03 SSM CL~~New Magnaflows and debadging

Well I took the plunge and bought the Magnaflow 14832's. Got them installed today. Took a good half hour of driving before the sound went from a little more then stock sounding to a nice aggressive sound. Love the looks and sound combined.

I also debadged the 3.2 CL Type-S badge. Looks cleaner IMO. Check sig for more pics of my car @ cardomain.

IMO, our trunks are a little bulky to have nothing or just the "A" there. I felt that leaving the A C U R A will fill the gap. Thanks though.

I totally agree. I love the clean shaved look, BUT, our backs are bulky and the lettering helps make it looks nice and not so big.

Ya dude, I dont know if this happened for you, but when I left the exhaust place, I was like, "ok cool its a little sound, but nothing major over stock." I almost questioned why I paid 350 for something that sounded stock.

Then about a 1/2-hr of driving I came home and it was like a light switch going on and off. The tone got louder and more agressive. I fell in love. My buddy who was with me the whole time, was like, "damn, what a difference in a matter of 1 hour of driving". I wonder if it gets better and better. lol

With my headers, icebox, and now this, my car @ WOT sounds awesome and definately a head turner. I had my buddy drive it down the street and loved the way it sounded.

Same thing for me, exhaust guy was like it is not too much louder. When the car heated up and the exhaust heated up, it got louder and throatier. Also, it pops and burbles pretty nicely for a v6.

I have been contemplating forever and just decided to say "fuggit" and go do it. Once something is on my mind that I want to do, it wont go away until I do it. lol Thanks for the kind words from everyone.

The outside is blue, but they are PIAA extreme white. Trust me, I am far from having that ricey taste, but I dont mind those.

, just the mufflers. Seeing as though our exhaust is pretty much free flow from factory as it can get, i figured I wouldnt waste the extra hundred bucks for the full cat back.

good eye man. lol Yes, the one side is coming up. The friggin body shop screwed it up and the tape keeps coming loose forcing part of it off the trunk.. Once it gets warm out, I am redoing it. It's bothering the crap out of me.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
