I'm interested in getting the Magnaflow exhaust system to replace the stock one. But I'm thinking that if I just replace the mufflers/tips then it'd be the same anyway.... Right?

 

magnaflow looks nice and sounds good too

 

it probably wont sound a whole lot different because of the factory resonators. they muffel alot of sound. youmay get some more hp and better sound if you get all new custom piping and a new res

 

im getting magnaflows myself too...

 

is it possible to just get the b-pipe from magnaflow? the comptech version is like 400 bucks for something that yields 1-2 hp.

 

I love my cat back Magnaflow setup. I've had it almost a year and it gets better sounding the more it wears in. I get compliments on it all the time; looks, attitude, sound and performance. Can't be beat.

 

I don't want to eliminate the silence of the factory setup. If I just change the mufflers, then the quiteness of the factory setup won't be compromised so much?

 

Comptech B-Pipe will only work with the TL-S/CL-S. This is just a caution for all you guys lookin into the mod.

 

Where do I get the Magnaflow catback?

 

Check out THIS SITE FOR THE CHEAPEST PRICE YET
>>Look under Honda V6.

 

that honda v6 will not be long enough.

 

I'll get the Mufflers instead.

 

You can use the magnaflow cat back, but it will have to be modified. Since i have done a few setups for members on the board, and am the originator of the Magnaflow cat back, i will give you my advice.
You have a type S, the piping is good for an all motor application. My advice is get a magnaflow Y pipe, and have an exhaust shop fabricate the piping from the axel back. Then remove both resonators on the b pipe and add a 12-18 inch magnaflow resonator. You will thank me.

 

Also if you go with just the mufflers, it will sound deep, but not overly loud. Better than comptechs.

 

bigman -- You have a PM from me.

 

I love the sound of your exhaust. Would you be able to list all the parts required in order for this to work???

I know that you need two #14829.

What else do you need? I believe the Y Pipe part number is 10758, but I am unclear on the resonator. Is it the 22 incher that you need??? or is it the 12-18 inch???

Can you clear this up.

Thanks bigman!

 

i just ordered everything from here:

this place was great.
best prices.

talk to John.
http://www.completeexhaust.com

 

i got the 14in stainless resonator.
#14415
50.00.
i figure if it is horribly loud...i'll get a bigger resonator.
but John at completeexhaust.com, said this was a
good choice.

 

Do you mind posting all the part numbers for the stuff you bought

Thanks man.

 

likely he used the 18in...22 in would be the overall body length.

 

14415 res.
14829 muffs.
i'll get the y pipe number in a minute.

 

y pipe
#10758

 

I don't see 10758 on completeexhaust.com.

 

Oh, and how much was shipping, joseph?

 

he said it is not on the site.
u will have to call.

50.00 for the res
100.00 x 2 for mufflers
25.00 for y pipe.

and i think he said like 20.00 for shipping.

i figure 100.00 to 150.00 for install....maybe cheaper.

overall..not bad for a catback.

 

Not bad at all. Those prices are cheaper than the listed prices on their web site!! Why the discrepancy??

Now my question is... would the muffler shop cut out the stock resonator and weld the new one onto the existing pipes? Then make new pipes from the Y-pipe to the mufflers? I'm about to order right now.

 

make new pipes.

try to keep stock exhaust intact.

mine is stock exh. is being sold

plus..when i was on the phone w/John...every price he gave
me was less than what was on the website.

mention my name.

i just ordered the stuff an hour ago.

go for it.

 

new piping from cat to res.
res to y pipe.
y pipe to mufflers.

 

Excellent. Thank you, Joseph.


It turns out that one of my friends' buddy is a licensed Magnaflow dealer, and I'll be getting parts through him. But I don't think it's going to be anything ridiculously cheap; just a few extra bucks' worth of savings. I'm just waiting to hear on the price of the mufflers, and I think I'll be ordering the parts tomorrow!

 

here is what i would do. it would save you money and more than likely sound better, and be better flow.
remove the big resonator. place a in 1 out 2 muffler in its location. (the muffer would act as the Y) then have the piping custom bent (dual) to the rear to a nice set of resonated tips

im contimplating getting rid of my comptechs to do this?

 

I like the idea....

 

And this would be much louder no?

 

If I get a bigger resonator, what does it mean? Louder? Deeper? "Quiet"er?

 

I'd assume it means quieter

 

im thinking the magnaflow setup is most value exhaust system. I found Apexi WS 2 on ebay, but 600 bux

 

and I don't think the WS2 look that great anyway

 

Cool

 

KRIS..
thats a good idea.
much lighter also.

 

get those hammerbeck things.

 

Hate to jump into the thread so late and with my 3rd gen, but my mother has a 2nd gen with pretty much the same set up. I just put on a magnaflow system for the sound, and did the same for her but i did all the pipes myself to get a larger diameter. I replaced the resonator with a magnaflow one to cut the raspy sound and did the mufflers with magnaflow as well. Sounds awesome, tone is smooth and deep. Cant ask for much more without paying an arm and a leg for a tuner system.
