Sounds exactly like my exhaust, and it looks pretty much the same as WS I.

As far as cabin noise.... all I can say is that it's definitely there and it's loud. If you want something more quiet, go with comptechs. APex isn't for you if you are worried about being loud.

 

nice vid man.... definately digging the sound

 

sounds just like mine, awesome imaginary rep points for you

 

Where would someone pick up shorter exhaust hangers? I'm talking about the rubber that joins the muffler to the car. I have the ghetto version now with hose clamps pulling my pipes up.

 

^^ Try Napa or Autozone, they usually would have some, but make sure you have one off of the car with you to compare them with, goodluck. When i had the HKS ones on my old TL-P I had the exhaust shop bend the hangers on the exhaust a little bit so that they would sit flush with the body.

 

Alright, here is a link to the in car vid I did last night. For the first 1:30 it was done with all the windows and sunroof closed, the rest had the sunroof open. I tried to do some daily driving so you could see what the sound was like inside the car. I personally like the sound it makes, and as the girlfreind says, it gives the car some attitude. So here you go!

In Car Video

 

^^ Awesome, great job i must say. After looking at the first clip i must say i thought it would also be loud inside the car, but its amazing how you cant tell the exhaust is even there if you have the windows closed. Usually, and i know from experience with HKS, it is a problem with the exhaust system that the noise also hinders your hearing ability inside the car but it doesnt seem to be in your case. Also i noticed that the exhaust is really loud when you hit vtec, a characteristic that was only known to be true in greddy evo exhaust's case, which is a good thing, because most other members have noticed, or shall i say complained, with other exhausts that the sound dies after 3000 rpm.

 

dude you need gas

 

^^ yeah on that note, you aren't even wearing a seatbealt mate

 

nice videos man, thanks...im sure this musta helped alotta ppl out...

 

Jack n Coke,

Thanks mom Just kidding, normally I do, there wasn't anyone around. But when I'm I always have the belt on!

 

Remember kids seat belt is your friend

The apex exhaust is a 10 in my book. 2003 TL-S wait till you get (if you ever do) headers, and may be even a test pipe, you will really scream after you hear the sound of that combo

 

2003tls you the man. thanks for all videos, now to get my headers and apexi exhaust ... and the oddessy block... the car will be done. where are do you live in cheese land? I'm origanally from up in the northern part of the state. Thanks again...

 

my lil TL screams at vtec, with AEM V2, headers, and apex ws,

 

55M2G7L, do you have video equipment to show us, the sound outside and inside the cabin? Thanks dude nice avatar!

 

Haha "Cough Cough....VTEC!!!" Sounds similar to cometech in a way...to me at least

 

cough cough

1100 > 580

 

Quick question (I know I've asked this before):

Would this fit on a 03 CL-S??

I don't see why not, right? Since our exhaust systems are basically the same.

 

^^ it would but it would stick out way to far, and may even rub against the rear bumper inside.

 

You're saying the mufflers right? Could this be solved by a cut and weld?

 

Or how about hanger modification?

 

I am sure that the CL and TL b pipe are of the same length, but the rear exhaust section is where the difference is at. I took the comptechs off of my CL once and put them on my TL, they did fit without any issues but they sat 2 inchs behind the bumper edge. So if you take the exhaust that is made for a TL and put it on a CL it would stick out about 3 inchs or so, and i dont know if you like that idea. I am sure a local exhaust shop would be able to help you out and modify the exhaust and make it fit to your car. You may want to get the neuspeed exhaust for your car it has almost the same sound as the apexi and is around that price range as well, check out this video LINK , notice the WDP TL in it. It belongs to a fellow TLer named Vtechump. Heres the thread with pics as well LINK .


EDIT. Heres the link to the neuspeed CL catback exhaust its 599.00 which still is way better than the 1100 bux comptech one, LINK .

^^ another picture.

 

Do you have a site that sells the Neuspeed exhaust for the same price?

 

Check the edited post Nite, i did post a direct link as to where you can buy the exhaust from, goodluck. Here it is again LINK


The price difference is only 20 dollars. Because as 2003 TL-S said that it cost him 580 for the Apex exhaust and the Neuspeed one is 599 and i dont know if they charge shipping.

 

I just checked that link, and shipping is free, so all you would end up paying more would be 19 dollars.

 

Yea, thanks a lot Jack n Coke. I figured I probably will go for the Neuspeed. Easier and less headache with no modifications needed.

 

here is the total (I love free shipping, but I HATE California sales tax )
30.20.72 Stainless Steel Cat-back Exhaust $599.99
SHIPPING Shipping Service : UPS - Ground $0.00
SALES TAX California Sales Tax 7.25% $43.50
Total : $643.49

 

Good choice, coz you may need to sell your exhaust when you, if you ever, sell your car and potential buyers dont like the idea of having an altered exhaust.

 

Here i will do you one better check out the following thread from the private sales section. This chap is selling, i dont know if he still is, his neuspeed exhaust for a CL, but would like to trade it for your stock one. He is also in cali so get in touch with him and see if you guys can work something out, good luck.

nm, i see that you did try to buy it from him, whatever happened?

 

Bought!

 

^^ sweet, dont forget to post pics and a few sound clips as well

 

It was in really bad condition. Seemed too good to be true.

...just bought a new exhaust a few seconds ago. Should be nice and brand-spankin new!

Thanks for the help beyond what was necessary. I'm sure I'll return the favor in the future.

 

^^ Hey thats what we are here for mate, just dont forget to post pics and if possible video clips, goodluck

sweet!! looks kinda like the CT exhaust...I think I am going to switch, instead of buying the b pipe for $400, and having to mod it..

 

that tl with the apexi exhaust sounded beefy bro, very nice

 

sad news i got fuckd over a money order for sum apexi ws mufflers i won on ebay... gotta wait 3 days to file a claim tho man shit.... i hate this $290 was a steal too with shipping

 

Thanks for the great thread, jack. I am sold on the WSII, and they will be my next mod for sure.

 

^^ No problem mate, good luck with the exhaust. I will also be getting my hands onto a clip of a Greddy Evo 2 on a TL-S soon and will try to post it as soon as i get a chance.

 

dont you guys think the tip on the black TL is more oval than the one on the blue one? i dont really like the oval one...and, no more free shipping?
