stock exhaust sounds bad
...before it warms up..
it sounds raspy and civic rice-can-like when i turn the car on and drive within 5 or so minutes.. it almost sounds embarrassing to drive out of a parking structure. once the engine warms up, it goes back to sounding sweet again. any of you have this problem?

Probably everyone is talking about the exact same thing. I think that some of us just feel as if it sounds bad and some think it's great, just like the widely differing opinions of what's rice and what's not. I think it's safe to say it's not intended to sound like that or else it wouldn't change to a more "normal" sound after it warms up a little.

I've noticed that sound as well. I was showing off my G37 to a friend who has an 07 G35 and he asked about the exhaust sound. I started it up and it had that raspy sound for about 30 seconds or so. I wonder if it will go away with time?
