FYI, Comptech only makes an axle-back exhaust.. so I assume that's the one you're referring to.

Yes, all of the stuff made for the CL-S is the same as the TL-S and vice versa. They are essential the same car with the exception of the door thing

Juniorbean,

Yes, thats what I was referring to. I checked the Comptech webpage and the CL-S axle-back system has a different part number than the TL-S axle-back system.

I just wonder if there is any difference in the 2 systems? Just want to make sure the hangers ansd such will be the same.

hmmm, that's strange. My Comptech exhausts said both CL-S and TL-S on the box. It's possible they may have changed something slightly (mine were bought about a year and a half ago). Best bet would be to shoot Comptech an email.....

Juniorbean,

This sytem is about a year old, so I bet it will fit. Just curious, how does it sound compared to stock? I just don't want that "ricey" sound that I hear from civics, accords and other smaller cars. I know its not gonna sound like a V8, but would like a nice throaty sound..

Let me know..

J

PS: I called Comptech and all the guy would say is they have different part numbers, but that it might fit?? He wasn't much help..He couldn't tell me if they where different or not..

That's exactly what I would call it. Throaty, definitely not ricey. Not at all. Sounds like a 60s muscle car.

NSXNEXT,

What are "quiet tips"? Do they not come with the system when new?

Yup... this is pretty much how it sounds. It's close to a V8 sound.. but not quite. They really finish off the car both look and sound-wise.

The quiet tips are optional tips if you don't like the sound of the exhaust. By installing those you'll have the look of the exhausts with a stock sound. Waste of $$ in my opinion. If you don't like the sound, save yourself about $550 and just buy tips for the stock muffler....
