Sun Diego CL-S

Sup guys. It's been awhile since I last posted in here and much less started a new thread.

I want to get an exhaust for my CL and would like to know what is new as far as aftermarket exhausts for our CL. I've always thought I would like a Magnaflow 14832 muffler with some sort of custom setup. For those of you that do have this muffler, what sort of piping are you running as far as axle/catbacks, different widths in piping, resonators or what have you. I would like a good setup that sounds fairly tame under normal driving but doesn't sound like ass on WOT. Power gains that you have from your different setups would be good to know also.

Like I said, I don't which exhausts are new for the CL, so please let me know which are the ones that sound the best and render the most power gains along with it.

Thanks,
Luis

Iv got the magnaflow 14832's with the resonator cut out, everything else piping-wise is stock. It has a low rumble to it with normal driving, nothing too loud or annoying. WOT sounds awesome IMO, very deep tone.

That sure sounds good. What did the butt dyno say after the exhaust setup install?
Doesn't the mid-muffler or resonator delete adversely affect horsepower and torque?

ATLP has made one for the TL's that gives 10hp and 10tq, theres a group guy goin on right now, you should find out if it can fit CL's with minor modification

only problem is that it costs 1k

Sun Diego CL-S

Do they make one for the 2nd Gen TL too?
I know that they have one for the 3G TL.

nope they don't make it for 2g, tried to get a GB; no interests.

BigLizard

you can still buy the cans and have an exhaust shop chop, cut, and weld them up for you.

they do but there wasnt enough interest due to the price but if you can get enough ppl with a deposit he will make them, this is the group trying to do that right now

its the best exhaust performance wise for our cars

Sun Diego CL-S

Yeah, pretty much what I was thinking.

StreetKA. I've always like the sound of the Comptech exhaust but I personally don't like the tip much.

CA guys. How would a custom setup with Magnaflows go as far as CA Smog tests?

Sun Diego CL-S

It sounds like it is a good exhaust. A bit loud but that with the power gains it is worth it. Only thing is I would hate to buy a $1,000 exhaust and have it chopped to fit a car that it's not for.

Mine sounds just like DC3328's exhaust.Except it dont sound as snappy when rpm's fall.How did you get such good sound thou DC ?I only have deleted mufflers bigger pipe off the Y and 3 1/2" resonated tips.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

yup it sounds good but the tip isnt so nice as it could be...

i got 6 spd too but on the second gear my clutch is sliping i got only 60k on it ;/ i can not spin my tires on second and sometimes on the third its sliping as hell.

Im going to be putting a set of COmptech Axle-backs on my car soon and also deleting the mid-muffler (again) and seeing how that turns out, prob gunna sound dead sexii

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

i^ i was thinking about it but axelbacks alone sounds good enough for me. without mid muffler thats gonna sound too loud for a daily driver

well maybe, I always thought the CT axle back was just a little bit mild and would purr with more air flow to them

ATLP, Just a little shortening is all I think it needs.

Shouldn't be much modification necessary.

I'm still a Comptech fan but the ATLP would be my 2nd option.

Marcus, Heeltoe, will do the Group Buy on the 2nd Gen TL ATLP exhaust.

They only need 1 more person to get it going.

Only asking $200 deposit and the rest in 3-4 months when fabrication is complete.

Here is the thread for more info.

Something to consider...

i would love ATLP much more than CT...

but this guy has something else maybe a resonator removed in my opinion cuz its pretty loud...

Here are my MagnaFlow 11214 mufflers with all stock piping. I'm working on an in car video right now also and I will post it up later.

I love the look of the ATLPs, but they are too loud for me. I picked up a set of CT axlebacks that are going on as soon as I cut the old mufflers off.

Sun Diego CL-S

I would possibly consider this exhaust if I knew how much work is involved to make it fit onto a CL. In that thread, you asked the vendor a direct question about fitment on a 2nd Gen CL and he never answered.

edit: Thanks to everyone for their input.
As of now, I think I may go the Magnaflow 14832 custom way because that is the look and sound I want. What sort of piping(thicker diameter) are some of you adding?

nf3d0149ab

iTrader: (5)

^ Yeah he never answered...lol

I was just trying to tell him about that to draw more attention, maybe sell some more units...oh well.

As for piping...

I think most people go with 2.5" unless you were to go turbo'd or charged, then it seems most people go with 3".
