I know this has probably been asked a billion times before, but I couldn't find any threads that address my exact situation. Humor me.

I just bought a '99 Accord EX V6. I am interested in an aftermarket exhaust system. So far, everything I have looked at looks like a coffee can. I want something more natural and reserved looking--like 3 inch pipes. I also hate exhausts that sound like giant buzz bombs. I want something that is subtle and deep.

At this point, from what I've been able to tell, I like the Magnaflow the best. Anyone have any experience with these? Any pictures? How do they sound? Are there any others that would qualify for what I am looking for?

Thanks a lot,


Brett

 

From what you've described, I'd look at the Comptech exhaust. That's what I'd get if I had a V6.

 

go with the magnaflows, its a complete cat back system for under 450 shipped and they sound the best out of any exhaust u can get!!!

 

I checked out the Comptech site, and all they had for the 98-02 V6 was an axle back system....for a whopping $600..... I am interested in a cat-back system. Do they make these for the 6th gen or not?

Nittany, do you have the Magnas? What do they sound like?

Comptech stuff is real nice.

 

i have mine on a 4cyl, but they are the v6 setup durring hard accelleration the exhaust gives a nice growl, but when your rinning on the highway at cruzing speeds and are still on the gas the exhaust is really quiet, it only gets loud when you step on it.

 

I have a Magnaflow on my 01 sedan 4 cyl and I must say it was money well spent like Nittanys1 said it is quiet when crusing and when you step on it it gets a little loud only to be drowned out my my Injen sri check out www.completeexhaust.com for the best prices.

 

i have a 99 ex v6 sedan as well and i've been looking for these parts for a while.
there are a good mount of choices you can go with. Dual Muffler: HKS sport, Magnaflow, GReddy SP2, Apexi WorldSport2 (you can go with coupe) and some tanabe ones. single muffler: Apexi WorldSport2.
i think i will go with GReddy SP2 or HKS Sport. people say Apexi WS2 is too quiet...but i'm not sure GReddy or HKS sport would be too loud or not, at least they would make you feel some differences from the stock sound.

 

Greddy SP2 is way too loud IMHO since my bro had it on his 93, I like the Greddy EVO thats on mine. Its a lot more refined compared to the SP2.

 

What are you talking about? If the SP2 is way too loud, the Evo must be deafening. I have the Evo II on my car and I hate it. I got pulled over a while back because the cop said it was too loud.

I would consider the Comptech exhaust. Comptech makes some of the most high quality stuff out there. The difference between an axle back and cat back will not make much of a difference on a N/A mildly modded car. Magnaflow just looked like cheap shit to me. Go with the Comptech and I promise you won't regret it.
