upgrade/downgrade in 48 hours



It turned me off in a matter of hours so they had to go.
I went with MagnaFLOW,the sound was deep but more annoying than anything.

I think it would've looked a lot better if Acura designed the exhaust system to integrate with the bumper kinda like the new LEXUS

Are you saying you had the MagnaFlow system removed? If so, what did you install in its place?

All that in 48 hours? Was it that annoying? Maybe you should have given it a few more days?

In the end it is your car so only you know what is right for you -

Thank you for being on the bleeding edge of RLX modding. I hope you sort out the exhaust. I can tell you from experience that the J series engine mated to a good exhaust simply sounds even better.

For me if I'm not 100% satisfied then I won't feel right in my gut, if you can understand that..I knew soon as I left that it didn't sit right it with me the owner told me I'm the first to come back and ask for the old system back lol I'm down 250 but money won't have me doing or keeping anything on my ride that I'm not happy wwith it was some custom cutting so he didn't give me a refund but I already have a buyer plus the shop owner said he'll hook whoever I sell them to for a free install

Absolutely agree.

Life is short. If anything doesn't feel right, get it fixed right away.

In my experience, new aftermarket exhaust systems don't sound their best until they've had a chance to burn-in a bit. Some can sound a bit clangy if you know what I mean, and get richer losing that clang when they season a bit from use. Sorry to hear your displeasure. Magnaflows often are a solution where others don't quite cut it.
