Has anyone done ANY Exhaust mods to their Crosstour?

I am seriously looking into having a GReddy cat back system for the Accord Coupe V6 modified for my CT (see the video link below). I am also looking at Magnaflow and even Megan Racing. They are all made for the Accord Coupe V6, and I'm sure it won't be entirely simple.
Today I was thinking that maybe MF mufflers might be good enough...

I thought I'd check to see if anyone has any experience with this...

How's about it?

The exhaust sound in the UTube is great! My only worry would be any distracting "Droning" noise inside the cabin, especially during long distance drives....

If all you want is a different sound you could always install one of these in your power outlet....

You can pick V8 - V10 or V12 Sound effects!

I plugged a V8 version into my '03 Accord 4 banger for fun, turned up the Sub-woofer and started the car with the wife in the car....

She was ready to KILL ME! -rotflmao-

I dont think so. I think there's one member here that has a white crosstour fixed up, but not sure if he has a custom exhaust. The greddy sounds good actually. I would call greddy to see if they can customize you one. If your serious on fixing up your car. See if you can get sponsorship from them. You can be the first crosstour with the greddy exhaust. :D

Where would one even go to get a custom exhaust?

Also (being that I'm new to cars), will changing a muffler improve performance? or does it just change the sound?

on my old accord I had a custom exhaust cutout, lots of fun when you want to make noise, but since it was a nasty hackjob I did myself, It never made a perfect seal and always sounded I had an exhaust leak. I love how honda v6 sounds, i would definitly consider a muffler that on low speeds/ revs makes stock sounds but on mid to high makes a good growl, but I wonder which brand is good for that.

GL84- you can go to any exhaust shop and get it done. Since the CT has split rears I don't see the need to mess with anything before the mufflers unless you change the headers, cats and pipe size. Yes a muffler swap can increase performance. A stock muffler is stuffed with barriers and fillers that allows it to pass emission and noise tests from factory. This is what a stock muffler might look like... You can see how the exhaust has to travel a lot just to escape. Go check out Magnaflow, Flowmaster, Thrush, Megan, Cherry Bomb and many others and see how theirs compare to a stock one.

Exhaust is my next Mod! :) Any suggestions on Mufflers?? I don't want to do Muffler Delete as it might be too much at low RPM's. I did that with my old 2008 9-3 Aero and it sound good but got annoying on long trips lol.

I am not too sure, I tell you one thing though. I installed the K&N filter over the weekend and OMG I almost don't even need an exhaust system. Quiet below 2500 RPMS and its pretty throaty after that! Freaking love it! I wanna get a video of it soon... Stay posted :)

I think I have a review post on here somewhere, but yeah I love it :D

Here's my YouTube Before and After (Man... it's been so long since I heard a stock V6 on the CT)

Thanks for the video. It sounds great. I' m thinking about doing the Takeda Short ram. I had the same one on my 09' TL and it had a great sound too. Any thoughts on the Takeda?

I have these but with the burnt rainbow steel effect, cut off the OEM mufflers, cut the new muffler tips and formed them to fit the smaller OEM exhaust, welded together
