Anybody know anything about or have/had this system? I really like how it looks and it's HKS so I don't doubt the quality of it but sound is what concerns me primarily. Haven't been able to find a video of it at all on a CL-S and I'm very curious as to what it sounds like. Also, anybody have any idea where I can get it? The only site I've seen carry it is AutoCarParts ( http://www.autocarparts.com/part/1296/2/ ) and I would prefer to not rock a craigslist exhaust lol.

I thought that was discontinued for the CL? Call before you buy to make sure they have it.

i had them on for several months. the droning in 5th gear was fairly loud and the stereo couldn't drown it out so i sold them to another member. on the plus side there was a noticeable hp gain so that was cool.

I have them on now and they aren't too bad. I've gotten used to the added sound coming from comptech exhaust but I wanted something more aggressive and I got it. It's louder but the tone is nearly the same, very deep. But I don't need to turn up the radio or anything. Just make sure to run it with your stock mid-muffler in place. They don't drone on the freeway for me too much.

I would recommend them if your looking for a step up from comptech sound.

CLassy02

Lol, I already got rid of that silly mid-muffler. Any chance you could grab a sound clip for me?

I was about to post that Gary aznboi2424 has them but he beat me to it BTW I think u should put the comptechs back on Gary

ParaSurfer1979

goodn system. I had them on my CL-S6.

aznboi2424

I'll see what I can do. Anything specific? If I do get one, its going to be with my cell phone so I'm not sure how good the sound is going to be.

Why?

this is a really old vid but you can kind of hear the exhaust in the vid. the supercharger kind of drowns them out and i wasnt really getting on it because i wasnt tuned at the time. i have hks superdragers. i love them.

I really like the second drive-by! lol It sounds great, really like the tone imo!

CLassy02

Thanks, preferably a startup and a nice rev I guess? He wasn't kidding about the supercharger drowning out the exhaust lol.

do both give the same power or is one more beneficial?

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

but they are not made anymore tho correct?

so we can't get them from an hks dlr anymore right?

cause my local performance shop sells hks but not ct... damnitttttt.. WHYYYY

ParaSurfer1979

Neither will yield any more than 5-6hp. You could also do Apex-i WS2 mufflers and have them welded to stock exhaust. The WS2 cans look very similar to Super Dragger cans.

will be near $500/pr. or do the Copies Megan racing makes $115 a piece.

Just a little food for thought. You come out with same power for a 3rd the price while also getting the same sound.

i want direct bolt on and a tone I won't hit myself in the head for.. so i think CT is the only way. since I don't like a loud car.

i shall order them today.

then i'll have 235 whp woo hoo..

i definitely will gain 5-6 since i have every bolt on accept exhuast...

and my cousin has the brand new 2011 mustang v6 auto.. SO that will be a close ass race.. along with my other boy in his SS cobalt with intake (who i've beaten already) but he's getting more mods. and my other boys 2001 mustang bullitt with intake is JUSt a hair faster than me too..

so it's gonna be some good times.


plenty of filming is going down this summer

735 plus tax is the best price I can find!!!!! hollly shit

that makes me question if it's even worth it!


what do u guys think?

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

HOLD on..

HKS has the accord v6 listed still... but that is not the same as our car correct?

cause the part number that is in that website you posted in post #15 is listed on HKS's website for the accord not the cl...

and I cannot find a cl application anywhere so can someone please let me know.

I'd buy the hks if it's available cause it's local and cheaper.

i have comptech axlebacks and they do sound great, but they are overpriced. You can get similar tones with the other brands mentioned and they probably give the exact same gains. You can have a shop weld them on and keep your flanges if need be. That way you can always unbolt them if you need to.

iTrader: (2)

what did u end up paying for them gnutz?

would you drop 825 on them?

or just go on a vacation instead.

pussy or exhaust... one is better, the other lasts a hell of a lot longer.

lol help me out here guyz.

vacation or exhuast

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

I bought another CL-S6 that already had them on it. Selling my other CL6.

I definitely wouldn't pay that much for axlebacks. I would keep your eye on the blackmarket and go on vacation in the mean time. Just watch out for VD....that can last long too! lol.

ahahahaha..... loll

damnit tho i just cannot find exhaust. it's been 2 years and I haven't gotten it yet.... that's brutal. the missing link to my bolt-on... once i get those mufflers the show is done... aside from PnP

Magnaflow mufflers, have them welded, sound the best. I used to have HKS and they were great, but a little less mature.

aznboi2424

iTrader: (10)

Sorry I havent been able to get to it. I need a second person to hold the camera lol
I'll try to get one to you within a couple of days. The exhaust is going to sound different after its warmed up or after its cooled down.

iTrader: (3)

yea i feel like that sometimes. just a tad bit smaller.

ParaSurfer1979

Magnaflow has nice mufflers but damn they are high dollar.

iTrader: (9)

They're $110 a piece.

That's exactly the magnaflows id do on the CL or my TL. Good find bro.

CLassy02

Yeah I'm still trying to decide between Magnaflows and the HKS. I love the price and sound of the Magnaflows (14814) but the HKS look amazing IMO but the cost is killer for an axle-back. I'm not really too worried about making the CLS fast, so HP gains aren't really my main concern here. It's all about the sound she makes. I'd much rather have a car that looks and sounds great than a fast one. Plus FWD FTL lol. And whenever you can get a video made is fine, no rush here just make sure it's not a cold start, makes a huge difference and I think we all know that.

iTrader: (1)

Damn those are expensive, I bought my magnaflows for my old exhaust setup for 75 a pop. Crazy but I went through the exhaust shop as opposed to buying them myself.

ghttf

its a catback but i like the atlp. sounds like butterhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5WDLuenzNA

CLassy02

I like how that sounds but damn I'm not one to throw a grand for exhaust lol.

iTrader: (5)

Yeah because you drive like an old lady!

I remember when you were on your whole 55 mph campaign!

aznboi2424

iTrader: (10)

No....

I said 60 not 55. 55 is too slow, with 60 you can draft the rigs


There is more drone as the RPMs move higher but its still very tolerable.

Gary go do work grandma

LOL

I like magnaflows

CLassy02

Yeah I'm on the fence here, I'd really like to have a good clip of the HKS though since I've never heard a nice clip of it.

ParaSurfer1979

YouTube is your friend for this stuff if you just search as i did.
