If you've ever tried piecing together an exhaust system from different brands, you know how tricky it can get - especially when it comes to that annoying cabin drone. In a recent video, Qiu's Cars tackled this exact problem on his Honda Accord, and the star of the show? Thermal R&D's front pipe-back Honda exhaust system.
Allen admits he had a bit of a Frankenstein setup going on, with front and mid-pipes from another brand. But the drone? Still there. That is, until he swapped in Thermal R&D's exhaust system. The result? Total night-and-day difference. Here’s what stood out from Allen’s experience and review:
- Say Goodbye to Drone: Once he installed the Thermal R&D Accord axle-back exhaust, the drone that used to drive him crazy? Gone. A quiet zone in the cabin at cruising speeds, but still lets loose when you stomp on the throttle. It’s the sweet spot every enthusiast is chasing.
- The Right Sound, The Right Way: The tone is deeper, cleaner, and way more refined. No harsh rasp. No tin-can acoustics. Just smooth, sporty sound that actually matches the Accord’s vibe.
- Fitment That Doesn’t Fight You: Even with his hybrid piping setup, Allen mentioned that fitment was spot on. No cutting, no welding. Bolt-on, tighten up, and done.

After a few days with the Thermal R&D exhaust, Allen reports a massive improvement over his previous Accord exhaust setup. His old Rev9 system was raspy and droned heavily - especially with upgraded downpipe and front pipe.
My main reason for switching over to this thermal exhaust was primarily to kill the drone. This [Thermal R&D] exhaust - in my opinion - is perfect.

Allen calls it his top exhaust pick for modded Honda Accords. Sure - stock, budget systems are okay - but once you upgrade your pipes, Thermal is a must to keep your sound refined and drone-free.
