Exhaust question (noob)
I was trying to pick out an exhaust. Personally, I think the comptech looks a bit too much like stock, and the tanabe and apexi dont quite look aggressive (if anyone who has them on their TL would like to take pictures, i'd really appreciate it). I was wondering if it would be possible to go with Alphawerks. I've seen them on Accords and CLs but they dont make a kit for the TL. So do you think I could get one custom made from a reputable shop?

$540 for the Apexi is the Catback system. $600 for the Comptech is only the axleback. $1,000 for the Comptech's Catback system. Alsmost $500 buck cheaper!

Having said that, upgrading an exhaust system is primarily about 2 things; Looks and Sound. The cheapest way to accomplish that is by cutting out the resonators and adding new exhaust tips. The most expensive way is to install a cat back system. Axlebacks are in the middle.

But you're right: exhaust is for looks+sound, esp if it's just the mufflers.
