what exhaust system would you recommend

[lonerider]

hi kinda new as this, but last week my friend rear ended my car, and bended my whole exhaust system. so now i am thinking about replacing it with an aftermarket one. so what am i asking is which exhaust system give you the most power gain(i dont really care about sound) and by the way i have a 5AT if that makes any differents.

[moda_way]

I'm not sure that any cat back will give you gains. Try a search, but everything I've seen shows that the header and cat are the most restrictive parts of the car. You'd be better to get an aftermarket stainless steel though b/c they are only $200-300 more than replacing the stock one.

I agree; I've seen no dyno results that show any significant gain from any of the aftermarket choices for the TSX.

Since you have to replace it anyway, you need to ask yourself if you want more sound. The Comptech exhaust, for example, looks really sweet, but adds more sound then some people have been looking for......

I'm kinda looking for that though, some I'm leaning Comptech.....

:agree: + 1. Unless you are considering getting additional mods later on, you will see very little of a performance gain. The exhaust is more for people who want sound.

[lonerider]

well i have a injen cai and the future mods are some kind of headers, cat, hondata (when it comes out), and saving money on the side, for the s/c(when it comes out)and ground

Don't get confused with a twin muffler output setup and a single muffler output setup. One has little to no power gains while the other is entirely designed for power extraction.

[lonerider]

so which one is made for power extraction?

and here is what i am looking at the spoon and jsracing exhaust, are these going to give me more power gain then comptech, evo,etc?

[afici0nad0]

i'd take a single side exhaust...

Power House Amuse bar none. Still waiting for someone to have this setup for a TSX.

[lonerider]

wow that look really nice. cost around the same as the jsracing one. i wonder how much gain can you get out of it. so i was doing some search is it true that a single outlet give out more gain than double outlet?

[Noel]

Yes, all Single N1 catback exhaust systems will modestly net you approximately 8 ~ 10 bhp along with fairly extensive weight reduction. Listing from best and most expensive downwards.

- Amuse R1 Titan (Single Not Dual) | Full titanium catback, singe muffler output.
- J's Racing N1 | Full titanium catback, single muffler output.
- Feel's Honda Twin Cam N1 | Full stainless catback, single muffler output.
- 5Zigen N1 | Stainless catback with titanium muffler tip, single muffler output.
