Default Need final comments before i buy this exaust system.

http://www.performancecenter.c...92836

Im going to purchase this system right here. I want to double check and make sure this will fit my 2000 Accord LX 4D. I also wanna make sure that this exhaust makes a loud low tone noise but legal loud. The only reason I ask this, is because I thought you don't get that kind of sound unless the muffler has a wide mouth, but most of the people are reccomending this system.

i had that same exhaust on my 90 accord and it was not too loud, but louder than some out there. it was very deep and it sounded perfect. if it fits ur car (im not too sure) then you will LOVE it. its worth every penny and then some

very good quality system, but too loud for my taste.

you do realize that link is for a ford focus exhaust, which will obviously not fit your accord

You guys think I can assemble this bad boy myself? I got a price quote for how much it would be, and I didn't like it!: (

just get a'pexi world sport....

you arent going to get much of a gain from any exhaust on the stock accord motor.

why not go for the quiet quality? (not to say that thermal isn't quality)

All you need are a few sockets (probably 12/14 mm), a socket wrench, two jackstands, a jack, and of course, some PB blaster to loosen up those bolts.

Shouldn't take you more than an hour.

Is it in the manual or anything, so I know how big my pipes are so I don't buy this catback and it doesn't even fit..

the last link you provided was for a prelude sh. As long as the site says the catback will fit on your car, it usually will fit .

I'd say just get a Haynes manual from a car parts store. The install isnt too involved.
