I am planning on getting the comptech exhaust with in the next couple days... so i need reviews quick!!! just... if you have comptech exhaust... just tell me what you think about it... :rolleye2:
Hey fly, are you going to be getting a CAI anytime?flyvtec said:It is the best sounding exhaust from idle to redline that I've heard with the stock intake.
Wassup kramer...the CAI isn't a high priority for me right now. I'm curious to see what kind of dyno numbers I get with the Comptech exhaust before I move on to the engine mods. If anything...I'm saving $$$$ for the supercharger if and when it comes out!kramer2k said:Hey fly, are you going to be getting a CAI anytime?
Yeah, that was my first mod. It built some confidence having been my first ever mod to a car. Previous cars were pieces of SHAT. I assumed a CAI was the first mod most people do, but not you and your clean ass ride. Keep it up though, yours is one of my personal favorites. :up2:flyvtec said:Wassup kramer...the CAI isn't a high priority for me right now.

Do you have a CAI in your ride?

I paid $1100 including install. Yup...we are talking high end exhaust here!macboi said:how much is it?
wow nice numbers =) That's great!flyvtec said:Thanks for the props man!
Well...I got my baseline dyno done today at JBA Racing Performance Center in San Diego. Did 2 runs using Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer, 4th gear, no fans, 57 deg F, 91 octane...
1st run (TCS ON):
216.4 whp @ 6524 rpms
184.0 trq @ 3987 rpms
2nd run (TCS ON):
216.8 whp @6452 rpms
187.0 trq @ 3987 rpms
According to the dyno tech, there is a 17% parasitic loss to the wheels for the 6 speeds...so he told me that my flywheel hp (fwhp) is:
216/.83 = 260 fwhp
187/.83 = 225 trq (do you use the same denominator for torque?)
Stock numbers advertised are 240 hp/212 tq for the V6.
Bottom line? With the dyno used above, this proves that the Comptech exhaust not only sounds good but also gives our cars a decent gain in power.
Now that I have a baseline number to work with...should I get the Injen RD or AEM V2 CAI? Or wait for the Comptech S/C?
I believe the most expensive one I have seenflyvtec said:I paid $1100 including install. Yup...we are talking high end exhaust here!

These are MP4 vids. I hope you can open them.
They look fine to me. Why would you want to mess with the exhaust in the first place? If it performs and sounds as good as you claim, then why would you want to extend the tips 3 inches just for looks? All thats gonna do is cost you unnecesary amounts of $$$, and when it comes to modding cars, the only thing your spent money should be doing is making your car faster.orange5814 said:Hey guys, Check out the pics in my gallery. I have the Comptech cat-back... I love it! However, The tips are definately hidden by the OEM rear aero skirt. I am trying to work with Hardtopguy.com to come up w/ a solution w/ Comptech. The tips need to be about 3 inches longer if you have the rear skirt. If you don't they will look AWESOME. But, I don't want to lose the rear skirt. I may just have them extended by a local exhaust shop. PM me if you need any help or more pics, I can e-mail a bund. ~Scott
That doesn't apply to everyone :rolleye2: A 12 second Ferrari 360 will ALWAYS be greater than an 11 second Honda CRX. In my opinion, I completely agree with orange. Having the tip flush with the kit would make a big difference. And it won't cost much at your local muffler shop.ComptechAccord4 said:when it comes to modding cars, the only thing your spent money should be doing is making your car faster
