Info on Apexi & Neuspeed Exhaust systems
#81
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.

^^ 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!

^^ 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.

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

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.

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.
