i went to the muffler shop today for an estimate on a new exhaust. price around 300 for 2 1/2" piping with a 22" resonater and magnaflow exhaust. im excited onlything i cant decide on is what tip should i get... double or single... 1 week till i get enough money for it tho..

 

Get double

 

if you're a 3.0

 

yeah, double tipped.

Congrats, now read the 2 nice big orange banners at the top of the threads.....

 

New exhaust is always a good first mod to do, but you could also get a catback kit from a 94-97 Accord 2-Door and save yourself a bit of money over going to a shop (You could also end up spending more though, but that depends on the brand really.) My first mods were an intake and a 1.5" drop - Took me three days to drop the car since I ended up breaking a bolt off on the back right and had to cut it out, press out the old bushing with part of a bolt stuck in it, and then press in a new bushing to carry on with the install. Gotta love doing your own work ... :p

 

I wanna drop my car, but its sooooooooo expensive to do it right .. compared to other mods

 

If you do the work yourself, lowering isn't really that bad. I'm looking to spend about $600 when I redo mine in a couple of months. I'm gonna go with KYB AGX struts, Neuspeed springs, and new Prothane bushings. Most of the parts can be found on eBay for fairly cheap.

 

I dropped over a G into my suspension, but boy am I glad I did. No uneven wear, and bitchin' handling compared to stock.

AS for exhaust, I got a single tip. I was thinking about a double tip for a long time, but for some reason I decided shortly before getting the exhaust to get single tip.




don't mind the lexus liscense plate holder, I finally got off my lazy ass and removed it.

 

yeah, but my car already has 130k miles on it... and the tein ss coils i would want cost a grand i hear. im probably just gonna slap intake and be done. im trying to save up for a brand new car cuz this one's tranny will die soon.. (3.0)

 

yup! get a new car cuhz our cars although sick as hell will be outdated compared to the new cars coming out. but i still love our 1st gen CL's

 

If you want a new car then go for it, redoing the suspension is huge and it's been the biggest project on my car so far, due to the age and condition I had to replace every part of the suspension so I feel ya, I also believe in doing it right and replacing everything. I'm savin up for the tein SS's too. Bushings are huge when redoing your suspension, but if you're lookin for a new car get something newer with a less abused suspension

 

yeah im not getting a new car for a couple of years tho. so thats why i wanna add a little umph in my CL so i can enjoy driving it for the time i have it. im hoping they come out with a new cl.. but im thinking its hopless with things ive read.

 

The RSX was the coupe that replaced the CL, but if I remember correctly, they've stopped making the RSX's. I'd love to have one of the new TL-S's with the six-speed, but I can't afford a new car right now with medical school coming up in a year (A new Acura will be one of my first purchases when I graduate though.)

 

not anytime soon, you'll get used to it

 

i always figured the rsx to be closer to the integra rather than the cl

 

rofl rsx is the integra, its still the integra in japan.
plus there was a 03 rsx and 03 cl.
dc2=older body style integra
dc5=rsx/ jdm integra

 

i use a JDM BuddyClub muffler.

Single tip. Check the Photo Gallery to see how it looks.

Its the "can" style, I like how it looks, less cumbersome than dual tips.

It might be louder too, but I have nothing to compare it to, so I dont know.

I'd get some headers while your at it.

 

yeah i know exhaust with no headers.. but 500 bucks might take me a while to get

 

Took the car in this morning. put on the 22" resonator 2/12" and magnamuff it sounds pretty awsome. I got a single tip cuz he was gonna charge me $85 for the double tip??? so i had him put a used single tip on for free. still sounds sick tho and im a wittttle faster. up next is intake..
