I have a couple of sets of these coming in the next week or so. I have a local guy coming down from Canada for the installation I will get a sound clip from him. The systems are going to retail for $1069.00

Question , I don't have TSX but would like to know what stock and possibly this exhaust uses for main pipe diameter and inlet muffler pipe diameter . I think its 2 1/4" main pipe (after 3rd cat) and 2" inlet muffler ?

Negative on the exhaust.

I just spent 9K on counter tops for my kitchen and spent the last week in Puerto Vallarta so I'm a little short on expendable cash. Not to mention that I think $1100 is a little steep for an exhaust that doesn't show any gains without the SC.

I sent Rob a text back when they were suppose to be in but he never got back to me so I assumed they were delayed etc.

I hear you. Our family minivan a/c compressor packed it in, taking it to the garage tomorrow. $$$$

$1100 for an exhaust that doesn't show any gain is pretty steep, if you want an aggressive look, just installed a new tail pipe like born2blaze in Poland.

Also, if I go down to Lynnwood for the exhaust, I am not sure if the stock one will fit back inside the car for the return trip into Canada.

The exhaust comes apart in pieces so I'm pretty sure it would fit. The only problem would be coming through the border where you would have to declare the CTE exhaust. Duty/taxes etc would probably push it close to $1400. With taxes the exhaust comes to roughly $1200 US which converts to $1265 CAD. So now you are looking at spending close to $1400 CAD to say you have a CTE exhaust.

Hmmm. Not for me. I can go back to Mexico for less cash. Not to mention I'm off to Croatia for three weeks in August.

You are right, $1400 for any exhaust system that offer no performance gain is a bit much. But I would still like to hear a sound clip.

Enjoy your time in Croatia, I went to school with a bunch of Croatians, they are from Dubrovnik region in the south, the Adriatic Sea supposed to be stunning especially in summer time.

Oh, we left him with his grandparents (my wife's parents) for the week. My wife and I were celebrating our 5 year anniversary and we went with another couple who also left their 2 kids behind. It was tough not seeing him for a week as this was the 1st time both of us have been away from him overnight and for this length of time. But it's been a long time since we've had time to ouselves like this.

Dubrovnik is amazingly beautiful. Especially the old town. All of Croatia is incredible.

Yeah welcome back from your trip and congrats on your anniversary. I just took the family to Disney for a week in May. My son was finally old enough to really enjoy it this time (he turned 5 while we were there).


My 15th anniversary is next year, and I would like to leave the kids with her parents and go to Cancun as well.

the chance of this ever coming out will be worse than the chance of one of us wining the lottery.

As for the sound clip I cannot help you there. My car is a different set up from the production run. I have already let everyone here know that there are no HP gains from this exhaust system. To the best of my knowledge no one makes a kit that makes any power.

I still have one question. I am a little lost to why I would drop money on this for NO GAIN. If it is look that you are going for, im sure that someone (defcon...) could mold you up something to look better than what we got for half the price. Maybe I am missing something here, but this is a good bit of money for nothing. Its like paying to get all dressed up, buy that new cologne, buy a girl a bunch of drinks, dancing with her all night, taking her home to find out she is tired and just wants to go to bed.



Not for me.....just saying!
