Hi everyone.
I've been counting days for this moment to join the Modded TLers Club!
Well, except for the K&N filter, this is my first mod ever in my life.. Its been quite
a bit since I received the parts (Maybe 4-5 days ago) but I'm finally getting this beautiful work of art installed on my car on monday.

To share with you guys, Here are some pics:


I was quite surprised at its size at first.
This stuff is pretty tall. But doesnt weigh too much, aroung 60 pounds?





Well packaged and protected with rather interesting "instant foam pack".



Here are the beautiful mufflers.. Shiny as hell




Close ups

Oh man I really cant wait to put these things on the car.

By the way, I asked Acura Dealer to do the installation and they quoted to do it for $145 CAD so I'm going for it. However one of the Comptech Dealer: Acura Woodbine (Ontario) quoted $175 CAD.. I hope they do a good job though.

I'll keep you guys posted!

Cheers!

who'd u buy it from? dealer in ontario?

RevinV12s

I bought it directly from comptechusa. Waited for them to produce it fresh for me

If you want to keep the header rust free, coat it with Jethot cermaic high temperature coating. See this Comptech header on black market.

Nice, cant wait to see it on ur A-Spec.

I see comptech changed the design of the mufflers. They are no longer straight thru, they are offset in center out. No loud tip inserts for you.

why bring it in to install. Its a easy install

samkws

lol
145 CAD plus tax???

i paid 30 CAD to put that on...LOL

anyone that has a hoist can put that on for you in less than 30 min, seriously


and i have the comptech cat back for over a year, have fun with it

RevinV12s

Man, Am I getting ripped off?

RevinV12s

I wanted to do it my self but my family and girl friend stopped me from doing so. They said it was too dangerous..

I guess I'll just avoid worrying them

fsttyms1

Dangerous?????

Thats kind of expensive for an install for exhaust. It should be less than $100.

if possible, can you measure the diamater of the axleback exhaust pipe. and the diamter of the 2 pipes that split at the y-section. thanks.

RevinV12s

the thing is that I need to get under the car..
They just dont like the idea of that. Telling "What if the car falls on top of you?" and stuff

RevinV12s

You mean diameter at the tip and beginning of the pipe that leads to the muffler?
Ill get it for you in a sec

MikePA

How can it fall on you? Unless you're Fat Bastard, there's no need to jack up the car, you can crawl underneath it.

RevinV12s

Here are the measurements.


This is where the muffler connects to y pipe


tip diameter

*Measurements are in CM.

RevinV12s

Really? I really didnt think I could fit under my car. I guess it's worth trying!

fsttyms1

Its called good jack and JACKSTANDS!!! Making DIY Projects SAFE For years!!!

MikePA

If your car isn't lowered, you can crawl underneath it. Although, jacking it up, and placing jackstand under it, will give you more room to work.

thanks! so the axleback pipe diamater is only 1.75", interesting, comptech didnt increase the size and left it at stock spec.

RevinV12s

I was thinking of doing that.. How much is a jackstand? I mean something like this?

Save the money go buy jackstands instead. Installing exhaust is very easy, not dangerous at all if you know how to jack a car up and put stands under it in the right spots

samkws

where do u live?
come to scarborough and i can hook u up for 60 dollars tax in, that's where my garage is located at

it's a perfect fit bolt on so it's damn easy, and there won't be a fitment problem at all because the comptech system is more expensive

samkws

don't worry about the fitment, it's a comptech and this is what you paid for

the muffers have a 2" piping and 2.5" for the b-pipe, and the tip outlet is 3.5" for the 2nd gen TL, the new TL has a 4" tip

it will fit absolutely perfect like stock, you will probably want some new screws (they should come with some new ones for u)

you dun have a header or intake, so don't expect a lot of gain from the exhaust....and it's not that noisy as well...it's only a little bit noiser than the 350Z or G35

joe80055

What do you do if the bolts are too rusted to take out the stock exhaust? Torching wouldn't help at all with mine

MikePA

I used heat and a 500 ft lb impact wrench to try and install my axlebacks. I took it to Midas and they had to torch them off.

samkws

that's why i am paying 30 bucks to do that, because i knew i won't be able to take it off
