Man bro, my car has almost all of the same shit as yours because of your videos. I think this is going to be my next upgrade. I got a little side tracked because I am just finishing a full stereo system but keep the videos coming bro. Great work!
@@DanVilla7 Well installed my DC exhaust today. It is on the loud side but looks really good and I do feel a performance gain from it. When you installed yours did you have any small leaks where the band clamps connect each section of pipe? I am getting a very little bit air coming through at the two points between the front pipe and the Y pipe. Thanks in advance.
I had one leak but after messing around with it, I was able to stop it. Get it hot then readjust the clamp, that should help get rid of any leaks. I also used an impact gun that makes it easier
Any idea of the weight difference from stock? Possibly more important do those tips get the exhaust gasses far enough away to stop the soot built up on the bumper like the stock exhaust does?
I didn't check the difference in weight, the stock exhaust is actually pretty light, this could possibly heavier. It should help with the carbon build up on the bunper as they stick out further. I actually removed it so I wouldn't be able to tell your for sure
Hey, what did you end up getting? I’m also deciding between DC or Borla. The only thing with Borla is it may be too loud for my liking, but it sounds damn good! DC on the other hand has a deeper, bassier tone which also sounds good.
@@Apezilla hey man, sorry don’t have an accord anymore. i traded for a lemans blue e90 m3. but i helped my good friend put on his borla exhaust for his 10th gen accord. i really like the borla, but i think the dc sports is worth it just because the tone is better. i had to do the same w my m3. i wanted a louder exhaust but ended up going w the i have now which has amazing tone.
Bigger doesn’t mean better 😂 too many newbies think that way but here’s the truth: having proper back pressure matching engine is most important for horsepower. Of course the flipside is that loudness and appearance trump real performance 😂😂
Sounds better with the stock catback with your PRL front pipe and RV6 catted downpipe. Now it's starting to sound more like a boy racer civic than a refined mature Accord. I prefer the refined quiet sound of the stock catback for this reason. One of the reasons why I'm comfortable just leaving the phearable stage 3 tune on my car and doing nothing else. This car just doesn't sound good with an aftermarket catback.
I read in one of your comments that you removed this exhaust? I’m assuming that’s because it was too loud for your liking. I’d like to see how the magnaflow fatback exhaust sounds with your setup. In other vids it almost sounds like stock exhaust
I'm curious as well haven't seen or heard it. Probably something I'd like better. Here's my review video of the dc sports exhaust ruclips.net/video/WiBNIh72GJ0/видео.html

I got a question do you think you would get the same sound results on the 1.5t ? Also would this exhaust fit the rear diffuser with the led brake light ?
Hey man a few questions, I just installed mine last week. Do your inner tips touch a small piece of metal? Also, when putting the tips on with the hangers- Did you push all 4 of them all the way back towards the little nub you have to slip it over?

Not bad at all! Still not sure if to add an exhaust to my 2021 2.0T. I like to listen to music in the cabin so I am afraid of too much noise.
It is definitely loud when getting up to speed then once maintaining speed it's a smooth tone and not very loud

How long did the self installing take? Looking to do it myself but currently in college and want to have an idea of how long it took you.

What’s the model or the serial number in the exhaust
I see the details on the website mentioned **(system does not include front pipe) ** do I need to buy a front pipe separately or my stock accord already comes with one?
No additional equipment needed. You can buy a 3" front pipe like I have but not necessary
Should’ve done a walk around of the vehicle off the jacks.

To be honest I don't love the sound of anything out there for this car. I have a downpipe and front pipe with the stock exhaust and it's still quite but sounds better
Would it be worth to wield If the clamps aren’t good from the ones they sent? Kinda don’t wanna spend $ every time something happens to them
A tack weld works for that and if you want to remove you just grind them off
