The original exhaust was designed for a balance of performance and daily usability. Because of this, many owners opt for aftermarket upgrades from brands like Taitec or Pride Exhaust to achieve a more "F1-like" high pitch or a more aggressive, raspy tone.
The car's sound and high-revving nature were heavily influenced by Honda's Formula One expertise and development input from Ayrton Senna , resulting in an engine that behaves more like a race-bred unit than a standard V6.
