i was woundering wat kind of exhaust i should get for a 2001 acura cl type s? im lookin for a deep aggressive tone not no fart can lol. i was lookin at the Tanabe Super Medalion Hyper Spec Catback that gonna cost over $700 but iono who has it on there cl's. even the axle back with custom pipes? iono give me some idea's people . . .

duCksterz

also i heard that if u throw after market parts like headers, high flow catalytic conveter and exhaust system u wont pass emissons ?

BigLizard

Not quite true. The CL is an ULEV.

If one of your dummy lights are on, your car will definately not pass emissions.

Upgrading the catback on a CL-S will give you only a 3-5hp gain. If your looking for a good sounding exhaust, Comptech is the way to go. The best sounding exhaust on this car you can get. Quiet but low and aggressive. no droning.

You can pass emissions with all that as long as the high flow cat will not set off the oxygen sensor.

thanks guys but how about the hks axle back ? does it sound nice or just a fart can lol

oh yea just so you after you add headers and intake it will change the sound some. i had headers and intake first when i added the hks exhaust it made the tone of my car deeper. which i love its a nice deep tone not ricey and not too aggressive like a mustang its just right in the middle.

duCksterz

yea right now i got a injen cai and i was lookin at the obx headers. u only got the hks axle back? people told me u need to do the whole cat back to get it to sound nice

Well I have a question. My girl has a 2001 CL-S auto. All of the sites say that the Tanabe is only for 02's and 03's. Will it still work on her car or no? If not then what exhaust will work on her car?

It will work.

cat backs of course sound better then axle backs.
Get XS headers or DC sports headers over OBX headers. XS headers are good buck for the bang but you need to switch out the gasket and bolts. DC headers if you need the CARB number on them.

Is the CL-S LEV then? I just remember the CL-S is more polluting.

duCksterz

so where can i get the XS Headers

BigLizard

Don't quote me on that. I'd do some research to find out.

Yeah its LEV

The CL-P in Cali is ULEV however.

I have some HKS axlebacks waiting on me to put on as well as some stock CLS mufflers, im curious how the HKS mufflers will sound with larger piping and no cat, or at the very least a high flow cat.

One of the vendors is probably going to be making a custom exhaust for the 2nd gen TL (he has alrady done it for the 3rd gen), im sure if someone were to talk to him he could do the small modifications necessary to fit the CL and possibly get a group buy going on that??

so the xs headers just bolts right on and the axle back ?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

yea they both just bolt on.

horsepowercrzy18

Custom 2.5'' piping and magnaflow mufflers sounds awesome which you can get from local exhaust shops for around 300-400 bucks

duCksterz

so if i order the xs headers what bolt size should i buy cuz i heard the bolts that came with it are just crappy? and how many gaskets i should get ?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

you need two gaskets.

duCksterz

should i order the top 1 or the left and right 1 ?

aznboi2424

First one, the exhaust manifold. you will need 2 of those.
You can get them at your local dealer if you wish.

Time For Sleeep

nope.

greddy evo2 is the best sounding exhaust u can get for the CL


it's a bit too extreme looking for me though =/.

duCksterz

u guys been alot of help thanks. yea im about to do hks axle with custom pipes u guys think it be cheaper like that or just get the whole catback like greddy or tanabe?

duCksterz

http://www.oemacuraparts.com/partloc...layCatalogid=0
