Revel Medallion Street Plus Catback Exhaust - 2002-2003 Acura CL Type S
The CL Type S is a special car, the J32A2, the 6-speed, the understated looks, and the right exhaust should match that character: better tone and flow without turning it into a drone machine. The Revel Medallion Street Plus is exactly that. It's hand-TIG-welded stainless, tuned for a deep, refined tone that stays under 95db under load, so you get a genuine step up from stock without the volume that makes a car tiring to live with. Elegant rather than loud, which suits this car.
Tuned For A Deep Tone, Not Just Volume
This is the whole point of the Street Plus, so it's worth being clear.
Plenty of catbacks just get loud. The Medallion Street Plus is voiced differently: it's tested to stay under 95db under load, with advanced muffler packing that delivers a deep, tasteful tone while still suppressing the harsh, droning frequencies that make a loud exhaust miserable on the highway.
The result is an exhaust you actually want to live with, a richer, deeper sound under acceleration that settles down at cruise. For a refined car like the CL Type S, that balance of better tone without constant volume is exactly right, and it's harder to engineer than simply making something loud.
Hand TIG-Welded Stainless
The construction is genuine quality, not a budget catback.
The whole system is fully hand TIG-welded, which produces clean, strong welds that hold up to road salt, moisture, and heat cycling rather than cracking or corroding at the joints like cheaper MIG or spot-welded systems. It's built from full SUS201 stainless steel for durability and a high-quality finish that lasts.
Hand TIG work is what you pay for on a quality exhaust, it's slower and more skilled than automated welding, and it's the difference between a system that lasts the life of the car and one you're replacing in a few years.
Mandrel-Bent For Flow
The piping is built to flow, which is where any performance benefit comes from.
The system uses mandrel-bent piping, which keeps a consistent diameter through every bend rather than crimping down like cheap crush-bent pipe. Consistent diameter means the exhaust flows freely with no restriction at the bends, letting the engine breathe better on the way out.
Laser-cut flanges connect the sections, precise, flat flanges that seal properly and prevent the exhaust leaks that plague poorly made systems. It's the kind of fit-and-finish detail that separates a quality system from a bargain one.
Rolled Tips, Clean Presentation
The look matches the refined character.
The single-wall rolled tips are understated and elegant rather than oversized and flashy, and they contribute to the deeper tone as well as the look. The rolled muffler canister is clean and simple, a tasteful presentation that suits the CL Type S rather than shouting for attention. It's a system that looks like it belongs on the car, not bolted on.
OEM Fitment Only
Important to confirm before ordering.
This is designed and tested for U.S.-spec vehicles with the OEM exhaust system. If your car has non-OEM, aftermarket, or previously modified exhaust components upstream (a different downpipe, test pipe, or header), fitment may vary and isn't covered under warranty.
So if your CL Type S is otherwise stock from the catback connection back, this is a direct fit. If you've modified the exhaust ahead of it, confirm compatibility before ordering.
