WTF is the point in the axle back exhaust?????


Please enlighten me.

 

Same point as a cat back.

 

Looks

Less restrictive mufflers but the performance is minimal

 

Sound and looks, that's it. If you go FI, then you can gain 10 whp with a catback.

 

performance is minimal for any exhaust you put on the car, its more for sound and looks then anything

 

Comptech site shows 7.5 hp and 10 tq gains with a cat back, just a catback, no FI, on a 2004 TL. Depends what people consider 'minimal'.

 

well since we this is the 99-03 forum, we dont need numbers on the '04's power quotes for exhaust, you think that, that 7.5hp gain is gonna do anything for you? nah

 

yeah man...this site is the 99 to 03 ....not the 3G...

but man....get those catback exhaust and you won't regret..

 

i dont know how good the exhaust is on the 2nd gen but sometimes there isnt much to be gained by going cat back if the pipe is already wide enough. i know on the new ford mustang gt's Flowmaster just replaced the mufflers to get the HP gains, adding anything bigger to the rest of the exhaust did nothing to improve performance.

 

yea i got axle backs, just for sound really. looks a bit better. its a little bit cheaper than the cat back, easier to put on (diy). if you want more sound you can always spend the 30 bucks to take the stock resonators out and put an 18 inch resonator and its pretty much cat back. just missing the shiny parts which will get destroyed in a winter.

 

demo... how much louder is it with the 18 inch? its only 30 bucks to do?
i got comptech axles and theyre a bit too quiet

 

i didn't do it yet. but you would have to buy the resonator wich is like 50 bucks give or take. and to get it done is like 30 bucks. i plan on doing this in the summer.

personally idk if i will ever do it. im debating.

 

Im acually plainning on doing that. cat back for 600-700 bucks is a lil more thank i like to spend on spme pipes, when im just looking for a lil bit better sound. dont need any more performance

 

Yes you can pick up resonators for 20-30 bucks, then just need to get the oem resonators removed and the new one put into place. Shouldnt cost more than30-40 bucks

 

do some research into the type of resonator you are going to buy. there are a lot on the market that really dont do anything for performance or even sound. often you will find a resonator, put install it and then get a really harsh sound coming from the exhaust. magnaflow makes a good resonator in a variety of different lenghts. the best thing to do is have the exhaust shop weld flanges onto your stock pipe and then install flanges on your oem resonator, the new resonator and even straight exhaust pipe so you have some options and are not stuck with one design. its not that much more and most shops will be happy to do it.

 

I Love The Stock Sound Of The Exhaust..... If I Were To Cange Anything I Would Jus Put Bigger Pipes On..... I Would Keep The Stock Exaust.....

 

Our exhaust is Very quiet and almost 0 sound

 

It sucks, but we bought a family sedan, what did we expect?
