Im going to upgrade the exhaust on my 08 MS3. Now I dont know anything about which exhaust system sound good on this car. All I know is I dont want anything that will make my car sound like an asshole. Im talking about civic crx with open exhaust and coffee can mufflers type shit. I want nice deep, throaty kind of exhaust and I dont want it to sound ricey once I get past 4k rpm. What do you guys have on and more importantly do you have a sound clip?

So far the Magnaflow has the best sound to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcoP8W92VNk&feature=related

How is that performance wise? Let it be known that Im completely retarded when it comes to things with the MS3 because I just got it.. like 4 days ago. So you know, excuse my ignorance.

Enjoy the car for awhile as is imo. I have Corksport full exhaust and it probably is too much for most.

By nature, our MS3s will never sound like those tiny N/A Honda engines because it's turbocharged. That and the fact that we don't/can't rev to 8K RPM. The stock exhaust is pretty rumbly and deep as is, any aftermarket exhaust is just going to up the volume considerably and unfortunately, in most cases, unless you're going with a turbo-back exhaust (as opposed to a simple cat-back), you won't see a significant power gain.

all you really need is a dp/midpipe. corksport makes good stuff, and they are really good people!
