not all hemholtz filters are equal, but the one with the thermal works great. I have hemholtz with my Ark-D exhaust on my civic and the drone a lot more pronounced than the Thermal on my Fiesta.
also keep in mind an aftermarket downpipe will change things notably and can increase some drone. I do get a bit more drone after I got a Cobb downpipe w gesi cat, but definitely tolerable.
tbh I found the Thermal a tad too mild without downpipe. Visually it doesn't call out attention as well if thats what you prefer.

I love the sound of my Thermal R&D Exhaust CAT Back system in EVERY GEAR!!! Start up and idle lets people know this isn't just another econobox car! 2nd, 3rd and 4th pull hard and throaty! I've owned the car for 2 weeks and don't even know how to operate the radio!! The Thermal Exhaust is All the awesome sounds I want to hear!!
Check this video out on You Tube: It has the top 5 Best selling A/M exhaust systems with Live Sound clips on our car at start up, idle, under acceleration and even has pricing. It is from Aug 17, 2021 so prices are probably not accurate but relative in todays world.
Great for helping make exhaust sound decisions.
hmmm gauche? Aren’t we being a tad overly dramatic😂 Hmm 3 cylinders 3 pipes I guess . I do not think it looks terrible they did it somewhat tastefully and in case both of you did not have know its setup for more flow at certain engine rpm’s . They did not just slap a three outlet exhaust on the car for the sake of looks the middle one is valved and it opens or closes depending on speed and rpm.
They put a fair amount of thougjht into the design of the car performance wise . Remember it’s pushing 300 hp stock out of a 1.6 3 banger that’s pretty damn impressive Ford did not even pull that off.
So ya hate on it say it looks ugly function over form is the racers rule. 😂
They could have done the flow valving thing with just a single center outlet just as easily.
But yes, to the 'function over form' thing, since I am not all that enamored of the looks of that ride to begin with (or even the front clip of the Yaris version, which I really like otherwise), but yes, hard to argue with the net result of it's (albeit still too large/weighty in my opinion) sum, performance wise.
