just got the exhaust off this website (http://www.speed-element.com/servlet/Detail?no=193) for my stock 2001 acura tl-p. pretty satisfied overall. just a little quiet. does anyone know how to make the nice tone louder?
here is a video of my car with the tsudo axleback exhaust on:

I ordered this exhaust too. did you install yourself or get a shop to?

As for the topic, maybe if you get the midmufflers removed

arthur18

i installed it myself. it took a while but i got it done lol.
would any dealer be able to do that? and which one is the midmuffler?

wow that does sound quiet. some ppl have said having this installed and getting the exhaust resonator makes it too loud.

Sounds great, thats the volume i am looking for, I that. thanks for posting the video, iv been waiting to hear a video on this exhaust with the mid muffler on. as long as the mid muffler stays on its not going to be loud at all, which is what I want. the mid muffler is behind the Y.

if you want rasp, more drone and loudness you can remove the mid muffler. i think assclown did that, he posted a video i think

I have the Tsudos with my mid muffler and resonator deleted and have no rasp at all and sounds pretty damn good!

Yes, when I installed mine the right side was touching the bumper. I had to beat the metal hangers with a hammer to bend them into place.

I just bought a set from their website for 250.00 shipped.

However, there is a user selling his for 200.00, probably the best deal you can find right now.

i dunno bout you guys but i bought mine straight from speed-element $225 shipped

mlrskn06

iTrader: (2)

not meaning to thread jack but its pretty much the same topic... would u guys recommend getting just the tsudo mufflers for 160 shipped or the mufflers w/ that little extra piping i guess the axleback idk wat its called for like 220? is that extra piping really necessary?

VietGuy03

iTrader: (4)

The 220.00 price is already fabricated to fit the TL and it comes with gaskets and bolts. This means that you can pretty much install the exhaust yourself.

If you do the 160.00 pricing all you are getting is "Universal" mufflers and you will have to take to a Muffler shop and have welded on and pay extra.
So....if you take into account the labor cost of welding the universal mufflers than you will probably come out ahead with just getting the 220.00 fabricated axlebacks instead.

^ what he said..

VietGuy03

iTrader: (4)

And... you are going to be paying for shipping of 2 mufflers either way, so you might as well pay for the ones that you or a friend can install yourselves. (Unless you are picking the mufflers up or something...)

lol, thanks!

nhn23

iTrader: (4)

dont forget, the universal ones dont come with hangers made for the TL yet. so therefore, each hangers would cost about 10-15 bucks to weld on and i believe thers 4 hangers total on both mufflers.

^ what he said.. lol

Ooo ok thanks guys so I guess overrall no bad reviews yes?

i like mine, i had the midmuffler removed so i have a bit of a drone, but you get used to it.

VietGuy03

iTrader: (4)

I just replaced the mufflers and I am happy with the results. A low performance tone, but definitely not something that would be annoying or should attract attention with a moderate driving style.

However, just replacing the muffler does not give the G35 tone. It is the people who have removed their resonator or mid-muffler that have said they sounded more like a G35. You will get more a drone though if you do this, and it is all a matter of personal preference.

I don't want the drone in the car so I am going to keep it like this. I will try to put a video up soon, just gotta mess with the hangers a little bit.

nhn23

iTrader: (4)

no matter what you do, you're not gonna get a g35 sound out of these mufflers
