im in the market for a new exhuast system, if not just a few mods to it. Anyone know if Borla/Flowmaster/Magnaflow have bolt on mufflers for the rear section? and what is the stock exhaust diameter? I need ideas, i previously owned a Lexus LS with a flowmaster exhaust and cannot stand anything close to the stock acura/honda soundno offense. I want to achieve a standable yet respectable exhaust tone for my '03 TL-S.

 

Comptechs sound good or if you wanna wait for the ATLP it sounds like pure sex

 

I have called borla and I wanted to go with a 2 1/2 pipe all they have is universal off set for 120 or strait through type R for over 200 per muffler.

 

None of them make a direct bolt on. Every thing will have to be custom done.

 

go with magnaflow's, they sound great and are reasonably priced. Also easy to find. Get custom bent 2.5" piping from the cat to your resonator, which I'd recommend getting a magnaflow resonator as well and then from the resonator back to the Y-pipe, which I'd also get a magnaflow one.

So get 2 muff's, 1 resonator, 1 y-pipe and then go to an exhaust shop and have them custom bend some 2.5" piping to piece it all together. That cost me $200.00 plus cost for the maganflow stuiff which was $250.00. Total was $450.00 for a nice setup.

 

Yea comptech thats what i am going to get! I dont want something that is hella big!

 

I agree if you have a truck or suv I would surely put some magnaflow or borlas on but for an acura? Thats rediculous lmao. Go with apexi or comptech

 

steriotype much? haha a good amount of members have put magnaflow's on their cars here and they sound nice especially if you want to save your cash for other mods instead of spending a ton on an exhaust which doesn't produce that much extra power on our cars. If you have the cash ATLP ftw. Sounds and looks amazing. JRTL you may want to research a little more before making a comment...

 

lmao Yea I have a custom Magnaflow setup & it sounds mean. Veyr deep & aggressive. They just arent meant for V8s. They actually make a bolt on catback which does fit our cars. Some modification is needed though. Pizaul had it on his TLP.

 

Magnaflow has a bolt on catback? I had no idea. Do you happen to know a price on them

 

I think it was a cat-back for the Accord, which needs to be slightly modified for the TL. In any case, I've heard Pizaul's Magnaflow setup and it sounds amazing.

 

my b homie, I just know what I put it on and I have done mucho research on exhausts and your right I can't see myself paying top dollar for something that gives me maybe ten hp. On the other hand The tlp sounds great the way it is with mid muffler cut off, and intake. Let me know on price and ill tell you my "true" opinion if thats what you want... Damn northerners.lol jk

 

Yea I just searched around on google and found some that seemed like they would work. I guess I'll have to talk to him haha

 

get the comptech axleback, i just put one on my car yesterday and i'm loving it. Its deep but its not loud.

Its $600 but there is a code that gives you another 10-20% off. I cant remember what it is though. Ill see if I can find it.

Yep his really sounds nice, mine is deeper though since I got race mufflers (2.5" str8 through) & 2.5" piping

 

Its 'hottsavings' if you use that code you get a whole $100 off the price of the exhaust & its free shipping

 

2.5" from cat and from where Y split is.. 2.25" and mufflers.

i'd do all straight pipe.. see how you like the sound first.. let it break in and stuff.. and then decide if you want a resonator or not..

just my opinion

 

jjashaa how much would you figure that would cost to have done. not including the muffler cost just the price for the bent pipe

 

200 max...then adding the muffler probably another 50 -100 bucks

 

Just had custom exhaust put on about 2 weeks ago. 2.5" from the cat straight to two flo-pro twister mufflers... $238.

 

Thats a lot cheaper than what I expected to hear.

 

^^^ Its just bending and welding pip which avearged about $70/hour. Take into account 3 hours worth of bending & welding & materials & wallah, $200 for a custom exhaust. Gota buy your own muffs of course.

 

how much does the ATLP exhaust cost for a 02 TL-S?

 

950ish i believe

 

The $238 was the total price of mine actually, including mufflers. And it took the shop just under 2 hours to do it.

 

Wow I'll have to look into that then.

 

what kind of mufflers?

 

Flo-pro twisters.

A little louder than I expected, but extremely deep tone.

 

do you know what has to be modded on the accord magnaflow bolt on to fit the TLS?
