I just realized that you said you have a 2013, for some reason I thought you had a 2005-10 V6. On the 2013 unfortunately the GT muffler is not a direct fit because the connector is a different size. It can be done but you need to change the mid-pipe. I had the MRT Interceptor for the GT on my 2013, but I had a completely different exhaust because I had a turbo on it - when I removed the turbo the shop was able to fabricate everything to fit NA with an adapter.

Maybe raspiness wasn't the correct word. I hear a lot of old Honda Civics with exhausts that just sound loud and obnoxious. I'm looking for something with a deeper growl without being so loud you can hear it a mile away.

It wasn't expensive at the shop I used; they did a lot of other work for me over the years so I have a good relationship with the owner. Can't say what will happen with the shop you use.

Deeper growl, not too loud, I liked my s-type borla axle backs with the stock H-pipe for that, but that is with a V8, with a v6 you have a different tone since it has all the exhaust pulses evenly spaced, the 2013 already comes with a true dual exhaust. probably just a straight though type and don't oversize the exhaust tips. If you stick with axle-back options, that usually keeps it quiet enough for CA, and you' don't need a CARB EO for axle backs... pretty much anything after the rear O2 sensors is fair game.

Yes I hear a lot of annoying "Ricer" cars with an ugly exhaust set up. My Pypes X pipe with GT Mufflers is not raspy sounding. It will not sound like a V8 unless you stick a V8 motor in there. However it does have a nice sound to it and looks and sounds so much better than the original one exhaust. Never understood why Ford did that. They later heard our cry and started making duels on V6s.
