality.....they are gold.....I reckon this is the one to go.....have fun in ur new Type S bro.....

y get gruppem when u can get injen :P

**Chi** · 15-04-2008 12:35 PM

Because you ahve to cut bits and pieces to fit injen, and chances of hydro lock are higher

Where as gruppeM is a straightbolt in and fills in the engine bay nicely with CF goodness.

I assume the same concept applies to the intake.

GruppeM for looks and gains !

Police officers, thieves after they jack the car, mechanics, friends who wanna check out the blingness of the engine bay, people at track day when they wanna inspect the car etc etc.

But then again who really cares if you mod a dc5, its only a 4 cyl FWD Honda at the end of the day.

Each to their own I suppose.

You will enjoy the Gruppe-m on your Type S, throttle response and sound are well worth the money! I have a full Toda system, great quality and gains.. the tip is a love or hate thing though... But it really is a great sounding system, can't hear it on the free way but has a great note when on Vtec!! I can PM pic of tip if your interested
Cheers
