i know their has been alot of discussion on the exhaust system for our cars..but do we actually know which is the absolute best exhaust system out there.i was wondering if anyone knows..i am really stressing which system to get..and i am looking for the best performer..comptech?hks?greddy?..please help me i am on the verge of purchasing one but i am not certain which is the best and i am only looking for the best

thank you..

 

I am interested too since I will be getting one next summer. I've heard the Comptech and the sound is great but not much hp gain.

 

I was told to not look to the exhaust for any major gain in hp....but wouldn't we get more gain than a car with an inline-4?

 

No matter which exhaust you get, don't expect any gains. You're probably looking in the 1-3hp range. Our exhaust is so free-flowing as it is that you really can't squeeze to much more out of it....especially with an axle-back setup.

Personally I went with the Comptech. #1 Comptech specializes in Honda/Acura parts. #2 The Comptech exhaust seems to finish off the car perfectly, both in sound and appearance. The HKS sounds similar (haven't heard the Greddy), but I think the HKS and the Greddy look too big for this car. Again, this is my opinion, some people like it. If I had to choose between the HKS and the Greddy, I'd choose the HKS, but out of all 3, I went with the Comptech....

Here's a pic... for more, check out the TL section on my website in my sig....

 

It also depends on whether or not you are concerned about interior noise. Even Comptech's give you a substantial increase in cabin noise, if you don't want the internal noise, it may be worth your while to wait 4 - 8 weeks

 

I've noticed that a lot of people mention this... I don't really have any problem with cabin noise. Yes, it's a bit louder at low RPMs, but I drive around 2k-2200 RPMs on the highway (about 70-80mph, depending on traffic) and it's not that much louder then stock. If you're cruising around 50mph or so and your rpms are in the 1500 range, it's louder then, but not annoying, plus, I'm usually only at that range for a short period of time. I guess it's one of those personal taste type of things......

 

I took a drive with WDP99 at meet and was still on the fence. I'd like to hear yours but your on the wrong coast....oops that right it was me that moved across country.

 

I just got my Comptechs installed Monday. I have to say it is great, the noise is not loud at all. There is a increase in cabin noise, but sitting in the driver's seat it isn't annoying. I do feel a gain, but not much. And it definitely looks a lot better. The tips are not as huge like the HKS or Greddy. Just the right size for a sports sedan.

the top silver car is nice (remus universal exhaust)

 

I'm working on that right now...and will give the full info..as soon as I get some straight answers...

 

yea, make sure you have FULL INFO for us.
I want to install that too.

 

I thought that the Remus required some modification and wasn't a straight bolt-on?? I could've sworn I read that on here actually.....

Heck, if it fits (and sounds sweet) I may switch... those things are hot.....

 

You are right, it is not a straight bolt on..it does require some modifications, I guess that's why people are not willing to buy it...but I really like the looks of the tips...that's why i was saying i will give the FULL Report...

 

cool... (see my edit above)... I'd be interested in that report!!

 

Joey, my boy... Fvck the report, get the damn exhaust already!!

 

As long as you provide the funding...I'll be happy too
I will start research this saturday.

 

hahaha...

guys ..or u can go to a custom muffler shop...and have them weld on a remus like tip.... just not dual tips...u'll have to get an entire exhaust for that

city

 

ok so in conclusion you are basically saying that comptech is the best quality and our tl-s are already free flowing so not to anticipate a big hp increase,,so go with the best best quality nicest looking,and most faborable sound...so whats the deal with remus they are german and usually supply for bimmers..plus its a universal kit???why would you install that over a comptech..is their something i dont know besides the dual tips on each side

 

The only reason I really wanna get Remus is the looks. It looks very classy b/c I really don't like the tips of the Comptech, although I do like the canister...
