Thumbs up Muffler delete.......

....Welcome Barry95 !

Is your OEM exhaust still in good shape ? What kinda sound are ya looking for ?

There are several options that you can consider. First, would be a free flowing "cat-back" replacement exhaust system. This could be a direct bolt-on aftermarket system or a custom made set-up.

If ya want to simply cut out the mid muffler or eliminate the rear mufflers from the current original system, this is also possible with some minor modifications. For more detailed info, check out some past posts which others have done. Sometimes ya gotta try some creativity !

If you want deeper you can simply take off your rear mufflers they are easy to take off just 2 bolts each. That gives you a deeper slightly hollow sound but i like it. I have it done to my car right now. Here's the video of it

No i just unbolted the mufflers and left it how it was because it has hangers at the mid-muffler and after you remove the rear mufflers its just a piece of pipe coming out of the mid muffler so there isn't much weight on it. its pretty sturdy doesn't move around but i took it to a shop and he said he would run piping to the rear at the stock location with tips for $150.

Hey man, if ya like the sound....then $150 for pipes with tips installed is a good deal. Ya probably would be able to sell the stock mufflers and get the job done for the difference. A win...win !

the type s will sound different from the tl-p.

If you do want them actually off, run piping or else the exhaust will go into ur cabin + you will constantly be blowing that exhaust towards yours wheels/tires, which I doubt is a good thing.
I recommend buying your own tips though.
Getting everything done up was about ~$120, but that was with extra piping to have my pipes out.

Hey B - I started with a resonator delete so far and I like it. Had the local muffler shop cut it out and weld in some straight pipe for about $75. Sounds racey, not "ricey" and the rest of the exhaust is still stock. Gives a subtle increase in throatiness and a deeper tone. Just a little louder than stock. Sounds like no other Honda I've heard... Good cheap way to go to let people know your exhaust is not stock without going overboard. Just my
