Best Exhaust for "PERFORMANCE"

Hi, i know mostly the Exhausts are for Looks and sounds only. But i actually want the 1 with atleast some Performance capabilities. Which 1 would be better. Also please let me know Whats the difference in Cat-Back and just Exhaust if there is any difference. (im such a no0b ) i have a 2002TL-P thinking to put all mods all together.

UR Pulley -AtHome

Also thinking exhausts if they give me any HP.

NONE. They are all about the same (Less than 8hp) The TL already has a great free flowing exhaust, if your going to go all out, you may want to look into a RT cat as well. A full cat back will yield slightly more than just a set of mufflers.

Cat Back is exactly what it says. Its a complete exhaust from the cat back. All others are just mufflers. Cat backs usually replace the pipe with slightly larger pipe, smoother bends and less restriction.

The QuietTip inserts are not necessary, especially with either OEM piping and resonator or the CompTech piping and resonator. They would only be useful if you wanted to totally silence your system.

No offense, but try a Search. All this has been discussed, many times, before.

If you want to see hp figures, go to the Comptech website.

Most of your posts are just telling people to use the Search, why don't you try to help instead???

Because just about every topic has been discussed and answered? many times spending 5 min to search will yield results faster than waiting for answers?

See TLsu's and kris's answers.

It's one thing if someone had done a search and couldn't find anything. Or if they found something and didn't understand and then asked questions. New people who immediately start asking questions might not know about the search feature, so I tell them. (You assumed telling them to Search was not helping.) Or they are lazy and want other people to do their work for them. If people just answer their questions, then they'll always simply just ask instead of learning for themselves.

yea especially on this board, there isn't such a broad range of aftermarket products for the TL, that every subject has been beaten to death several times. You'll know if you've been here long enough that the same topics are made by new people, and it's a waste of space.

Vets like Kris and others are always here to help of course, but just do a search. it makes everyone's life easier.

and your question has already been answered so i'll leave it at that.

Now if these subjects are beaten to death and we didn't have noob's or anyone bringing them up anymore. Then think...what would we be talking about anymore. Everyone's talked about motor swaps, spoiler opinions, tranny swaps, HID this and that. I mean...I think this is what the website is here for. I hear you on the whole search to better yourself and not be a lazy ass. But like I said. This website is here for just that. To talk about anything and everything that has to do with these Acura's. The moderators don't seem to really stress to much about things being repeated so why should others?
Other forums can be really rude about people repeating things. I think Acurazine is really cool and just helps people out no matter how many times it's been brought up. WHY is that? Because thats what we're all here for. To give a little and to help a little. Just my
