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!

Very aggressive!
Good job man.

 

Evo2's sound soooo good, i just can't get over how big the canisters are. if you can get away with the tuner look go for it

 

very nice

 

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?

 

The tone should change...

 

i have always loved those.

 

Wow those cans are extremely huge for the CL

 

they sound so good though, i got a set on my whip

 

congrats man, glad you went with the catback

 

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

 

nice! i like 'em..i was lookin' at those but couldnt afford 'em...lurked on the bm & picked up a different cat-back system...

 

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.

 

^^^^ i know a place that can do your custom exhaust hey-suse...

 

^ 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.

 

Yeah...a lot of people said I didn't need it which is why I didn't buy it before when I had the chance.

 

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.

 

Oh ok...gotcha.

 

how did you find the GReddy system "too much"? I can barely tell its on unless Im at WOT....

 

that looks exactly stock except for shiny mufflers...

they even have the mid-muffler still in there for some reason...

 

That's straight from CT-Engineering's website...

 

I think I'm just getting old. One day I just realized, I wanted it quieter.

 

"old"? but you're only 29...

 

^ thats the same age the guy i got my greddys from was. he drove an 01 av6. told me that he felt it was too loud and just wanted something that looked nice.
i do agree that the tips are huge on the evo2

 

I really dont see how they're too loud...they're just a bit deeper than stock

 

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

 

im not gona lie i felt like somewhat of a ricer for a few days. the tips are just as big as my pops gto tips. they do look nice but i need to get them fixed. they sway while im driving and i need to raise them up some

 

^ i know, a nice rear lip kip would help hide the cans/tips nicely

but its not really a "ricey tone", just the look im guessing your were getting at?

 

nice cant wait to get mines installed
