If I buy a TL Comptech exhaust for my CL, will there be any difference? If so, what and can it be modified easily?

spiro- If I remember they are the exact same exhaust......... I could be wrong?

Quick Silver

They are ALMOST the same exhaust. I bought a used TL comptech exhaust from a buddy. The only difference between the two is that the one made for the TL is a little bit longer.......what i mean by this is that the tips don't completely hide behind the bumper. Instead, they come out a little bit past the bumper. Personally I really like the way it looks because with those tips sticking out, it makes the care look more aggressive!

Hope that helped!

thats the exact answer i was looking for.

thanks.

actually its the exact same thing, the reason why quick silver noticed this is because the TL has a longer bottom rear bumper.

in fact same part number for accord, cl and tl for springs, sways, headers and exhuast from comptech

WRONG!!!

The Accord/TL/CL-S have DIFFERENT part number! They are essentially the same mufflers, but the hangers are a little different.

I bought used CL-S CT mufflers and the box only said CL-S, no TL-S or AV6...i called CT and asked them, they said yeah, same mufflers, but hangers are in different location maybe 1/4 - 1/2 inch difference.

You can't tell the difference...if you put them on, you would think you bought the right ones.

hmm may be they changed it cause I got all my stuff like over a year ago and it said tl/cl/acccord for all the parts.

i guess u learn something everyday

Ok, They did change it. At first they were using the same part#, and then they changed it to better fit the CL-S. Which makes sense since my mugen exhaust was about 2" longer then stock(maybe more)

Im trying to go the other from CLs to a TLs. whats the approx difference in length? is it gonna look stupid? and can a stock tl exhaust go onto a CLs?
thanks

wow nice dig.

i think it will look a bit shorter than what you want it to be...

JMAL

yeah i know, i had to dust it off. i have this great opportunity to swap my stock one for a CT off of a cls for free. i want to make it work, in a reasonable way tho. i would love to see a picture im sure some one has done this.

Won't look right and the TL mufflers are different than the CL. Different lengths/different tips.

Old thread I know, but would like to know the answer to the above question. Is it a direct fit, and will the tips stick out past the bumper? If they do stick out, would modifying the hangers correct that pretty easily?

JMAL

they need to be shortened. they do stick out. hangers wont fix it, the piping is just too long from the cat back. a custom shop could handle it tho. good luck

like the above poster said, i don't think modifying the hangers is the correct procedure. the piping is longer and the tips are longer. a shop can replace the piping quite easily so the tips accomodate your bumper. shouldn't cost more than $100-150.

How are you going to modify them? You can't move them back at all because the B-Pipe is still the same length.

The easiest thing to do is purchase the correct axle-back exhaust in the first place. The TL exhaust really looks odd and out of place on the CL.
