gold2003tl (90)

show us a video clip of you driving it, inside a parking garage is going to make it sound way different than if you were out side.

TACURA

Like i said in post 7

Here is mine with straight pipes. Yes the mufflers (comptecs) are on but there is a insert in them to make it straight pipe. Only thing on the car is the cat. Ill make a vid this spring of my new setup with straight the mufflers bypassed.

MyPearl02

that sounds sexy

gold2003tl (90)

wow straight pipe sounds really sexy, and very racy. good job fsttyms1

A little much for a daily driver though... My buddy has his g35 running straight pipe and it sounds like garbage when you are just driving in the city and unbearably loud garbage when accelerating.

Leave your mufflers on your daily drivers kids.

fsttyms1

its fun for playing but not something you would ever consider having as a daily driver. Plus in most cities you would be harassed in no time by the police.

thats why i like the comptech mufflers, 1 min and i can pull the quiet tip insert out leave it the way it is or put the "loud tip inserts"- basically straight pipe that allows the exhaust to be un-muffled) and put the little screw in for loud and obnoxious fun.

thinhthan

so all you guys got is the cat right? everything after the cat is straght?

NYtypeS03

i use to have a complete straight pipe with no cat, or any resonators just mufflers and it was obnoxiouly annoying loud. Now i have no cat with a high flow resonator and mufflers sounds sexyy

Let's see some pics from underneath the car.

rbsurfer

As soon as i get taxes back i am going to try to make a full cat-back i got a set of mufflers for free so i plan to use them they have 4" tips so i hope it does not look too ricy

tegkid

iTrader: (7)

it will.
find different tips.

z3Ro

sounds totally when u have aftermarket xhaust...

rbsurfer

thats why I dont wanna do it yet but im dying for exhaust. there canisters so i guess that would make it ricy

ACURA`TL`TYPE-$

I actually wnt to do this, but should I keep the cat with no tips, or whould i just do strait from the heads? Btw i am too broke for muflers so let me know which sounds better and gives better resolts
thnks

zeppler

thats not straight pipe.
straight pipe is just pipe with nothing in between
no mufflers, no resonator no cat

if you want straight pipe go for a 3 inch, or maybe a bit under

these would be pipes running down from your headers to the back of the car.
the shorter u make them, louder it will be. longer, more backfire

straight pipe is NOTHING IN BETWEEN from headers to tips.

a modified straight pipe would be one with some type of muffler

for example. my upcoming project
straight pipes. from headers straight into a single cherry bomb glasspack. (its a midmuffler piece. perfect bolt on)
from there EVEN split into two pipes. unlike a stock TL y split that is not even, its towards the right.
from there straight 3 inch piping into flowmasters.

this would be considered straight pipe, but really isnt. there is no cat, but there are mufflers. it will be a loud ass bitch with shitload of compression. backfire rumbles here i come

3" on an NA car is pointless, u might even lose power.

zeppler

ive got a shitload of piping and mufflers layin around from other cars and projects.

just gna play around with it
in the past 3 years, ive gone through 2 70s trans ams and 3 camaros. building, selling, stripping.

gotta make something out of it now that im in the import market hahaha

JDM Inspired

Can we get a shot under the car with straight pipes, KRIS you car sounds SICK BRO!!!!!!!! I heard about some sensor on the CAT EXPLAIN?? BTW I removed my midmuffler but Kris you got that sound im missing!!!!!! With stock mufflers IT should sound alittle quiter?

tegkid

iTrader: (7)

here is a basic diagram why you shouldn't go too large on piping

BensTLS

Your car would look 100x better with 02-03 tail light. Nice sound though.

zeppler

thank you for the diagram tegkid
like i said, im experimenting with stuff. and ima have a mid muffler cherry bomb from headers into straight pipe. so...im not really loosing pressure, actually adding pressure. glasspacks have a lot of compression
