So I'm looking into a cat back exhaust. Seems no performance gains, but that aside, which gives the best low, deep tone? Exhausts I've found for our cars are CT-E, Fox Racing, Megan, and Fujitsubo. Seen a few people on here with the CT-E, and it sounds ok. Hard to tell from sound clips, but to me it does have a little ricey sound to it.
Found a clip of someone with Fujitsubo and to me it sounded better, but again, this is just a sound clip.
Anyone heard any of them in person or know of any other options other than custom?

 

megan doesn't make one

 

you might just have to go custom. for the 1st gen, one of my fav. was apex'i. benben has those mufflers.

 

benben's is actual apexi exhaust for the 1st gen tsx so universal might be slightly different.

 

The key to a nice refine deep tone is a straight through muffler with a good amount of steel fiber insulation. Apex'i and Fujitsubos tend to bit a heavier than CT-E and have more insulation for a deeper tone.

 

So fijitsubo's is actually a deeper tone and not just a better soundclip? One from Apex'i wont fit on 2nd gen?

 

Fujitsubo generally makes a quality exhaust system. Along that same line, Apex'i WS systems are more of an OEM+ upgrade which is not meant to be loud and obnoxious. I have the 1st gen TSX Apex'i WS2 mufflers but modded by a muffler shop to fit.

 

I appreciate all of your inputs. Does the fijitsubo sound better (deeper tone) than CT-E?

 

Hard to say.. CT-E may be a bit louder overall but tone wise, I would say they are comparable based on what I can remember.

 

Damn. Hard time trying to make a decision on which one. Guess it will just boil down to price.

 

CT-E makes a great exhaust. Stainless steel, oval mufflers, great fitment, throaty note but very civil while cruising.

We can do $1050 shipped to the cont 48 US on one if you want one.

 

I nearly pulled the trigger on the CT-E a few times. To me, it has an ok tone. Not as good as I would like, but better than stock. Was looking into other options that may have a deeper tone. Seems the fujitsubo does from all the reading I've done, but I can't find anything anywhere on where to purchase it or even the cost.

 

wish more companies would make cat back or even a axel back system i hate the way the mufflers look on this can and sound.
