Some Exhaust Questions, Please - Honda Prelude Forum

MonStar · 06-13-2003, 10:11 AM

I REALLY like the look of the 3.2 TL dual exhaust.

I was wondering if this was possible to get on the Prelude?

I want to keep it very very quiet though. Not loud at all.

Is this possible?

Dont you think thats kind of a waste of money? You wont see any gains, and the modifying will be a pain probably

i dunno

MugenPoweredLude · 06-13-2003, 11:05 AM

either way hes still gonna have a restrictive exhaust on there

do you think everything is a waste of $. First the JDM's and now this

khilgers · 06-13-2003, 11:13 AM

I'm sure it can be done but is it worth the $ is up to you. It would probably be a little cheaper by just buying a catback

MonStar · 06-13-2003, 11:43 AM

But wont a catback be very loud? I want the TL tips first of all, I am guessing that I can order them?

HOW can this be done, thanks guys.

khilgers · 06-13-2003, 11:44 AM

not all catbacks are LOUD. From what i've heard the apex'i ws is realllly quiet.

MonStar · 06-13-2003, 11:47 AM

I want something that sounds like stock.

So... catback is an option?

MonStar · 06-13-2003, 12:07 PM

I am guessing that I would need what, two 3.2 TL mufflers and tips, correct?

Specialque · 06-13-2003, 12:27 PM

the tanabe hyper medalion is real quiet

khilgers · 06-13-2003, 12:30 PM

I thought most of the tanabe exhausts were loud

If your spending that much money for something that has no function, and hardley and look value, then yes I think its a waste of money.

Does everyone have to have the same view and opinion you do? No, get over it

MugenPoweredLude · 06-13-2003, 12:42 PM

monstar, what do u want? performance or just looks???
if looks, go ahead and get them,
if performance get a catback

well i do like the JDM fogs, at the time of me saying it was a waste of money was because they were very expensive...
now that i can get them for cheap i wouldnt mind buying them....

I was referring to khilgers who had an arsehole comment because I dont think JDM Fogs are worth $300 (though I do think they look nice), and now I dont think this mod is worth spending money on.

MugenPoweredLude · 06-13-2003, 12:54 PM

yea i mis read the posts...thats why i edited mine...hehe....i agree with you...back then the fogs were a lil too much, now theyre a lil cheaper id probally buy them but i plan on going with an octane front, and the exhaust is just a rediculous idea....hes better off getting a catback, but if he wants what he wants, then let him get it, its his money,

btw, why is your sig pics so blurry??? they were fine a couple days ago

my sig was 30kb instead of 20kb, so the nazi mods wanted me to change it... im going to be taking some new pics soon anyways, and ill have a new sig

MugenPoweredLude · 06-13-2003, 01:09 PM

oh ok....lol

well at least theyre not like h-t.com mods.....they lock **** up left and right and reduce your percentage if you make a stupid post(which none of mine were stupid)and whole bunch of other things....

i think PO mods are the best(and i mean it)

MonStar · 06-13-2003, 02:26 PM

Okay guys just talked to a place that said they would do my dual exhaust for around $200 or so.

Thats not bad at all. They said they would make it quiet but I need my own tips.

Anyone know where I can find CHEAP Acura 3.2 TL-S exhaust tips? Please help, thanks.

DEFCONShupaLude · 06-13-2003, 02:32 PM

tl-s boards.

i say get the apexi ws.

MonStar · 06-14-2003, 08:13 AM

TL-S boards? Huh?

Bottom line, went to a few exhaust places. And for a 5th gen. dual exhaust really isnt the best idea no matter what. Because of the space on the driver side.

So there is nothing that I like more than the dual tips on one side.

The only other thing that I would consider is the dual TL tips, and if that cant be done, f*ck it.

khilgers · 06-14-2003, 10:11 AM

how about the thermal w/ dual tips?

jc836 · 06-14-2003, 01:25 PM

Personally, go with what makes you happy. However the 5th gen does NOT have enough room on the driver's side for a muffler and tips. ANother thing-the flow rates will be affected. I have the Thermal and swear by it. Some say it is louder than stock and indeed it is-but it looks stock and fits a 5th gen the right way.
If you decide to go ahead-get some tubing bent up and weld a pair of tips on it and dummy it under the car somewhere. This will do nothing for performance, but will satisfy your desires.

MugenPoweredLude · 06-14-2003, 02:44 PM

i think a dummy exhaust would look dumb, especially in the winter when one muffler is putting out steam and the others not...lol

MonStar · 06-14-2003, 06:22 PM

A thermal with dual tips, can someone give me a link to this?

How much $ are we talking? And what kind of gains will I get from this? And I dont like the sound of loud exhausts AT ALL.

sandiegan · 06-15-2003, 12:21 AM

if you want quiet, just get some of those shiny prelude exhaust tips from handa accessories

MonStar · 06-15-2003, 02:08 AM

I will, actually. Didnt even realize that they had them in stainless steel, lol.
