Look at what just came in the mail.

Most of you all won't think this is worth it but I wanted a classy look without the fartcan sound.

Acura TSX muffler (I have the trim piece elsewhere). Now just have to get a shop to weld it up.

Re: Look at what just came in the mail.

When you buy the oem lip kit for the tsx, they give you two larger (larger than stock) chrome exhaust tips so the exhaust fills the gap better. You might wanna think about it after you get this on if it doesnt seem to fill up the exhaust intent in the bumper, or if you want it to look a little bigger.

Re: Look at what just came in the mail.

Thanks triz. Well that's the look I was going for. I have the chrome tip for the TSX too.

I wanted a tip to be closer to the muffler just like TSX oem.

I already tried doing a tip on our stock mufflers and it looks too much like a ***** since the piping after the muffler is so long. haha

And like I said originally, I want little to no sound just like OEM.

That's cool I guess... if you like it then good. If it were me, I would have done something a little different.

Yes do that please so i will have some clue as to what the **** you are talking about.
Are you saying the TSX makes more power because of its muffler or that this TSX muffler is going to free up more power?
