for some reason I think my exhaust is getting louder and sometimes it annoys me. I think the luxary part of my car is really gone and I think my comptech exhaust is too loud for me!

Gonna have to cough up the moolah and get the Mugen...

I was considering the Comptech exhaust for my car, but I decided that the noise, aside from being a bit too loud, isn't even a pleasant tone. Aside from that I'm not in love with their looks; they're pretty expensive for a pair of mufflers; and they result in only a negligible power increase.

No offense to anyone who has them, of course

Hmm... I guess ppl say different things especially because we have different tastes for everything.

I personally love having aftermarket exhausts on ANY car. And I HAD to get one for my TL. I chose Comptechs since these were the ones specially designed for TL. I actually wanted the Greddy's (cuz I'm a big fan of Greddy exhauts)... but I'd have to have the exhauts fabricated to fit the TL since they are made for Accords. Any fabs will probably void the Greddy warranty... that's why I decided to go with Comptechs. After I've had it for a while, I think it still could be louder. The Comptech soud is so soft. It's lacking the aggressive exhaust note that tells everyone that you mean BUZINEZ. ...kno what I mean?

Even tho I love the aggressive deep throaty sound of Greddys, I'm still glad I got my Comptechs, especially when I drive my clients around. It's not loud at all... really. It's not loud at all.

i love the sound of my Comptech exhaust.

I have no complaints about it (except for it being lower on one side )

I just bought and installed Tanabe Hyper Exhaust and I love the sound it makes....very deep, but i still need an intake.

I think the left muffler must be lower on everybody's Comptech's. Monday I was under the car installing new sways and did as a number of other members have done, installed a metal hose clamp around one of the rubber hangers. There is a hanger at the rear and front of the muffler, I clamped the front one and just started screwing it tighter until it hung properly. Both sides are now even. Give it a try, it's a really simple fix and now looks alot better.

i think my comptech exhaust sit pretty evenly.. i don't think my left one is lower than the right....

You can always take them off and hand them over to me!!

i guess i'm more into trendier designs. i couldn't see myself paying $600 (comptechs) for what look like ultra-flo mufflers that cost about $90 each. and the only thing custom about them is the muffler to flange piping for fit. funny how people mention the lobsidedness. my friend's shop did an install of the comptechs a few weeks ago before i saw these posts and my friend and his installer both were commenting on the questionable uneven fit.

i like the greddy evo's but not for $700 (even though its cat-back) when i know that i'm probably going to have to pay a grip for customizing the fit.

the only thing i want from comptech is the headers and that's because nobody else makes them.

I agree with everything you said. I LOVE my Tanabe exhaust, it looks very aggresive and sounds mean! If you want luxury, don't get an exhaust at all.

MahaRaja

I agree with you!

They (Comptech Exhaust) sometimes do get annoying, I cannot argue that point.

But sometimes, when your head is on striaght, the sound GREAT!

Yup, I did the metal hose clamp before the Park Ave meet so that was like 5-6 weeks ago? It's lifted it a little, but it's still not perfect. Oh well.

Yeah its intresting, sometimes I think the exhaust is too lound and sometimes I dont think it is loud enough. Go figure
