Hey guys! I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this set of pipes. I'm just looking to make a bit more noise. I could really care less about power gains. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Found a more informative listing at protuning lab with actual pics. My thoughts are a 2-1/4" pipe isn't going to flow any better than stock, so it's just going to be a bunch of noise for the sake of noise and the look. Speaking of looks, 4.5" tips are too big for the TSX in my opinion. 3"-3.5" is perfect. No idea what the muffler is included with the TSX kit since it's a generic photo. i might be willing to try the ones with the resonator canister, but not the big straight through fart cannon. Amazon reviews mention it's super loud. If it was 2.5" or even better 3" piping i would buy it just for the piping alone than swap resonators and mufflers. That's assuming it's actually 304SS which is hard to believe for $260 shipped from amazon. 10 feet of true quality 304SS tubing is close to $100 on its own.

Looks like it's geared for those that like large tips and loud systems. At least from 1st impressions. Not knocking it, just giving an opinion. I have 2.25 pipes and had to do a lot of tuning, mainly with resonators and tips, to get it to where it became more tolerable. Now it has more character and less noise. If you want just a little bit more noise than stock, I would consider other systems like the Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust (if it still exhists). It's a very nice sounding exhaust without being obnoxious.

I personally have this exhaust and I’m glad I got it. It’s pretty loud but deep and doesn’t sound “ricey”. Sometimes it pops off of decel which makes it fun. Only problem is it’s a little droney over 80 mph but not super bad. Plus the 4.5 inch tips look great.

I have this system on my 2004. I got it for a steal used on marketplace and I had doubts but it’s actually a really great sound and decent quality. It has an added resonator and I’m running the stock cat with aftermarket headers. The fitment is good and with the added resonator I don’t have much interior drone to speak of. Took about an hour to instal with a lift
