Nope, but if you're going to cheap out on the exhaust I would not change it. Honda uses a nice exhaust system not worth going cheap.

The only option you have is a cheap exhaust that will only last a year if that or a local shop who does custom work with the old pressure bent tubing.

How much is that one? I actually would like a 2014-2015 OEM catback then add a rv6 down pipe both are 2.5inch a perfect match. No rush I am not doing anything till I get my spring inspection sicker:lildevil:

That is crazy expensive for you guy's. For that much I would make my own exhaust.

I emailed that website after posting because with the exhange rate it would be cheaper than buying over here. said the shipping was a flat rate of $26 but i didnt believe that. so i asked and they said last one they shipped to canada was like $350 in shipping. so in the end its not worth it. even the full race down pipe for a non catted is almost $600. so close to $2000 with tax shipped to my door. im thinking i might just get the downpipe this year because i need tires as well. and to justify spending $2000 is hard for me.

Super old thread that hasn’t been updated in forever, but maybe some of these Canadian shops have better pricing since they’d be shipping it less distance?

i know about all those. prices are the same vendor to vendor. another one is teknotik.com which isnt mentioned in there. garage16 doesnt sell the full race, only equivalent is ktuned but i like that full race uses vband connections. prices arent much different. $1644 for ktuned down pipe and catback free shipping. vs $1750 for full race plus shipping $1834.

im waiting till boxing day sales come out. they had nothing for black friday on these exhausts.

you got me thinking now. i always loved the turn down style mufflers. wonder how much louder the k tuned turn down is compared to a full race style muffler. k tuned turn down is about $240, wonder how much it would cost to get a shop to weld up a 3" exhaust.

That's wild. I just about lose my shiz everytime you talk about pricing. The barrier for entry is high enough already, but dang. If I lived in Canada I dunno if I'd be able to afford to mod!

I would like a 2014-2015 stock catback-its 2.5 plenty good for these cars. the 2014-2015 catback has some bad bends in it going down to 2.1 still bigger than the 2013. I guess honda just like to put junky exhaust systems on these cars,. I don't know what set up to use. Leaning to the rv6 catted downpipe and some kind of catback. I see the q300 has a bad muffler ratting problem-so I am crossing it off my list.

I had a shop make me a custom exhaust pipe back in the day and I believe it was only like 75 bucks or something like that but that was 16+ years ago. I couldn't imagine it being more than 200 bucks depending on what type of bends or material they use.

Ive got universal health care so it's all good. Just takes longer to get car parts.

I might get a quote when I have time. I'm a little nervous that a k tuned turn down with a catless downpipe would be too loud.

I would say any catless downpipe is going to be noisy-and stinky. The metallic 200 racing cats are excellent and barley slow up the air flow and the exhaust doesn't stink and tune's down some nasty noise.:corndance: my mods so far eight HP tires, hondata tuner-car was reflashed and the acuity CAI carbon fiber air intake-not on yet- very cool looking tubes. ultra pennnziol 05-25w and napa platinum oil filter

I don't recall ever hearing the Ktuned turn down style exhaust in person. I know my car is kinda loud on cold start for a few seconds and goes back quite.
