this is my first acura, so im kinda trying to put work into my car. currently, i know my car has stock exhaust, catalytic converter, and exhaust tips. im just looking to change the exhaust tips, but i have no clue what i should be looking for. but for sound, i definitely want something beefy.

 

I did this to my car, it's pretty sick, gives me turbo whistle and annoys my neighbors. I think I gained some HP too.

 

Welcome to the forums OP!

Exhaust tips don't really provide a sound change. If you're looking to make the car louder without spending too much then you should do a resonator delete/replacement. There are a couple different popular options (Dynomax, Magnaflow, Vibrant) but they all provide a bit of a different sound. I'd do some poking around, see what sounds the best to you, and go for that!

If you're looking to pickup a bit of extra power our Jpipe isn't a bad way to go! It removes the third cat and replaces a kink in the OE piping with a nice even bend to help you get the most out of what you already have. They also provide a bit of a sound change (but not nearly as much as an exhaust).

Feel free to send me a PM if you need some help picking out parts. Good luck & happy modding!

 

I just did a resonator replacement today with a 22" magnaflow ( I probably should have gone with a 18" or 14" but I was scared it would make my tl a civic fart can) and a mid muffler delete. It doesn't sound too loud but it's really only noticeable around 2-3k rpm and nothing when coasting . I think i'm going to get magnaflow mufflers next so I get more of a deeper tone and a little more sound when I hit the gas which is the main reason I wanted to mod the exhaust. But I rather have my car be not loud enough and add to it than to spend all that money and replacing the new parts.

 

Op, it's just for decoration. Woop wooooop!!
It'll get you to 350hp also.

 

just do a stage 3 on your car, polish your stock mufflers and call it a day.
for what your looking for that will accomplish it.
also our stock tips are perfect IMO, only thing I would consider replacing them with are the quads off a type-s
