So relax, go take some downers, sleep for a couple days, then come back and hopefully there will be pics....

Ok got it all welded up and i can honestly say it makes a HUGE difference in power. The old TL-P exhaust was definitely a bottlekneck for the exhaust. It pulls much harder now and i can get them to spin good into 3rd now.
Sound, its got a deep tone (a little too deep) at idle to 2k, then the sound becomes really nice (though about 6k there is a little rasp? Im not sure if its the other muffler breaking in or not. It seems to be going away though. If there were a little more room i would throw a 14" resonator in there.

I think it has a lot to do with removing the cat..... I dont have a cat, and seriously this car is fast.... so I have an idea of what your talking about.... I dont have the exhaust setup you now, but I am using a TL-S exhaust..... if its any different than a Tl-P exhaust.

Its ok though, Im sure Yugi-Oh will come on soon, and you can be happy all over again (that was a joke too, but im sure youll get mad and reply with some idiotic comment.... Im ok with that

I know how fast i can get to a specific mark, so i should be able to tell if im getting there faster ![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

That was very mature, congrats.

Kris, are you using the stock mufflers in the back? Nice work on the fabrication. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to make a custom exhaust? Maybe it will inspire more members to do this instead of buying cat-back exhausts. Seem's this one actually makes a difference. You should def get that car on a dyno and tuned. Thumbs up.

Do I win a prize? Thats just what I pictured. The shop where I got my dyno with the SC told me I should do 3 inch aluminized piping to free up some backpressue. They said they did an altima 3.? and the gains were amazing. I am curious how it shows on the dyno.
Do you think if I got a highflow cat, and then went with straight piping 3 inch all the way to universal mufflers, I could get the same results as what you did?

Something is missing...my
Ok, Ok, don't tell my wife, but here I am on my vacation in Florence Oregon doing some file maintenance on the camera disc's at the BestWestern's computer station. crackurazine here I come!
So, bigger picture. It seems somewhat evident that you are freeing up flow. We all know there are gains to be had from that. However, do we think that you would do this for just a simple mod? NO. You are simply preparing for what you want to breathe though it better. You are modifying your current setup only to change something else that will have Large gains from the free flow (things that would actually NEED the flow.) What else is on the "dockett?"
We all see what you are up to now, what are you up to soon?
(Nice job on the exhaust btw

good work man! i was thinking about a custom exhaust for our tl's along the lines of the ATL-p exhaust that the 3rd geners have. this seems like it may provide serious gains. i hope you agree to test it and answer the questions about the difference in power with and w/out the cat

What made you put the resonator so far up the line, does that create a lot of noise underneath the front cabin?
