They look freakin awesome on your car. I wish I would have gotten those. At the time I wanted to keep the stock look, so I got 11214s with stock tips.

Yea, the plates were meant to be funny. I love when I park at work and people walk by and their face is like W..T...F?

But yea, don't know about the horsepower gain. I guess to little for me to feel it

Hopefully when I get some headers, intake and pulleys, I'll be able to tell the difference.

If anyone can give me the link to the thread with someone talking about options pulleys that would be great. Been searching around and can't find them on ebay or whatever.

Yea I actually picked it up from one our members on here that never installed it so thanks buddy

When I opened up the box, I was like wow, those tips are friggin huge haha. Like I said, doesn't sound as loud as a lot of people say. Really nice low growl. Kinda like stock but more aggresive? Don't know how to explain it but its nice heh

Trust me, they will get louder with time. Check back in a week or two.

type-s exhaust is already pretty free flowing so the gains would only be a few hp. too minimal to feel, members just do it for the sound.

Looks good and like everyone else that plate frame is hilarious!, Headers and pullys you will feel a HUGE GAIN... I went with aem underdrive and comptech heads, the headers were the most noticable gain for me.

about 13HP per muffler, plus they are way lighter than OEM, so you get more HP and lose weight.

I'd definitely feel if it was a 24hp gain. But yea more realistically like what swoleCL said. I'm just running it on stock pipes also

I have a set of Magnaflows sitting in my livingroom for about 2 weeks now. Is taking out the resinator make that much difference in sound?

Maybe if you did the whole exhaust including the headers.

I hope they get louder cause mine dont have kind of noise at all. these are like more quieter than the factory ones.
Mine look too small for my car so i might get some bigger ones.

we should have an exhaust gallery.

Which ones did you get? The guy at my shop told me that they come in 14, 16, and 18 inch..the longer being quieter obviously. At first he installed 16" and said there was almost no difference in sound. The 14" sounds great.

And I agree an exhaust gallery would be nice cause the forums are crowded with exhaust posts.

Not to my taste. The stock tips look better. This is a luxury coupe not a riced out civic.

When I first installed my mufflers with the stock piping it wasnt that loud at all. Ended up cutting out the stock resonator and putting in a Magnaflow one. Sounds a lot better.

Mine have defenitly gotten deeper in tone. Give it a week or 2 and they will sound a lot better. They have a nice growl to them now.
