I'm going to be purchasing a new exhaust sometime in the somewhat near future. I'm interested in both of these exhausts. I'm somewhat confused, though because on team-integra.net, the tanabe hyper is listed as having a chambered muffler, even though everyone always says it's straight through. Would the fact that the piping is slightly larger on the Tanabe (60mm vs. 2 1/4in) make them about the same since the comptech is not chambered? Also if anyone has pics of either exhaust, please post them (they're not working on any of the archived posts). Thanks in advance.

 

here is the comptech setup...................

 

comptech has my vote But it also depends on what you are going to do to your car in the future. Comptech is only 2.25 so if you plan on gaining big power get something bigger.. 2.5 at least.

 

agreed, however if you want to do just the moderate bolt ons and stuff the 2.25 is just fine. And it's not as loud as the 2.5" will be. You'll be able to have a normal conversation in your car.

 

Keep the comments/pics coming, everyone! Does anyone know for sure if the Hyper is straight through or chambered? I don't plan on getting too crazy with my car (not immediately,anyway). Just bolt-ons for the most part. I might eventually do mild cams (ITR, etc.), but I haven't decided yet.

 

If you are only going to be mildly modified the 2.25'' Comptech will be perfect.

 

Tanabe hyper med.

 

i go for Tanabe as well, they are nice!

 

I'd go for the comptech, plus they look more stock

 

looks kind of familiar




Another vote for comptech. This is the best sounding exhaust I've ever heard on an honda.

I've had people tell me that about my comptech. Although I have the stock cat and header. Don't know how much of a difference that will eventually make the sound change.
