sup guys...our own shady_cu2 went to megan racing facility to test fit a exhaust prototype







quote from shady:

"Just putting the hooks on now, this is not what the final product will look like.
They will be making it with a thicker/wider muffler"

 

Sick!!!

 

GREAT! i really hope they change those mufflers those, they look awful lol

 

+1 those mufflers are no bueno haha

 

I would get this when it came out

 

Round mufflers ftl. I've had a Megan Racing exhaust on a Subaru, and while it was great for the money (heavy though), it was way too loud with the silencer out, even though it had a resonator.

Thats what the mufflers should look like.

 

now ^ THAT looks awesome


i do hear that megans are quite loud...

 

tell them to make a wagon option dang it/

 

looks like 2 fart can

 

heard it in person today. a bit loud even with silencer on. even shady didn't really like it, but he said this is ONLY a prototype and the final product will look muchhh better.

 

yep saw it today, when he left, maybe like with 2-3k rpm that thing was pretty noticeable lol

 

Loud or not, it better make some gain in the hp department.....otherwise, its kinda pointless.....

 

Any time table?

 

LOL

I would like to hear the sound

 

they just said 3-4 weeks or something till the actual one will be done

 

I've yet to hear a exhaust that sounded good on a 4cyl.
They all sound like fart cans.

Def not the sound I'm goin for.

If someone would make a deep rumble, I'd be in.
I don't think that's possible though. Lol

 

Ben Ben put on ws2 mufflers they sounds amazing. Towbacs sounds deep also.

 

Ed if they look like the amazon ones I'll be down to buy. Just want to hear it.

 

i think the sound produced will be different though. the one shady has right now are the n1 style ones. the one from the amazon link is a whole different muffler.

 

Let's hope it's sounds nice. Not of fan of the n1

 

same here. don't really like the n1's haha.

this is gonna be a full catback btw

 

please no fart cans for the CU2!


i hate the greddy for the 3rd gen TL.
big ole fart cans

 

n1 style please god no i had the oe style one for my 350z and it was not loud was a little louder than stock not loud at all. and 4 bangers can sound good my integra with HKS exhaust was deep as hell sucks they wont make one or have a universal oval muffler. i would be down if it was oval mufflers for sure there products are amazing the welds are much better than some exhaust shops that do it for a living gotta love robots.

 

Now tell them to make something for the V6 too

 

You've pretty much hit it dead on. I'd rather hear the stock exhaust than what's out there for 4 cyl. engines. You just can't make a 4 cyl. sound like my ex Mustang GT's! Ain't gonna happen!! Be nice if it could.

I just noticed that Acura changed the exhaust tips on the TSX vs the old trumpet ones they used to have. Thank goodness!! I like rolled tips with a slight angle cut. I looked at mine yesterday in the dealer lot....and thought, whew, I don't have to change them! Don't know when Acura made the design change. I'm sure you guys know.

I had already done some research on what was out there in the style I liked, but, now I won't have to change them. They are good. Each to their own...I know. Some will say they could be larger in diam. but, you have to take a step back, and see what truly looks right and fits in with the style and design of the rear end of your....uhhhhh TSX!!!

 

I doubt you'd gain power with a larger straight through mufflers alone. Header -- sure. Weight reduction is one thing to consider I guess, lighter exhausts are nice.

As far as 4-banger never sounding mean -- my Subaru sounded just plain scary lol. I got sick of the rumble though and switched to an EL header (delayed spool, but gained power) -- considered a sin by most Subaru owners, but wtf do they know lol.

i am interested in the performance aspect......dont want noise.


but I have to pass E test as well as visual inspection. hence nervous of the RV6 downpipe.

is it worth it to have some pipe bent and add some mufflers maybe like the MagnFlow that a few already have......

or just get the magnaflow and leave the pipe.



or what else can be done. I have an AWESOME shop right near here but I just dont want NOISE or DRONE.

or is that just adding COST and no PERFORMANCE REWARD????

 

it would be wonderful is they could make a exhaust that makes it sound like a G37s.
that deep V6 grumble...

 

Stock V6 exhaust is hella quiet... I want moar soundz

 

agreed, i want my exhaust to sound like the g35/g37 but I dont want no fart cans

 

yeah, your I4 will never sound that way.....

mid muffler delete and add a resonator, duh.
mid muffler delete and add a resonator, duh.

 

Mine sounds like a g35 haha (obviously not to a T, but it doesnt sound like a civic....) and i like how mine look

 

you must have a v6.
if not, i want proof and the address to where i can send my money to get one

 

Yeah the V6 is pretty quiet. Removing the resonator hardly made a difference, if any. Sounds pretty nice in the cabin when you floor it though. I would also be interested in something G35ish or slightly deeper without being obnoxiously loud or raspy.

 

^ that titanium tip made me jizz in my pants. Whereas the Megan fart cans made my peenz run and hide.

Regarding the sound if you're looking for a particular sound like 350/370 exhaust tone youre gunna be let down. Our lovely little 4banger motor makes a different noise.

And performance wise: in some cases bolts-ons can actually take away hp. I havent crunched the numbers but I'm assuming there is a optimal back pressure for k24z3...

Can y'all get a video of the Megan exhaust?!?

 

i think our exhaust is pretty free flowing already, not much gains can be made

 

Thats what i was thinkin too. However my best friends dad (he used to work for borla) said gains can typically be seen at common bottle-neck areas in modern cars, where exhaust gases are re-routed (ie header/cats). anyone confirm the exhaust diam in inches?

 

I was looking to get an exhaust, but for no gains....its not worth it...hence why i bought the mufflers...and its funny I have 100s of people that are surprised when i tell them i have the I4, everyone thinks its the 6

 

How does one mistake an I4 for a V6 lol, audio clip please~ XD
