Had to get a new mod on in time for the Mass meet yesterday so i installed the comptech catback exhaust that has been sitting in my garage all winter after pieceing it together.

Ran around to 2 acura/honda dealers in order to find the correct gasket i needed. The gaskets for the exhaust to the y-pipe are the same as the stock TL-P or V6 accord gaskets, the type-s ones are too big.


After taking some fine steel wool, soap and water got the exhaust and b-pipe lookin pretty good for used:


Ripped out the entire old exhaust includeing the cat cause the cat 2 b-pipe bolts where shot.


Since the cat is shot too, and is getting replaced this week under warrenty i couldn't just cut the bolts. One bolt came off with the correct 14mm socket the other too had to have 13mm sockets hammered on in order to be able to take them off and on again.


Everything in, and the usually left side hanging low...


Nothing a couple hose clamps couldn't fix though......

 

Looks great..that Y pipe looks official. The bolts to the cat suck, I hated those bolts with a passion. How is the tranny? Mine is opening up pretty nicely now.

 

cool, congrats! i haven't been able to drive up on ramps in a long time lolol

when i got mine installed, the cat bolts came off with ease

hows it sound?

 

yeah i decided not to use the ramps either since the driveway is angled down, so just jacked it up instead.

Sounds sweet I tried making a quick video of it, but my camera has a crappy mic on it and didn't capture the true sound of it.

as for the tranny it is coming out of its shell. I can definatly tell the shifts are a lot quicker than anytime before.

 

nice.. can u get a sound clip of it so I can see if I want it or not?

 

wait u had this on yesterday? i didnt even notice

 

haha, yeah they where on, but with all the cars backed in u really wouldn't have noticed, but the sounds is noticable

 

I did! Shit looks killer!!! Gonna look even better with time as Comptech has shut down as we all know!

I had to go back and edit this because I just notices Mike's avatar! Niiice! did you do that with PS?

 

Looks hot! What's the part number of the gaskets? I can make out all but 2 of the letters/numbers.

 

yep all done in PS.

gasket p/n is 18303-SE1-S01

 

again my camera sux at capturing the true sound, the nice deep rumble it puts out isn't capture in the short sound byte but should give u a decent idea. I also have the xspower headers installed along with the comptech ice box.
