Yeah if you want something a bit louder than stock but no quite as aggressive as the aftermarket ones, the GXP's OE catback is your best bet. I still keep my OE one for no other reason that I might revert back to stock if I want to sell the car.

I believe coupes are more susceptible to drone than roadsters.
was the 2.0 exhaust a direct bolt on? any performance increase? My coupe already has dual outlet exhaust, so changing lower valance not needed.

I had the stock GXP exhaust on my '06, with Norm's rear dual outlet fascia. That was a used exhaust that had some, um, quirks, but it worked for me for almost 50k miles. I won a Solo exhaust at the charity auction at NASSAM last year. I think the Solo system on my car looks better than the GXP, it fits great, and sounds good. It's definitely not loud. If you're considering a Solo exhaust, I'd talk to them about what you want in terms of sound and fit, and they can put together something.

Me personally, have tried the cat-back performance exhaust from magnaflow. It gave a subtle deeper rumble, but nothing like a straight piped loud annoying fart can honda. I'd say magnaflow is the best if you buy the full cat back, but then again I havent heard what else is out there!

I know there is ddm works, zzperformance and you can get custom welded ones. But I would like to know your guy's opinions too!
