Surprisingly not bad actually. Its definitely loud, but just cruising around you don't notice that much in traffic. Its not a super obnoxious lawn mower sound that would attract unwanted attention if you drive normally.
Great looking car! About the dp it will be loud and have a smell since you went catless I have the catted version with the full race exhaust and it's still pretty loud when I get on it... And I have the hiss sound too, the catless will also have the same hiss sound but a lil louder I think.

Ahhhh my bad. It was booty
If I am just cruising and under 4k rpms, it isn't bad at all. Hard acceleration and above 4k rpms is when it is loud. The above 4k rpms is the worst when travelling highways. 70+ mph and it is always quite loud.
During VTEC, the intake actually drowns out the exhaust though. The PRL SRI has a very loud and mean growl to it.

I went back to the stock intake because iv heard not really any I take has any gains. Does that intake have any gains? And should I get an rbc manifold?
RBC is only a good idea if you plan on going the turbo route.
3.5" intakes with a tune will result in some gains.

Well one day I do wanna go turbo. But I couldn't even think about the time and money it would take right now so that will be either never or forever lol but as in just as an all motor right now would the rbc be ok?
There will be better places to spend the money instead of the RBC at the moment.
EDIT: So I read through your thread. The DP/catback from FR is a great place to start. Spend the RBC money on a proper (worth it) intake and retune. After that there are a few suspension bits you could look into. If you do decide to go turbo in the future just roll the cost of the new IM into the cost of the kit. Do it right, do it once. If you don't end up going turbo you won't have spent money you didn't need to.

With an RBC, you will gain some hp at the topend (near redline), but sacrifice considerable torque in the low/mid-range. The tradeoff is not worth it.

Ahh I don't want lose torque! To me that why this Si is so fun. Well then il probably just get the PRL SRI then for the stock IM.

Yea me too. When you hold it you can feel the quality and can tell they know what they're doing. And a badge? That's pretty cool I bet that looks awesome!
