which exhaust should i get....comptech or tanabe? i have a comptech sway.. will the tanabe hit the sway bar? thanks

 

i'd say comptech just because its comptech
but i dunno if the tanabe exhaust will hit ur sway bar.

 

comptech is just nicer

 

i'd get Greddy Evo2 ^^

 

I love my comptech. Its been on the car for about 2 yrs now.

 

From what I understand, the Comptech RSB limits you to the Comptech catback to avoid fitment issues.

 

Weapon R FTW!

 

J's Racing Exhaust is the shizzzzzzzznit...

 

 

hehe i forgot to red text.

 

i have the greddy evo2 with comptech sway ... DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU FEEL LIKE DEALING WITH RUBBING ISSUES. i say go with the comptech exhaust since it's quality is second to none

 

oh wasn't aware of that.
can you explain more about the "rubbing" issue
u mean the car lowered with aftermarket suspension + no ground clearance evo rubbing against the ground?

 

If you have the Comptech RSB go with the comptech exhaust..

 

Comptech RSB will hit Tanabe exhaust. Not enough clearance. I had Comptech RSB and Tanabe MT. It rattles like crazy because exhaust pipe vibrates on sway bar. So I got new Progress RSB. You'll need Comptech catback unless if you wanna switch out existing rsb.

But I prefer Tanabe MT because I have them haha. Plus it comes with metal stamp saying "Made In Japan."

 

does anybody know of a site where i can get a sound clip of the Comptech catback on the tsx? i never heard it before and im thinking of purchasing it

 

from what i understand, and was said above, if you have the comptech rsb then you gotta get the comptech exhaust otherwise you'll have rubbing issues

did someone say j's racing?

 

nices j's chirs lol... finally heard it in person last week when i was in LA. quiet idle but sweet drive by! im considering it also!


I have the tanabe smh on for a little while now and it does have clearing issues with the comptech rsb. in idle its not o bad when when u start going it rubs a bit making the weirdst noise. but it went away so its all good for me. the tanabe exhaust sounds beautiful by the way!!!

 

OEM exhaust

 

chris i love your exhaust. hoping to get mine sometime soon...do you have a soundclip or anything? i've never had a chance to hear what it sounds like. i know the clip wont sound even close to what it really sounds like but it'll give me an idea.

 

the greddy evo2 piping is quite large, as is the diameter of the comptech rsb. sooo, i had to shave the flanges off both exhaust mufflers to get rid of the constant, LOUD, clinging/banging sound that the two made when they hit/rubbed against each other

 

yep! that's what i really love about this exhaust, at idle and partial throttle it's actually very quiet but when you're driving agressively it has an amazing sound. Very crisp, deep and non-farty. Tanabe is good quality stuff too bet it sounds great.

I did have a sound clip but deleted quite a while ago now. It probably wouldn't give you an accurate idea of the sound anymore either as a slightly revised design is now for sale by J's. It's meant to be slightly more agressive again with a shorter length resonator and muffler with slightly louder volume and an increase in flow. its also 30,000yen more expensive.

If i can come across the clip I'll let you know though

 

I guess we've all see that the stock exhaust is actually really good. You just happened to save >$800 than the rest of us.

 

POWER HOUSE AMUSE

 

Anyone know where I can hear the J's racing exhaust?

 

come on.. your not that old yet..
older people always say "something wrong with your stock parts??" haha..

 

Nobody recommended the Fujitsubo or the DC Sports exhaust. Anyone have either of these on their car?

 

Haha...I was kidding around. I'm actually tempted to get an exhaust. I like to cruise at like 85-90 mph on my commute though, and since the RPMs are kinda high it might get a little too loud. I'm not sure if I can handle 1 1/2 hours of it everyday.

It's actually more of my mortgage payment telling me not to get it... Although if a good deal comes up in the black market you never know!

...So don't worry Minkl81, I still very much believe in aftermarket parts. (Maybe a little too much )

 

OMG that's the 5zigen Pro Racer exhaust...

you have much to learn from your master young padawan (pages cccoltsicehockey to come mock his apprentice) lol

 

 

oooooo sounds beefy!
i am now convinced, thanks!

 

Sell me your tanabe MT at a very cheap price
