Here are some pics of the exhaust system. It is still in development so they may make changes. No power figures yet, they will be doing all the dyno work on my car this week.

 

Sweet

 

nice....

 

what's it sound like?

 

High & tight, I dig it.

For some reason, I really like how the cans are canted a little bit outboard.

If it's like their other stuff, chibianh, it will be deep & quiet & if it doesn't make power, they don't produce it. If it's too loud for one's taste, they usually offer inserts that can be easily & quickly removed.

 

awesomee

 

 

very stock and sleeperish, i like

 

any sound clips? i know video kinda distorts the sound, but a rough idea for those who are interested?

 

been waiting for the Comptech exhaust for a while... Hope the price isn't ridiculous like every other exhaust that's available on the market right now

 

can't wait to see the dyno sheets

 

No dyno's or sound clips yet. I should have both from CT-E towards the end of the week. If they don't get it for me I will post them when I get my car back. I hope for around x-mas.

 

NIIIICE im so siked! looks awesome

 

So when they'll going to sell the icebox and catback?

 

the piping for the driver's side exhaust looks slanted/crooked.

 

I think it's just the angle of the photo shot that doesn't show where both cans are rotated slightly outward. Is that what you mean?

Go look at a 99-02 TL-S or 01-03 CL-S (with stock exhaust) and if you look closely enough I think you'll find the stock cans aren't exactly level either. I forget which one was up or down, but I noticed it on enough of them to remember that.

 

Sorry but I still haven't done a good sound clip yet. The exhaust system that they put on my car is going to be a little different than the one that they are going to produce. With that said I don't know if I should just wait until they start to produce them for a more accurate sound clip.

 

Looks nice and clean hows the sound?

 

how big are the exhaust tips? They look just slightly bigger than the stock ones.

 

damn. TSX guys are getting ALL the CT-E love!!!

I Love CT-E products. I had their exhaust on my 1st 3G TL.... loved it. Best sounding exhaust possible, without going overboard

 

I like how it still looks very stockish.

My concern is the sound, which I'd want no change. I don't want a loud exhaust, something identical in sound to the stock system that can produce more power would be perfect.

 

Comptech Exhausts are NEVER too loud.

perfect audible harmony.

 

agree on the stock look. im not a fan of those people with huge ass exhaust on tehir car..to me it looks kidna outta place.

however i DO want some nice sound out of it though, not too loud but audiable.

 

when is this coming out?

 

The exhaust should be out in about a month to two max. The exhaust tips are only 4 inch. The factory exhaust tips are a little over 3 inch. There is not a hugh difference looking at a stock tsx compaired to mine. I still don't have an accurate sound clip as mine is not silenced as the production model will be.

 

How much to ship to Victoria. I suppose I could always pick it up when I come down in June and ship my factory one back. That way I would be shipping a less expensive used part.

 

any gains on HP dept at all?

 

The exhaust made no horsepower gain by itself. It made an 8 whp with my supercharger. They tried every differnt way possible with no luck. I can't imagine that any exhaust system will make any power on this car.

 

It's pretty normal for a na car not to make any additional HP with a cat back. I've always been of the mind that if you buy an exhaust for a car that is na it's for the sound and sound alone.

 

that and the stock exhaust already has a 3 inch down pipe, and is designed very well. just look at it. lol

 

Very nice, curious also to hear the sound

 

our exhaust is pretty free flowing already in comparison to the 1G 04-05, now those were pretty restricted

 

So when does someone come out with a raceheader to match?

 

Never

 

Can't wait to see the price and sound of this

 

Meaning... that we will never see an aftermarket header for our TSX-09 ? I didn't necessarily mean from CT... but say Vibrant, BC, or other leading manufacturers.

 

There is no header on '09 and up TSX's

 

Really...I would have thought that it least had some type of a shorty exhaust manifold. I guess we learn something every day. Ty for clearing that up. Guess that leaves me to keeping an eye on the CT catback.

 

What you would consider a exhaust manifold/header is now integrated into the head. This was done to place cat close to head for fast pre-heat/warm up . Only thing you could do is make free flowing down pipe/cat but there not a lot of room there . Here a pic of down-pipe/cat which at top bolts to head . http://www.acurapartswarehouse.com/e...converter.html

 

Hmm.. sounds like there, as stated earlier, no chance anything will be done in that area. Anyone have some sound-bytes of the new CT catback ?
