Google "Exhaust Tips" find the ones you like, (stainless) order then and have a muffler shop install them for you. Measure the OE muffler outlet pipe so when you order you get the correct diameter, slightly larger is alright smaller will result in unwanted restriction....

the hks and the hks rep exhaust are not rice. they are deep and smooth and not raspy. atleast the rep exhaust i had was nice all the way to redline. the greddy sounds stockish just a lil louder....i think it was an invidia exhaust i heard on a coupe that sounded f'n terrible when i was at the iso meet in mooresville a while back.

I love my HKS - I think it looks and sounds great...

I have heard other exhausts that i liked as well, but usually they are lacking in the visual aspect - i think the HKS is the whole package.

If I ever get rid of my whole setup I'm going full Motordyne.

HKS does not sound rice at all though. Never has that idea crossed my mind. Haven't heard an Xo2 in person though.

What're you going to define as rice? Cause I've heard some crap sounding civics that blow the doors off the G.

I think this whole "rice" thing is rediculous.

On topic though, I have the x02 and it sounds just fine to me. Of course not as smooth and nice as Motordyne, but it's not bad.
Just recently threw on some Megan resonated test pipes and it did give it a little more "farty" sound so not as smooth as I'd like but again, it's not bad.

I love the OEM sound hence the reason I haven't taken it off.

I do love the oem exhaust note but I still wanted something more.
I have the Tanabe Medallion exhaust which was subtle and sounded great,
but after I put on HFCs it might be too loud now.
I don't think it comes off as rice though.
I'm just not willing to shell out the cash for the MD.
Tanabe is also one of the few aftermarkets exhausts that came with tips I liked.
