I'm not sure why it's not showing here is another one




Also not much support when it comes to after market exhaust,so I decided to go with something different.I've these on my old accord and they sound super amazing,they were slightly louder then my oem exhaust which is exactly what I'm looking for.I ended up getting a set of Apexi World Sport 2 exhaust.Stay tuned......

DAMN! Ballin for days...

Did you get the entire catback? Axleback? Or just the mufflers? I'm pretty sure APEXi doesn't make this for the CU2

I wish Apexi could make a catback system for the CU2 I'd be one the first to get it.One of the quietest mufflers out there if not the quietest,I had the full catback on my accord and I loved it,oem sound at idle but it had a nice growl when you step on it.Unfortunately these are just the mufflers so I will get a custom axleback using them.

That's awesome! Where'd you pick them up and for how much? Been looking for a while now...

Might be a better and cheaper option than going full catback on the CU2.

So how much is lower & what does the harness makes work? My biggest concern regardless of price paid is how much of that lamp does one gets to work??? Hooking it up without cutting my harness is the least of my problem.

hm I'm guessing you're gonna have to get custom piping done up to the Y pipe split?

The WS2s sound great on the CL7/9s. They're gonna sound great on your car!

Yea that looks totally different than my metra version. I'm sure the fitment of that one is better also but I couldn't justify $250 vs $35 lol

I wanted to get the Metra also until I saw a couple people complaining about fitment and also the hazard button getting stock.

WOW savclaude I literally spent the last few hours going through your entire thread for the first time and you and your car are both amazing!!! I must say that after seeing your build you value quality and your car is seamlesssss! Duuuuuuude once the performance end of my build is satisfied my paint will be very tired and I would love a SCS (SavClaudeSignature) body and paint job all around as I do NOT plan on selling my car anytime soon and from what I've seen in these last 25 pages and seeing more orange peel in my factory cbp paint I would be disappointed with any less than your cars finish, like holy chit dude you spraying the clear on that cl blew my fucking mind away. Also so funny that I have been lurking the Azine forums mainly in the performance section of the 2g threads and I have learned quite a bit in this "photograph" thread that people just assume is in the performance section and is not. I do see myself leaning more function and performance over form but your car sir has to be one of the most well balanced between form/function and probably the only "stanced" tsx that I am absolutely in love with now.

I MUST see this car in person.. I got to get around to going to one of these "meets" that have been numerously mentioned in this thread lol! We can talk body and paint work pricing then

Gotta get something serious for us Orlando/CFL guys if there are many to set a Miami/orlando meet here in CFL or setup an official turnpike caravan down to SFL for one of their meets.. As many CU2's as possible!! As long as you bring your car out savclaude I would be happy

I'm in that same boat with you.. My tech package 6spd was bought on a slight impulse before I did my research just bcuz I couldn't believe I found a black on black on black 2009 6spd/tech locally for sale with extremely low miles.. If I knew what I know now I would have stayed on the hunt for a base 6spd or 6spd/se package that I don't even know existed at the time (assumed all se's came auto). This els system is some super integrated booboo. I hate the structure of the system.. Makes it nearly impossible to upgrade.. And I'm not mentally inclined to try and upgrade the els amp like some brave souls have done..

aiight guys I've been thinking about a slight change with the wheels,I do like they way they are now(clean and simple)but I wanted something more aggressive.I think they would look killer.

I was thinking about painting the faces and lips gloss black and keep the bolts chrome or gold plated and leaving the HRE centers untouched.

I know it's my call,should I go for it or not?
