Exhaust or Intake?
I'm looking to buy one of these. Which would be a better choice to go with? Could you hear an intake on a tsx from outside the car at all? Brand suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I would go intake first. There are several brands...Injen, AEM, K&N, etc. Just do a search for them.

Pending on what intake you get, then yes you can hear it from the outside. If you want a loud intake, I would suggest Injen or k&n. I'm sure there's more out there but those are the only ones I can think of right now. Though, it won't be as noticeable as the exhaust.

Performance --> Intake.
Look --> Exhaust.

Or
Lower Noise --> Intake.
Loud Noise --> Exhaust.


edit: OH! and.. you can control the noise of Intakes, not exhaust.

Intake. I'm running the INJEN and it sounds like a beast even at 3000rpm. Then it comes ALIVE at 6000rpm - redline.

Very noticeable from inside and outside of the car.


Exhaust is over priced for just the "sound" and "muffler" look IMO. Get it later on!

If you after performance i would say go for intake like the others suggested. Looks go for exhaust. As for brand, depends how much you want to spend to be honest. You can just drop a k&n filter n remove resonator to give you the sound. decent priced are options such as AEM, Weapon R etc which get you the gains and sound . And if you have tons of cash sitting at home rotting u get get some mugen or j's racing or spoon bling that IMO just do the same as the average CAI.

just my 2 cents
