Yes I know what you mean! ive been driving this for only few days now and I realized that if your rpm goes beyond 6000 the growl kicks in. its like brooooooooooom then when rpm hits 6000 it becomes BROOOOOOOOOOOM

Hey nice si.

I saw one floor it past me yesterday in the on comming lane, and i have to completely admit, it sounds very nice, i don't know what the guy had for an exhaust system, but its like raptor33 like you said, brooom, then BROOOM.lol and the engine combined with the exhaust note was calming but agressive and very smooth deep exhaust note, unlike older hondas with very loud ear sour vtec and exhaust sounds.

very nice car, im looking to buy a si for daily driving maybe this new si is it.
