ahhh hope this thing goes through. if it'll be pretty much the same, then there would be gains for sure. if based on that, XLR8 catback > CTE catback.

Stylinhonda

Ah....Not really digging the mufflers on that TL exhaust. May just have to wait and see when it comes out.

jeroplex

yup we just have to sit and wait...hopefully it works out

hi guys...ive decided to not go thru with this. the shop wanted the funds up front and that is not something im willing to do. i didnt think he needed the money up front. he wanted 500-600 for the cat back and another 175-200 for the secondary cat delete.

jeroplex

damn thats too bad. well looks like im back to CTE lol

FlipRizzi

sighhhhhhh

ya'll were NOT gonna get 10 people to line up for this. Im still shocked the ct-e exhaust even exists to be frank. Im sure XLR8 wouldve have definitely made it, but i really doubt the demand from us would have been there for this type of exhaust system on an i4

Stylinhonda

I know at least 10 people want an exhaust. Yet some (myself) are not willing to give money up front for a product I have not seen or heard. Who wan'ts to pay for something they may not even like in the end?

PyroDave

ask the people who invested in the HeelToe grill

then again, this is a GRAND. like $1000. like ALOT OF MONEY

KillerG

Dont mean to be a dick but i dont think we would be able to round up 10 buyers for a thousand dollar exhaust. Even if it was made already, and good. A grand is alot of money for a minimal gains mod like this.

Now if you someone made an axleback for like 500, like the german fox system, yes, I can see 10 people maybe getting together.

Even with the CT-E system out and about we have like, 2 people with it? maybe 3 more that arent on the forums? Rob would know but from the get-go i was skeptical this would ever get off the ground :x

ed_423

good point, why dont we have any axleback systems?

ed_423

let me rephrase, why don't we have one in the state?

ed_423

excuse my noobness, but isnt axle back just mufflers with a straight pipe or something? so cant we just do a custom one for like 400 bucks?

KillerG

In another thread.

Thats similar to the ATLP that I have on my AWD. That does sound pretty sweet!

Stylinhonda

Maybe I'm just use to the S2000 and Lexus forum, but $1,000 for a nice cat back with TWO mufflers is pretty standard. Yes their usually a well known brand.

I just don't really dig the look of the CT. I had their Ice Box on my S2000 and was not loving the quality and fitment of the CF.

I've tried to ask Greddy to make a SE for our car, but they said they have no plans so far. It's a very nice looking, quiet exhaust. I've been thinking of buying one and cutting it up, but it will be pretty $$$ after buying a new one and then having a shop make it work.

KillerG

I hear you. Im on clublexus sometimes and the IS has a huge crowd, so its easy to rally support for almost anything, and the S2k had appreciable gains to reap, and the userbase was performance oriented given then vehicle, so i can definitely see alot of support for this type of exhaust

Even on the TL, the atlp exhaust looks and sounds magnificent, but that car has a v6 and has some more power to give back, these cars just dont

Get a greddy universalll

Stylinhonda

Yeah I hear ya.

ed_423

but the is250 puts out around the same power as us, they get a much bigger crowd and much more mods options :/ wish i've gotten an is250 instead lol

TSXy Luster

but then you'd be complaining like every BMW driver out there that everyone has the same car as them...

when young pornstars started buying them, that's when you know it's become common.

KillerG

is250 also has RWD and a V6 =/

suros10

But over ride quality, I will take the TSX anyday.
