Leave it! Don't touch - no angles!

It's already angled, did you READ the thread?

arstraub

"but for some reason, the way i held it when the guys were putting it on ended up at less of an angle. so i think i might have them put another bend in the piping or something to achieve that look"


Ehem, I meant not to angle it anymore than it is...sorry for the confusion

CL's are luxury cars not a race car..

lnsyone

the CL is a CL.

you can make it whatever the fuck you want it to be.

same goes with any other car.

arstraub

Alright, so why don't you just go take a shot of vodka and chill out a little hun; no need for hostility here

well thats sometimes how it goes when you try to be orginal. but keep on trying and you'll get it right.

over the winter ill most likely be selling my Greddy SP2 and go for something a little bit louder. im gonna try and do 2.5" mandrel stainless steel piping back, no cat, into a HKS Hi-Power muffler. the Greddy is way to quiet for me, all i hear is intake.

lnsyone

no hostility. im just saying.

my friend with the white h22 cl (the one with the red rotas) has a smaller diameter jic bullet muffler thats angled up and to the right (when looking at it dead on), and it looks nice. i dont think i have pics layin around on my comp.

lnsyone

The HKS carbon-ti muffler on his 3.0 and that fucker is pretty loud.

idk the carbon-ti on my car might look ricey. but i love your buddies CL with the Red Rota's. i want those so bad, but my red calipers will throw everything off.

lnsyone

i think the hi-power would be loud as well!

732xghost

well thats what im looking for. i figure 2.5" piping will work. but will def make things louder.

i agree with you. the CL is whatever you make it. but i wanna see those pics! i went back to a different shop today, and they took a look at the hack job the other place gave me. they said they'd redo it all for me, but it would be smart to lower it first to see how much clearence i have. so i'm buying omnis again hopefully i should place my order this friday

ninetysevencl

how much you want for it?

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

$500 and we can meet somewhere to pick it up. but ill have to save up a little more to get the setup i want. so hang on a little bit more if your seriously interested. the exhaust is only a few months old.

sixfifty

put the CL up on the driveway today, to clean all the rest of the paint off the muffler. and i was looking at it from a certain angle in the garage. for some reason, it only looks like it from this one angle. lol. but this is how i want it to look all the time... maybe a little more tilted up.. not sure... what do you think?

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

i think you would appreciate it more with a slam.

agranado

now that I look at it, you probably need to lower it more to get the look you want... aka what mr. blackack and mr. 97xghost have just stated

zguy95135

How does it sound btw?

lnsyone

maybe angle it to the right a lil bit more and aim the canister higher.

arstraub

If you're gonna do it at all, which I vote against by the way, then do it all the way - no half-crap pansy stuff

subbuzz

slam the car and get the exhaust at more of an up angle ftw.looks good though,just not angled enough,def get props for trying.........

SanJoseRoller

im more of a fan of the regular mounted greddy SP muffler / Apexi WS I or II

the magnaflows are nice to ... imho these bigger canister exhaust's seem like they dont fit the CL body to well thats just my

but like some have said if thats your thing get it done right. its a bit off needs a little bit more to the right and a little higher

sixfifty

its actually really nice. not too loud at all, just nice and deep. nice little rumble. but that'll change a little bit once i get my hi flow cat

yeah, i'm gonna wait till i lower the car to do anything else to the exhaust, that way i'll know just how much clearence i have to play with. definitely glad i stripped all that paint off... gives it a much cleaner look, damn this thing is shiny.

SwervinCL

I only like the tilted can on some cars, the CL not being one of them. But if your gonna do it, it needs to be tilted up more as well to achieve the look you are going for.

Grn97cl

i want to do the same for my 3.0 but im not sure how to do it i want it to look just like a eg hatch muffler like the way it points into the air and like a 35degree angle but i dont know what kind of muffler to get i dont want a rick sound from my 3.0 the intake makes it sound like it has balls i still want that deep sound.

732xghost

i agree. angled and tilted up looks very sexy.

BigLizard

I'm not a huge fan of the angled exhaust, but whatever floats your boat.

P.S. Old thread

sixfifty

lol yeah really... jeez, that just made me miss my car more

well, the angle looks ALOT better now that the car is sitting a few inches off the ground, i was waiting to lower it to see how much room i had to work with before angling it up a little more.

guess i'll have to wait for it to come back first tho..

Shoshinsha_KiDs_CL

well in my opinion good job on trying.. i myself have mastered this art of the angled exhaust. no pics up sorry too busy with the NAVY bullshit i get =) what you need to do is tilt more to right and angle up but not too much otherwise it'll look wack. ill try and get some pics up.. i got let's see.. 2.25 or 2.5 full piping. with i dont know what kind of exhaust my bro put it on. sounded clean.. not too loud or ricey the deep tone.. thats maybe why i never chaged it haha. and def lower your car (again?) it'll look way better. i got mad props already by it. mostly evos and suubs give the thumbs up to me. everyone else is just pissed off i did it first!

sixfifty

this thread is a couple months old so i might have beat you to it

but the car is lowered now on Tein HAs, and the reason its not up how you described is the guys at the exhaust shop fucked up. i put it at the angle i wanted and they totally fucked up. my cars in the body shop right now, when it gets out i'm reangling.

it's an a'pexi can, sounds nice and deep, not ricey at all.

maybe you did it first, who knows, probably just you and me tho, not many CL guys like the look. lets see some pics tho

Shoshinsha_KiDs_CL

yeah i will def see what i can do..ill bug my cousin for his camera.. but maybe when they were welding the didnt put enough angle.. on mine it was like a damn round turn haha. its def its great to see im not the only one who's a fan of this exaust!!
