just want some personal opinions on these exhausts... i currently have a tanabe g power, but its time for something different... main reason being i'm tired of looking at that big fat fart can tip and want somethign quieter, although it sounds sweet as hell. i think i'm leaning more towards the apex ws exhaust right now... anyone know where i can get the best deal? i remember ppl buying the full catback for like $380 shipped or something

 

hey bud. let me help ya out.. i can get you a full mandrel bent catback in 2.5 or 3". here is a link to my first post on it. email me if you have any more questions

ive sold to several on HT. Even Exaccord has ordered and installed the kit. Others will agree this is a great bend and setup.

I say go with Mike.

 

how long will you be offering these?

 

this is a normal account of mine, i ll be offering them as long as i have an open account with them. Prices will float plus minus 20 bucks or so, depending on specials and time frame. I can guarentee that it wont ever be $380 like Apexi and other dealers. Available is Aluminzied and Stainless Steel. full kit with or without muffler. Resonators and test pipes also. Email me for current pricing and more picutres. Thanks

MIKE

i havent put my muffler on yet tho, damn thermel hasnt even sent it yet. bastards

 

The Apexi WS is nice for a quiet tone, but if you plan on going H22 at some point go for something with better high end power gains. I would suggest going custom or go for a Thermal cat-back.

 

i hope you have aftermarket piping to go along with that tizzzight muffler

 

is the thermal exhaust really that loud???
i did a search and all the integra guys were complaining about their thermal exhaust being too loud. what size is the thermal for accords? 2.25" or 2.5"? seems like most of the integ guys are using 3"

 

HE DOES HE has some of the best out there

 

why the hell would i just put a muffler?
i have heard thermel cat-backs on both a b16 and an h22... niether were very loud. they have a very deep tone. mine will probably be louder than just a thermel cat-back tho, because im using not using a cat. they probably list sizes on there site at http://www.thermelrd.com actually i just looked and they dont list any sizes, email em and grill em.

i got my apex ws cat-back for 389.25 shipped. Sounds great, fits fine except for the b pipe sorta hits the heat shield. Nothing hard to fix though. The site i got it at is http://www.aieonline.com . E-mail him and tell him you heard of him from honda-tech forums and he should bring the price down a little. Well thats what i did and thats what the person that i saw the site listed on said.

 

well as we all know, i could do a full mandrel bent catback shipped for cheaper than that with muffler


email me for more details

 

I have a thermal on my Accord. In "race" configuration, sans cat and 2.5" collector pipe, the exhaust note can be a bit loud when above 5,000rpm. It's a BEAUTIFULLY deep tone. Not buzzy. Best exhaust I've ever had! Excellent quality. I bought it because I wanted dual tips instead of a a large single tip.

 

so it isn't too loud when below 5k? how about when you're driving on the fwy??
yeah... thats the same reason why i wanna get rid of my tanabe g power... it sounds great and all, but i want something a bit more subtle looking

 

just a thought...
what if i were to chop off my g power muffler and weld on a different muffler to my tanabe piping? yay or nay?

and kteller8, how much for 2.25" piping w/o muffler?
