He is taling about the size of the tips. Comptechs are not much larger than stock. I say that you should have gone with HKS, they sound way meaner with little resonance. They dont sound too loud and they are extremely quiet when cruising. There is a low hum that only the people can hear outside. My friend has it on his CL and another friend has the comptech on his TL and the difference is crazy.

I saw in the FAQ's that there are a few sound clips of the Comptech, how about the HKS ?

Well, it is a little too late since you ordered already. I think it is worthy it. The look and the sound.... Woooo Ahhhhh!! I can't complain, I bought it used.

I had the same problem. Immediately after I put in the order the the Comptechs, I started regretting my decision. But rest easy, because I can genuinely say that it is WORTH EVERY PENNY. Oh man.. once you start crusing around with that nice deep rumble, you'll realize that the sound and looks are priceless (almost)...

Car receives alot more attention from other people now too...

oh, and imo the HKS is a little too big for the TL. On the CL, they look ill tho

I too was in the same predicament. I HAD to buy an exhaust (due to an accident) but knowing me, I couldnt justify spending 600 on axlebacks where for $50 more you could get a full catback system. I opted to go with something that noone else bothered considering and ordered the Thermal R&D axle back which is $100 cheaper than the Comptechs. Oh....and these are oval, so it may not fit everyones taste.
