Installed GReddy Evo2

I made the jump to a cat-back exhasut on my car this weekend!

Noticed no one has really posted a video of what the GReddy system sounds like on our CL.

Enjoy!

Canisters are way too big IMO...

Not bad though...

Thanks for posting the video for people to check it out.

Oh Yeah those canisters are HUGE!!! I have them jammed up right against the rear subframe and the bottom is level with the mudflaps



At first when I got them in the mail I looked at it was was thinking "shit, these are bigger than those HKS Draggers and those are LOUD"

I was pleasantly surprised to find out the sound very tame though when cruising around and give a nice aggressive "Get outta my way" when passing lol

As an afterthought...should I expect them to get louder/deeper when it gets warmer and I through my CT headers on?

Headers will definitely change the sound of your exhaust.......when I slapped on my headers, my HKS went from subtle to DAYUM at WOT! lol

Yeah, they are huge, including the tips. I actually had my stock mufflers fitted to the Evo B pipe and it sounds much better for my tastes.

^ Wouldn't it just have been cheaper and made more sense to just run a custom exhaust from a local muffler shop...?

Can't they make B pipes for little cost?

That's what people were always telling me when I was going to buy the Comptech B Pipe. (waste to buy name brand)

Basically. It's a pipe and two flanges.

Yeah...so what you are saying is that it's a relatively simple piece to fabricate.

^ Yeah...awaiting additional funds.

I might do the B pipe at a shop and connect up to Comptech Cat-Back.

Everybody keeps telling me to go custom from Comptech Headers to Comptech Axle-Back.

Not sure what to do...second option would be cheaper.

Noah, i dont think you need to do custom B-pipe. your not FI, so not a big difference. and i like to keep a little backpressure to help out with the torque sometimes too.

wait a second, you have a CT cat-back or axle-back?! you mention both...
if you have a CT cat-back, why would you need a csutom b-pipe?! doesnt the cat-back come with mid-pipe, b-pipe, and mufflers?

true but you could increase the pipe diameter a little bit, up to 2.5in, because if you're not FI then the best way to increase HP on a N/A car is through efficiently getting the spent gases outta the engine as quickly as possible

I have neither...I was considering both options.

Cat-Back from what I know doesn't include the B-Pipe.

how is it considered a "cat-back" then if it doesnt include the b-pipe? what do they give you in the kit? a mid-pipe and mufflers?!

i thought all cat-back systems come mid, b and mufflers?!

Hmm...well I am not sure but I thought they sold it separately.

I was trying to find the setup but...this was a Comptech Cat-Back setup for a 3rd Gen TL....

No mention of B-Pipe (which they don't even make anymore)



Adds 8hp at the wheels
T-304 stainless steel cat back exhaust system
Dual polished stainless steel mufflers
Dual 4" polished resonated tips
Center section is 2.5" diameter with a polished stainless steel resonator
Application: 04-07 Acura TL

Yep, but I had the Greddy on there for 2-3 years until I decided it was too much for me. The way it's made now too is that I can switch out the mufflers at anytime.

evo2 tips are quite huge, but still cool imo...but not as big as hks draggers or something similar...
