i have a 01' TL n im planning to get an exhuast around xmas...just wana know what most of u guys prefer...bigmans exhaust really made a good impression n i was gona get comptechs...i just want more variety to choose from...itll especially help out if there were sites with clips of different exhuasts on TLs...

 

Magnaflow aaaaalll the way!!


i have a video of my car i can send you if you want.

 

comptech baby!

 

I like my Apexi WS catback. Sounds good and the price was right.

 

any one have pics of comptech exhaust from a standing view, like if you were to just casually walk by the car how would they appear?

And aren't comptechs the quietest? Is it possible to get exhaust that make you car sound like the g35 or maybe a throaty bmw? Not ricey at all...I just don't know which ones sound like what.

Does it look bad without a body kit?

 

BTW I like that apexi catback bro

 

comptech all the way!

this is more of a debadge shot but its all i have

 

i like that fsttyms1, but is there any way to get those pipes closer to the bottom of the bumper?

 

and what are exhaust resonators?

 

someone told me once that my exhaust sounded a bit like the G35C


exhaust resonators are small mufflers you can put somewhere between the cat and the mufflers of your car to quiet down ur exhaust.

 

they are actually really close like 1/2" the one on the right side hung lower due to me having the resonators cut out and the pipe was cocked a little causing the one to hang lower. i since redid it myself and its all better now

 

exhaust resonators are placed along the pipes to quite the sound of the exhaust. There are two, a big and smaller one...removing them would just make your exhaust alot louder.

 

i dont think so, but they sound the nicest

 

I think comptech are the quietest... It almost looks stock to me....

 

they are almost exactly the same size as stock with the exception of the tips. they arent that quiet either. the best part about the comptech is you can get the quiet tip inserts

 

both of those looks really nice...ive heard urs fsttyms1...n i must say it does sounds great...now the price for comptech is like $624...so what bout the Apexi...its priced around $100 cheaper...but on the sites it only shows 1 exhuast...so does that mean ill have to spen like $1K on 2 or does it come with both? o yea...@cur@-TL...can u send me that vid... darkangelwing0@gmail.com ...thx

 

Comptech is the best you can buy.

 

I just put on my axel-back Comptech. The price sucks to be honest.. You can get a full catback for the amount you'll pay for CT axelbacks.

The CT looks close to stock in terms of shape, but the tips are noticeably larger and MUCH shinier since the WHOLE muffler's polished steel, not just the tips. Just walking by the car, you'll notice both mufflers gleaming.

IMO, the CT does NOT need the quiet tip inserts. I have very conservative tastes, yet even I found the exhaust to be on the quiet side. The exhaust sounds AWESOME when you first start the car, but it's not really that noticeable from inside the car at idle. It's loudest at around 2-3k RPM, and not noticeable a WOT (but this might be due to my CAI which is loud as hell).

Hope this helps.

 

wow those apexi ws look really good.

 

Thanks, I really like the looks and sound of the Apexi and the price was right - $355 catback on Ebay! I'm doing a bunch of mods. I'll post pictures of all of them when I'm done soon.

 

Comptech Cat-Back




Kinda loud for my tastes, although I have a Type-S with the supercharger and headers so I'm sure that adds to the noise. Sounds awesome under WOT though.

 

is there any way to get a sound clip of the Apexi?! thats the only other viable option i am considering

 

yea...i really would like to hear that Apexi...hopefully it sounds as good as it looks...but im sure it does...

 

i wanna c

 

U can't buy it anymore, it's discontinued... u have to get lucky on ebay to find one... just like dave did. when i bought mine they were pushing WS2 exhausts. Hopefully they are maing WS2 for the TLs. I was told the the rep that it's the same exhaust but the tips are thicker

 

get the quiet tip inserts. they do make a big difference (i have them in for daily driving because with out the exhaust resonators it can get anoying in slow driving and long hwy trips)

 

WHAT...that sux...discontinued...any1 know y?...im watching a F1 race right now...wouldnt it b sick if there was an exhaust that sounds like a F1 car...*whew*...just a thought...lol

 

besides the looks...wut exactly do these exhausts do?? if its more hp...how much??

 

looks...sound...if axle bak...few...cat bak...a little bit more i think...rite guys?

 

I have them sitting in the basement, just too lazy to put them on.

 

takes all of 30 sec to install

 

 

 

apexi ws
