Has anyone heard of these . Apparenty Comptech makes quiet tip inserts for their exhaust systems , anyone heard them or seen them . Any pics installed or info if they actually work would be great .

 

yes

they work great. definetely reduce the noise by half but was a little bit of a bitch to install. dont recommend installing unless you have the right tools

a chisel type of tool (cant remember what its called)
and a powerfull drill

I second sidemarker's assessment. If the drone is killing you, get'em and don't look back.

 

oh yeah the tool is called a center punch!

sidemarker

 

what does a center punch do?

i have a 120v drill, that shit be plenty, no?

 

a center punch is a like a small chisel but it is pointy

its used to put a dimple into whatever you are trying to drill through(usually metal) so you dont walk the bit!

O.K guys , I'm an Acura tech so I know what you guys are talking about , I'm not to concerned about the installation . What I want to know is how they look installed . Any pics?

 

i suggest you put in the quiet tip make sure it has a snug fit then mark it. take out the inserts and get your center punch hammer it in real good to get a good size indention and drill away. put the insert back in and screw them in.

sounds simple but drilling through metal especially in an ackward angle from under the car is tough...

mine are painted black

but you can still see them only if you are about 5 feel away. but you dont notice them that much

the droning noise was killing me and i dont care how much hp i lose or how bad it might look its well worth it!!!

I painted my quiet tip inserts with high temp black paint, so they don't look bad at all.

 

The quiet tips DO NOT reduce the noise by half, it reduces the noise to STOCK.

Installation should be ok....pop in the inserts, they will pop securly, and mark the hole, use a DRILL to drill out the hole, and ur done.

I'll upload pics when i get home.

" I have this half picture off one of my old post at A-TL.com"

Looks kinda dirty though,

i have to disagree with the noise

stock HAS NO SOUND, so if you have the radio off the car is quiet as hell!

the quiet tips reduce the noise by half because at normal driving speed you can still here the drone even with the radio on

Image station is down right now so if u can post some pics , that'll be great . Do you really lose hp , or notice a difference at all?

 

as far as performance goes you wont be able to notice anything at all

sidemarker

 

Word , all I need is some pics now and I might be sold . If I were to change the tips on the comptech mufflers , do you think they would work?

 

no they not work

the comptech quiet tips were meant to fit in the tip of the comptech exhaust.

I don't know about u sidemarker, but when i have the radio off, i don't hear anything. It just sound like when i had the stock exhuast on, nothing.

here are some images for u...

 

Yup, my car sounds completely stock with them on. The only thing I hear is my CAI.
