Default 2003 honda accord v6 exhaust

Hi,

I am trying to figure out what the best exhaust for my 03 accord (coupe) ex v6 engine is. I am willing to drop $600 (give or take a few bucks). Any suggestions??

First off, nice car. I also own a 2003 Accord 6-6 in silver, with the HFP aero kit

What are your plans for the car? If you don't plan on modding it heavily at all, I would suggest getting either the Borla or Magnaflow catback. Both are right around $6-700 shipped, and sound decent, although in my personal opinion the Borla looks and sounds better, and is slightly cheaper.

Thanks bro

I want to "complete" my car BEFORE the summer. My goal is new rims, and another 15 hp (give or take) and paint my roof black.

So far i only added rv6 precat delete. I basically want a little more kick (not trying to hit 300 hp but 250-260 would be good). I was thinking of adding a AEM v2 intake (suggested by you ironically lol). I will look into Borlo vs Magnaflow.

Any other suggestions would be great

BTw live in NY soooooooo everything has to be street legal sadly

I believe Borla is 50 state legal, and it's also by far the quietest aftermarket catback exhaust for the Accord. Yes, the AEM V2 is pretty much the best intake on the market. You can also put on an older version of the RV6 or XLR8 J-pipe, if you still want that third converter on (replacing it gives next to no horsepower anyway). You can find them for dirt cheap from guys on v6p.net who are trying to get rid of their after replacing it with the new version of either J-pipe That all should net you at least 250 hp, probably over 260.

I'll look for your advice in the future as well, in the works of picking up an 03 6-6 Black on Black with the HFP kit also.

Anything specific I should look for?

Thanks in advance!
