Mr3.2S

I'm about to order this, just wanted to hear from any of you who own this, used to own this, and what you thought. Pros n cons. From what I can tell it sounds nice, and not obnoxious. Power increase, etc. Thank you all!

Far from obnoxious.

Mr3.2S

I did listen to that on you tube, sounded nice, but never the same as hearing it in person, but that does tell me a lot.

i just bought mine 2 weeks ago and wand putem on and the fitment is amazing. and they are no where near obnoxious. they are in all actuality a little too quiet imho.. which is why my next mod is xlr8 cat.

Mr3.2S

thanks, thats good to know. I have the comptech CAI, and I think its a little too quiet, I used to have the AEM, and boy that screamed, I loved the sound. This helps a lot!

i have the injen and it does scream... from the motor though.. not the exhaust... which is what i want loudest. right now they are about equal and i'd like the exhaust to be louder and prevalent when driving normally all the time instead of politely loud at WOT. and i have plenums, ud pulley, headers, tb spacer, cai and it's still quiet...

maybe ct made them quieter, cause mine were made literally a week prior then shipped out immediately .. cause i ordered them while they were in there production run. so i'd call to make sure they even have any left.

I prefer to hear my car talk from its mouth, not its ass.

Mr3.2S

I want a little rumble, nothing crazy. I've had those loud mufflers, in other cars. So this one sounds nice from what I can tell. I have found a few online for under $600.

If you werent on the other side of the country, Id sell you my CT exhaust. Its everything, from the engine back.

Mr3.2S

damn, I know everyone is always so far away...haha

why do you want to sell them ? i thought you liked them

OP if i were you i'd buy them used so the sound wont change over the time because when muffler is new it sounds sometimes a tid different than if it had few thousand miles

Then it should be what you want. It's exactly that. No downside besides cost. I wanted the same & was happy for 6 years.

it's basically a refined cl sound..

and honestly i don't have any drone at all, unless i'm in tip and put it in 5th and then goose it a bit, which u never should so.. no drone imo

jipper

i would ilke to get them also but your around 800miles away

I got something new, the CT axle-backs were on my old 2.5" exhaust setup.

Mr3.2S

appreciate that info man.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I have to agree with this. I loved the CTs and really didnt want to switch, but I needed to open up the exhaust further.

They were nearly silent while cruising, but when you step on the gas they opened up. I drive a lot, so having an annoying exhaust was out of the question.

Here's mine when I had only comptech mufflers and excelerate test pipe.

Here is mine I have a tl though. It is not too loud but it'll get a little louder once it breaks in

Mr3.2S

sounds awesome on your TL!

Stephen00TL

Thanks I love it barely no it's there till you step on it. It'll give you a little more rumble and is not loud at all. I think ignoring to delete the mid muffler and do bigger piping all the way back although the cl above with the xlr8 test pipe sounds good that is also after having it on the car for a few thousand miles and the car was warmed up

jl03CLS

I dont know if you've met miguel at one of the wa meets but he has a blue tl with comptechs on. sounds good. not sure when the next meet is but it'll be a good chance to hear them in person

Mr3.2S

Yeah, so ur in Seattle? I'm in Olympia, we should meet up sometime, talk CL man, let me know, I got family up there, so I'm up there few times a month.

All these videos make me want to get some. =[

Here is my comptech mufflers with the "loud tip" as i called them (2 1/4 x 18" straight pipes slid in to bypass the baffling) Lots of drone but great sounding, takes about 30 sec to install and remove (if you have the straight thru comptech mufflers)

aznboi2424

I have a set of comptech mufflers. They sound great, nice and deep but no rasp or drone. I recommend them. I don't run them anymore simply because I felt they were a bit quiet for me but that's my only gripe about them. I wouldn't hesitate to run them again.

slvrdrgn123

Planning on selling them?

aznboi2424

iTrader: (10)

Not in the foreseeable future. I'll throw them back on when I take my Superdraggers off to polish this summer. I've had at least 3 other offers for them already.

for whatever it's worth. I've been driving my car around for the last 2 days with the windows down now and i like the way it sounds now... i guess it's much quieter through the car in the cabin .. really weird. but yea it's just loud enough for me to be content with my purchase... still quiet but it's definitely noticeably more deep than the OEMs, and mine had holes in them so changing over was less noticeable for me than if they were in normal condition

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Remember that you bought new. Over time they get louder.

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

i don't THINK they've gotten louder tho i could b wrong... it's just now i'm cruising with the windows down and it's evident i have changed the mufflers now... very subtle yet mature at the same time... couldnt b happier to be honest.

fsttyms1

Mine got a little louder but not much. This is mine with just the axle backs

someone likes to over rev their car lol. i'm gonna get some driveby videos of mine soon too... once i get up to my friend's house in the boonies

Darnell Morris

I like the axle back sound

jl03CLS

yup im in between seattle and everett. i'd be trying to goto some of the meets but unfortunately i got swapped back to the weekend shift on my ambulance so no more cruises/meets for me for a while :|

love the CT axel backs. i've had them on for over 6 years and driven every winter, no rust on them

AcuraSpook

Are you really selling off this setup?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Absolutely. Its off the car, waiting for a new home.

I know a few people were interested, but I forget who. I was supposed to send pics out.

AcuraSpook

Well if you could PM me what your price was perhaps I will get in line for interested buyers. I would imagine that the 3.5l would benefit a lot from this setup over stock (with ct headers and hf cat)

mattcl-s

can you give me a link where to get this comptech exhaust much appreciated thank you!
