I was the one recording and my younger brother driving...had a little miscommunication. But once I finish editing the drive bys, it should sound a lot better...need to tone down the background noise

I'm on the fence between this and XLR8's exhaust. We need some decent sound clips to really understand what this thing will sound like

I can't comment on the sound completely...but there are some clips there in this thread you can hear. The ATLP sounds sick...

And Stew4HD I think you need to have a little faith man. It will fit the 2012.

**Disclaimer**

I am no video expert and don't have the best equipment for a justifiable video for the quality of what ATLP and HeelToe produces.

Remember, this is a virtually stock car, minus H&R springs and cosmetics, and K&N Drop in filter. Stock CAT, stock J-pipe, and this has no Resonators.

I know everyone is pretty much comparing this to XLR8s CB, but keep in mind, the ones that has been popping with videos has other mods that will effect sound and performance.

The in cabin noise is very tolerable even at highway speeds. Sorry about the visual affects, some people don't like what I did to my car... ...ENJOY!

Sorry, but until I see it actually on a '12, I am not going to go through the process of taking my car to a shop, taking off the stock exhaust and trying to install the ATLP only to find it doesn't fit.. and the hassle that would go along with that (re-install stock and then returning the ATLP). I am not one to trust in faith.

I believe little of what I hear and only half of what I see, no offense but If you are 100% sure, then why do you want a '12?

I want to get one here to test so that I can tell YOU that we did it and you can then place an order

Thanks for the video Fallen, that's a much better video where you can clearly hear the exhaust!

No problem, anything I can do to help you guys decide what is best for you. But, I do LOVE this exhaust, can't wait to get the HFC,J-Pipe, and PCD!

So far, I have been getting positive feedback from passerbyers at gas stations, car washes, stores, and even an Acura dealership! They all love the way it looks and finishes the rear end and they love the growl. Just yesterday, a White EVO X was going crazy on me on the freeway!

As far as I know, there are pre-orders for this and some people already have ordered theirs. I don't know when Marcus will ship them out though.

Marcus wants me to do another dyno run with baseline vs ATLP, so I am waiting for him to set up a date and time for that. Thats all I have right now.

Manufactorers / vendors seem to be having a lot of difficulties making products for the 4G.

Lots of upfront costs without really knowing the market that's going to buy your product. It's a tough business to be in, especially in this economy.

I am surprised our tester had not replied! After a month of trying to find a Dyno shop that could give us accurate results without costing a fortune we did a power check on the system 2 weeks ago.

We gained a solid 5 hp and 10 ft-lbs of torque all the way from about 3000 RPM to redline. I have been trying to get a decent chart to show you guys.

The prototype parts are with the manufacturer now for tooling. We should be making parts in the next couple weeks.

The company that Richie used to produce his products messed with the design a little and the measurements ended up being off when the batches came in. So he sent them back so the company can fix the problem.

He also just moved into a bigger shop so hes still getting things set up with that.

A bit of business advice from someone whos been at it a while:

Too busy spending the money from yesterday to honor your commitments today = good way to be closed tomorrow.

I dont care if you make the best stuff in the world; you'll still fail every time on that formula.

Unless you're a bank or a union labor shop, then you get a tax funded parachute.

Can you rephrase that?

Rephrase it? Subtly isn't one of my specialities; I'm generally about as subtle as a root canal.

When you take people's money in March, promise delivery in June, and then are still ignoring people about commitments in October, you aren't building much new customer confidence. Might have the best product in the world, but you'll find that order sheet pretty short if you're not keeping in touch with the customers.

Not going to happen? The prototype is done. The parts are being tooled right now. The dyno was done weeks ago (but the effing dyno shop has lagged on getting me the dyno sheet). I have the dyno plot just need to type up a blub and post it. Coming real soon I promise.

Good advice. Too bad it is completely non-applicable to what is going on here. Don't pretend to know or assume to know what is going on over on this side.

I made my point. No communication = bad impression. People are generally eager to share good news; not so eager when things aren't so hot.

Guys I know it is dragging on. I promise I am going as fast as I can with it. Suffice to say I have a few things in front of this at the time being.

Communication comes to those who seek it directly. I only really check this forum weekly at most.

I have it, need to write it up. Sorry for lagging. I have a pretty long list of crap to do including this and about 50 other things. I recently took on the services of an assistant to help get us through it all. Trust me dudes, this system is on the short list for completion.
