blah blah...i know we wont get gains..but anyone know what happened to ATLP having some interesting in making an exhaust for our car? i saw something sometime ago on the "other" tsx forum

 

theres no interest in anyone making anything for our car

nobody gives a fuck

find a blowtorch and start making your own exhaust

/endrant

 

anyway even if ATLP did make an exhaust it would have no performance gains...

if it did get made, it would have very few buyers because it would be expensive, and it would be very expensive because very few people would be buying.

i would LIKE to see a vendor set us up with a decently priced cat back (2 universals fitted to out car with a tiny bit of piping so that we can install it easily)

 

not gonna happen

 

brought it up cause im itching to get an exhaust!?! lol
problem is im looking for a deep sound but i think that might be impossible with the i4 engine but i could be wrong. since we arent getting performance gain i would pay top dollar if i can get a nice sound lol

 

the other guys HKS exhaust sounded pretty baller

 

yea im waiting for an update on the video since it was distorted

 

I know I would rather my engine perform like my exhaust sounds rather than an exhaust that sounds legit and engine that can't match...

 

exhaust = super baller g37 exhaust sounds!!!
engine = slow granny 0-60 in 7.8 seconds!!!!



AWW YEEEE

 

ATLP

Attempted, Tried, Lost, Phail

I would like an exhaust after my rims and drop come next summer but having an auto car tells me the drone would drive me insane. Apexi W/S or Tanabe Super Medallion or 5Zigen Fireball would be my top 3 choices for universal cans. Whats stock piping? 2.25' or 2.50"? Those 3 list their inlet sizes in mm tho which..confuses me lol.

 

I don't think I could handle an exhaust with a loud drone for everyday driving....it would get annoying to me IMO. I would, however, love some bigger tips to fill my bumper a little better!

 

How are you going to get drone on the auto? Its at like 2k rpms at 70mph. If an exhaust drones at that rpm, it's not a good exhaust.

 

ok so if i were to go with the magnaflow 14832 mufflers would it be a benefit to also change the resonator? doesnt look like we have a mid muffler

 

Run 1 cat, delete all the rest til the mufflers, try to run the straightest pipes and voila

ATLP

Another TSX Lost Project

 

^ recipe for drone?

downpipe + glasspack resonator + 2 aggressive mufflers instead? keep pretty much all stock piping

 

i think tsxronald has a straight through setup, but he lies a ton and we have no proof his car exists

get your ass in here ron

 

downpipe would replace cat converter right? i was thinking
stock cat+glasspack resonator+ 2 magnaflows on stock piping

 

uh yeah, downpipe would replace 2nd cat converter, and id go with your plan, glasspack + 2 magnas will make a cheap/good exhaust, the downpipe really isnt necessary.


It is unnecessary, but if you want, while you are getting all your exhaust shit done, just tell them to replace the 2nd cat with a straight pipe, and i bet they will only charge you like 50 bucks for it and it wont be hard for them to do either. Just a thought... idk how emissions are in FL.

 

i know that wont pass emission in cali haha.

isnt a high flow pre cat coming out?

 

Just gut your converter. 4 bolts, it takes 10 minutes. just get a huge drill bit or big screwdriver or hammer. I did that to mine the same day I bought it (2011 TSX). No one knows, and it doesn't do any harm.

 

more info on that pls^

@ed, yeah, there will be a HFPC, it will also cost quite a pretty penny.

 

Info on gutting your secondary cat? Oops, it's 6 bolts. 14mm. Just take the cat out, put it in a vise or secure it on a bench. Take large drill bit, use a power drill and basically hollow it out. All the material will come out both ends. It gets messy, so have the cat on a garbage bad or something. I know a lot of people take the actual material and melt it down somehow. There's platinum, palladuim and a few other semi valuable metals.

You'll definatly notice more throttle response doing this. I have a gutted secondary cat and no mid muffler, and I noticed a slight difference.

 

So with the glass pack will the sound be lower than tjay?

 

Florida emissions!?!?!?

Back in my Stang-banger days, (20 years ago) I could swap out my catalyst H pipe, get sniffed, remove it and be back on the road in an hour.

They repealed emissions tests because "We aren't catching the people the law was designed for, we're just irritating everyone else."

 

i wish skunk2 made an exhaust system for our tsx... it sounds so sexy on the 1g tsx

 

http://www.jdmultimate.com/product/i-56870.aspx

there was a guy on tsx club who modified a 1g tsx skunk exhaust to fit a 1G... said it required alotta fab work.

again my best advice would be to grab 2 skunk universals

 

So im looking to get some mufflers for christmas, should i get Skunk2? Magnaflow? HKS? any recommendations?

 

im in the same boat. im leaning towards magnaflows since i havent heard or seen much of anything from the other manuf.

 

Being that I reached between my legs a felt something there that others lack. I might just go and remove my second cat and mid muffler sometime this week. Tired of all the what ifs and not enough take charge in the 2 g tsx community. Doing mods is a trial and error thing just takes some balls. People need to be more creative. I do mods to all my cars the same regardless of who sells parts or If I have to rig something up myself.

 

^Speech moment

Like King Leonidas in 300 kinda speech moment

 

Alrighty im going to go out on a limb and be different then, f-magnaflows ill think of something else haha

 

i just read that thread... I wish they would just make a system for ours soon!

 

maybe apexi ? their stuff for 1st gen sounds the best IMO. not too loud and ricy, sounds subtle yet moderately aggressive when you step on it. it fits the car rather than being loud with no power

Is that the finished exhaust of a 1g TSX? Sounds deep or it's just recording itself

1 of these guys really needs to do an in cabin sound clip.

 

I like the way apexi mufflers sound but me and my brother both had bad experiences with them. mine started rusting out the first winter less then 6 months after I got the catback. My brothers rusted and fully seperated inside of the muffler. Doesnt comptech have universals. The one my brother had on his integra sounded real nice and never rusted out. Skunk 2 mufflers are loud. I had a skunk 2 exhaust on my si and I felt like my ears were bleeding after a long drive.

 

yea comptech has universals.

thanks for the insight a real shame with their quality

 

I read a couple reviews on the Apexi WS2 a little pricey....but the sound it makes is really nice...thinking about that or maybe Tanabe Hyper Medalion sounds nice too....hopefully christmas will give me the funds

 

borla?
