Yeah, I searched without satisfactory results.

I need to get exhasut, i can barely hear my RPMS to shift. ANd the radio is never on, its bad enougn as it is.

I know I used to have HKS Super Dragers on my car and liked them.

I heard Magnaflow cistom cans, but I am not too crazy about the sound.

Comptechs are not to my liking either.

I heard Tanabe sounds really nice and mature, but havn't seen or heard them on anybodies cars.

I also was wondering about Borla, or Flowmaster, or even some other domestic type of Exhasut companies.

What other exhasut are there? I'm open to universal mufflers if i can hear them first, but i think I would liek anaxle back better.

We seriosuly need a thread that has a compliation of all the existing sound clips...


Finally, do these fit from an accord?

u gotta be deaf man....lol I can hear my engine roar to life qite easily....lol and I have a 2K2 automatic.......

 

what CleanCL has, sounds pretty damn good..

 

I'm talking about 1500-3000 rpm, not vtec raange. I want to be able to feel the right time to let the clutch up. I can hear it now, but I have to listend hard for it and turn off the radio and close the windows. Sucks.

Links to a sound clip? Does he have reg mods or a 3.5 engine?

 

I can still hear my car's engine. it does not get quiet until I am at a steady cruizing speed. just take the intake resonator out and problem solved.

 

I like the magna flow..

 

If im not mistaken, he already has an Icebox and Comptech headers.

 

thats weird cause i can hear my exhaust the best from that RPM range. it has a nice tone there.

Clean has a 3.5 so it would prob be alot different. not to mention he is running huge piping.

 

Greddy let's me know exactly when to shift, even though I only have SS.

 

the exhaust note hardly changed w/ OEM mufflers from the 3.2 to 3.5

my borla's are nasty, just do 2.25" piping and you will be golden, i love the sound of the borlas, its very deep down low, and in the high rpms it sounds just right.

2.5" isnt for the light hearted, it's obnoxious in a good way. go 2.25" catback w/ some 2.25 borlas and you will love it, dont forget to add a resonator in there.

i have a couple sound clips but their like 2MB, PM me if you want them or if someone can host them, their actually videos. also keep in mind my exhaust is pretty open, the clips were taken with a large hi-flow cat. with a stock cat it will be much more subtle.

 

We all wanna hear!

 

5{\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0nt, and I am looking for an axle back only. I want everything bolt on and bolt off just in case. I am going to remove the resonator to help a little becasue with the icebox, its hardly audible. Headers only make a slight difference.
I have an awesome clip of the HKS I used to have, which might be a last resort, but where can I host a large file like that? Youtube?

 

uploaded my old exhaust, but it might need a few minutes to clear it says...

HKS Axle Back exhasut, AEM CAI, OBX Crap headers all on a 2001 Acura CL Type S.

I'll upload CleanCL's exhaust too when I get his emails, fine with you?

 

eshift did a good job, it was hard to find someone locally who does stainless steel and mandrel bends. eshift did both and made my borlas and custom y-pipe flanged for easy bolt-off.

 

I wouldn't waste any money on one ! because it isn't going to make much of a difference anyway!.....record a LOUD reving car and play it when you mash on the gas!

 

i haven't heard cleancl's set up (mind posting a vid or a clip? )


but i must say... the best sound that i have heard from our car has been the greddy evo. hands down.

 

i love how youtube destroys quality of videos, anyway, turn up the volume...

kinda half assing it to 70:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny419VRL960

just some light crusing with low and mid rpms so you can hear the exhaust:

i'll get some out of car videos soon, im just lazy

 

CleanCL, its very difficult to hear anything. But from what it sounds like, I think its pretty similar to my setup posted before. I think Ima go with the HKS, its less expensive and bolts right on. Maybe I'll get some custom tips.

 

Seriously, just do custom work instead of buying a name brand.

 

Custom work cannot make that much of a difference from name brand if things are machined correctly. Ron, what are you talking about headers only give a small gain? Lol, header gain = exhaust gain x 3. Unless you are talking about gain in audibility...

 

If you are getting exhaust to help you with shifting then you seriously need to just PRACTICE driving There should be no need to hear the car to shift. For one thing you have a tach and another you should just be able to feel when its the right time. My last car had no tach and a 2000 watt stereo, so you learn to drive by feel. Relying on the sound of the car, or steadily watching the tach are bad habits

 

If you don't like the Comptechs, get the Borlas.

 

ill try to get some better clips today.

 

Please do because in person your exhaust tone is sweeeeeeet

 

EVO2 ftw

 

I second that and the entire catback is a direct bolt on so it's not that big of a hassle. Good luck with the search...EVO2FTW!!!

 

this place has a good deal for the evo2 http://www.gripmotorsports.com/ps~pn...-MODEL_CL.html i had trouble finding axle-backs. I had the SP on my old honda and the tone was great.

 

Yeah, I was talking about the gain in sound...

What are you talking about? I need to hear the car to shift so I don't have to look at the tach. I want to keep my eyes on the road while i drive. Its exactyl the opposite, a skilled driver just needs to hear the engine to shift, tach becomes needless. Yeah, when I'm at speed, its easier, but i'm talking about standing start when I was used to a louder exhasut note in my previous CL. I'm not bragging, but I've gotten this manual transmission down fine, I can start off at 1500 rpms from astand still, you cannot feel my shifts anymore than an auto, seamless transions between gears. But i notice when I have the radio on or the air condition, windows open or people talking in my car, I cannot get a really good idea of the bare minimum rpms needed to shift from a standing start. I don't feel like looking at the tach every time.



ALso, what is the benefit of the Cat back, I heard that our cars don't get gains, even the Comptech admits it that there are no real gains from it. I'm only doing it for looks and sound. Tell me this doesn't sound sweet, its the HKS I used to have on my old CL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usJ9M3C5Qhs

 

if you hear the greddy in person. you'll understand

I had an apex'i catback on my car and it sounded pretty similar to the HKS's.

Heard Shinyblue's car and absolutely became obssessed w/ the note on it. lol.

 

I have the bolt-on NEUSPEED but i think it is discontinued

 

Is greddy cat back or axle back? any pics, cost?

 

It's a catback. If you need one you can PM me.

 

Which model of HKS axle back exhaust you have, because I really like the sound of your exhaust.

 

just hit up shiny blue's pictures. He had the cat-back. Also, I thought the black CL used in the ronjon adds in the top right (with the devotions) has the greddy also?

^ Grapefruit shooters!!!

 

J/K, they look pretty sweet. I don't know why, I just love the stock oval exhaust tips. JMO

 

BTW, where was that shoot taken? That background is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

 

The back end looks freakin' awesome though

 

Crater Lake National park.

I'm assuming he'll be installing the RonJon kit on his car, therefore he needs the larger tips ftw.
