Well I Still went with the Straight pipe and its sounds really good

I Went to my dads muffler Shop and WE Got a 2 1/5 Pipe from the cat all the way to the Back

It Sounds Good but not as loud as the OEM Y pipe, but Decent!!

Then I highly doubt youre not losing any torque.

I dont like the sound of it, but if you like it, then so be it.

not only should you get a tip, you need to rebend the piping so that it tucks in better, i wouldnt wanna show that piping off, it looks like some galvanized steel from home depot.

With whatever money you wasted on that "upgraded" you could've saved up for a name-brand catback exhaust...

theres a magnaflow model that everyone likes on here. I think you should get that or try flowmaster mufflers if you wanna be unique.

I definitly like seeing differn't things that people are doing.Instead of following the same line,same mods,what have you but,
The st8 pipe makes your lux/sport sound way to snappy man on the rev's.How does it sound on the move?
Lets see a drive by vid,then you'll be able to tell if it sounds sick or if it sounds like s#@!.

The tip wont change the sound, unless it was a muffler.

agree. Not trying to bash on you or anything, but straight piping an Acura has no plus sides. You are losing power whether you can notice it or not and your car will not pass smog. You aren't really "modding" it, you are just basically removing a part of your car that was there for helpful purposes. Im not being mean or anything im telling you this for your own benifit.

Only benefit from a st8 pipe would come from a high compression engine,or high boost application.
