Default Kore Cat-back exhaust

There was some guy on here recently that just put a Kore cat-back on an accent. His car was an auto and he got good power/mileage gains. How about sound? I don't want my car sounding like a giant bumble bee buzzing down the street annoying myself and everyone around. Perhaps that type of ricey crap is good for the 19 yr olds but I'd like my car to remain fairly quiet with perhaps a bit of a meaner sound to it but with more power and better gas mileage. Hows that Kore cat-back system measure up in these regards? My car is a manual.8D

i have it on my car . . . and i have a manual. it sounds really good. it is does not make the ricey bumble bee sound. with the silencer out it is not quiet though. but with the silencer in it is very quiet. as far as gas mileage goes . . . i havent really noticed an increase in it, but neither have i really noticed a decrease. its really easy to put on too. for 400 bux you really cant go wrong with that system!

I love mine. DEFINITE increase in top end power. I've only driven it w/o the silencer, but its still not loud or buzzy at freeway speeds and my intake is louder over 4k rpms when i'm pushing it. Fitment is perfect, it mounts right up to the existing brackets and only took 2 hours to install (most of that was letting the wd40 soak into the bolts).
