I can't stand the wimpy sound of the exhaust of my base 2007 Fit DX. I want to replace the muffler with a sports exhaust that has a sportier sound, but not too noisy that it will give me headaches. I am seriously considering the Honda HFP axle back sports exhaust. However, I've heard from some owners who've installed the HFP, that the difference in the sound is barely noticeable. Is this true? I've seen some video clips of the HFP on Youtube and it does seem to sound sportier than the base exhaust system.

 

Its barely noticeable at a constant cruising speed; however, whenever the engine is under load (I.E. revving up or acceleration while in VTEC) then it gets fairly loud. Nothing over the top like a Spoon N1 or the typical fart cannon muffler. Its just a slightly more audible note that has a mature (not pingy or farty) tone whenever you are accelerating.

 

I ran mine with an Aspec mid pipe and honestly I wish it had been louder. It was incredibly quiet.
