Putting together a custom exhaust, need help

The whole acura forum has been very helpful and I'm starting to Learn basic things here and there so I need help..
Purchased a Dynomax 24215 Race Bullet Muffler on Amazon, wanna do a stage 3 exhaust & hopefully in a few weeks I wanna purchase a cold air intake but concerning the dynomax what else I need before I go to Mt Muffler shop? Am I good with the 24215 alone and the shop does the rest?

The muffler shop will have everything needed, just a little 1.5 foot pipe and a couple of hangers, good luck and have fun with the new sounding exhaust
(PS this should not cost more than $100 for parts and labor phone shop around)

Got it done today. Sounds nice above 2k like everyone says but I want a louder set up. Any suggestions? Was thinking magnaflow 11365 (2x)?

Try the 11365's for the rears and if its not loud enough try removing the resonator and just leave straight pipes to the Magnaflows.

Just keep in mind your exhaust may be pretty loud already but you only hear a fraction of the actual sound. It's blowing out your tailpipes and away from you as you drive. What you hear and what other people hear is somewhat different.

Either set up a camera to record the sound or let a buddy drive your car by and you can choose what set up you like.

I have the 11365, with mid muffler and resonator removed (stage 4).

I get bad drone driving up a long hill, but driving around town is pretty good loudness.

I have yet to hear it when someone else drives it.

To me, it sounds quiet.
The idle is really quiet.

Might here to do that because inside the car it sounds pretty tame. Also been looking at the 14851. So confused! Lol

check out the magna flow mufflers on the website below in my signature. I love the way magna flow sounds.
