Is there any point in getting a cold air intake without an exhaust system? Will it do anything?

 

 

Your car comes with an exhaust system. LOL

I'm a dick.

 

lol

 

i am guessing he means aftermarket

since theres not much aftermarket exhaust out now..everyone only has a intake w/o exhaust and they said theres some difference in performance.

 

 

I just bought an intake and I have just been reading that it won't do much unless I get an aftermarket exhaust. I'm just getting into cars and I just want some help. I just want a little advice on what to do.

 

I just don't want to have to spend all that money. I just had someone tell me that "it won't do much and there is no point".

 

The TSX oem exhaust system is pretty good. A catback exhaust will do little to nothing for the TSX. An intake will increase throttle response and even add some power to the wheels. I'm not sure who was giving you this information because although it may be true for many cars, it is simply not true for the TSX.

 

i think our exhaust system is already pretty free flowing. Personally, going from the stock airbox to the Ice box, there was a noticeable gain in terms of power and throttle response. Not huge, but noticeable.

 

Ok thanks guys That makes me feel so much better!

 

and it sounds awesome as shit

 

haha idk about that, my friend has a g37-s and that stock exhaust soudns awesome. but of course its a totally different car with v6 power

 

G35/37's sound great stock! our TSXs' on the other hand, just sound like air being forced out of a pipe lol

 

haha i knoww, i want their exhaust sounds

 

Will it be a really noticable sound?

 

I was saying the intake sounds awesome as shit. not the exhaust. everyone loves the G35 exhaust.

 

if you want a loud engine sound, opt for a K&N, takeda or injen intake. From what I've read the icebox is more for performance oriented individuals, and even then the performance gains are not enough to make our car "fast." lol
