Comptech Catback Exhaust
Does anyone have an 2004 or 2005 Acura TL with COMPTECH CATBACK (STAINLESS) exhaust installed and happen to have a SOUND CLIP that they might wan to share? I'm thinking about getting it but would like to know how loud it would be.
thanks
thanks

Does this Catback exhaust VOIDs out the warranty on the car? And also, is the noise really loud only when you floor it or is it very loud even when driving regular?
Thanks.

Hello:
The installation of the Comptech Cat Back does not void the Acura Warranty on the car. However I would have to think the warranty on the Cat Back itself is a Comptech issue.
As for the sound, it is LOUDER than the original cat back.... this sound is heard even when in cruise control. It is a low pitch sound that certainly is able to be heard. At about 2500RPM it is a little louder than I would like. I'm 55 so if I have the radio on I have to have it a level that masks the cat back sound.
The folks at Comptech saved my original cat back "in case I would want it back". I will let them know they can dump it...
I will keep the Comptech Cat Back...

Is there any way you can record the sound clip of the catback exhaust and post it on these forums...so I can get an idea of its loudness?
Also, do you think its loud enough to be obnoxious sometimes?
Thanks Alot!

Hello:
Many Acura Dealers will install Comptech products. I would check in your area. For me the sound is fine.. It is louder than the original cat back, but that's what I wanted..
I'm not sure how to record a sound ship and then how to post it.. I took some pictures of the Comptech install and have not fully figured out how to post them. There are some pictures of the meet Saturday in the Bay Area of SFO. There is 1 pictures on that post that shows my car with the Cat Back...
Thanks,
Tim
