If you're comfortable dropping some $$$, Apexi WS2 is my favorite. If you're on a budget, Yonaka makes a WS2 clone that is amazing, and it's $250.

+1 on the Apexi WS2. I've heard a lot about the Yonaka but I always fear the quality of cheap products.

Same here, I have WS2 and love it. I've had GReddy and DC Sports in the past, APEX'i is the best out of those IMO.

Something to remember, if your want quality sound/tone (it is a honda so it is going to sound like the rest) you need to think about using the same size thoughout, using resonators etc. My old Greddy power extreme sounded great on my GSR(large 2.5 collector then the 70mm or whatever it was to the back with a 18in resonator). Deep, no tingy bs. Put the same exhaust on my coupe with a cheap megan racing header and no where near the same tone. WS2 is a good catback, I am just saying think about the whole setup, if youre on a budget then just keep it on the back burner for the future.

I have DC headers to an Apexi N1 with no resonators... It it deep and doesn't have that raspy sound... But it is loud! Drones on the highway and I have to throw it in neutral when I see a cop... I'm saving for the WS2 currently. I'm also skeptical on buying another Yonaka product. I have their coilovers in my car right now and after about 4 weeks of having them I'm looking to order my GC/Koni today. Not a fan of Yonaka but I know exhaust are different. Save and do it right the first time!

I don't think I'd trust them with suspension.. the exhaust, though, has been highly praised. Everyone I know that owns one, absolutely loves it. Apparently, it is a very good knock-off of the WS2.

The only thing I done like about the yonaka is the long exhaust tip.

Is the Yonaka quiet? I may consider the Yonaka now because of the reviews. Does it drone at all on the highway?

From what I understand, it's very low and deep, no raspy/rattly crap. I've heard that it does not drone on the freeway, but keep in mind, this is all going to be dependent on your other mods, too. Intake and headers will effect the tone, as well as a cat (or lack thereof haha). I'm going to be ordering one, just because it's so damn cheap, and so revered

I think I'm going to order one also. I could sell the N1 and almost make money for the price of the Yonaka and if it does I could always add the vibrant ultra quiet resonator

Yeah I just want something that at cruising speeds or accelerating its very quiet but if I get into higher RPMs it sounds nice

Depends on the one you get and if you have cats and or a resonator.
