Alright, before taking the plunge on doing a complete header-back exhaust upgrade I want to know whats the best choice for a catback? Tanabe T70078 or ATLP ES0002? Both are stainless steel and highly rated by those who have them on their TL's.
My plan is to install DC sports headers with a magnaflow cat and one of the two cat backs on my 2000 TL-P. The car is in great shape and I plan on keeping it for a long time so I might as well upgrade the exhaust to get the most out of the car.
I just want your guy's opinions if the ATLP exhaust is worth it or if heeltoe still sells them since it seems that's the only place where you can order them from, where as the Tanabe exhaust is pretty easy and affordable to find them online.
I really love the way the ATLP exhaust sounds compared to Tanabe but I wonder which one performs the best, can anybody care to share your experiences?

ATLP has the best sound.

ATLP hands down. Love the exhaust notes. It's loud enough and not intrusive. Does not drone while cruising the freeways. You can still hear your music and have a conversation without having to yell. It has a very deep and smooth sound to it while accelerating. Again, the sound is not intrusive, meaning it's not loud enough to wake up the dead, but loud enough to turn some heads. Very smooth and subtle sound. I had to wait 9 months to get my ATLP exhaust because Marcus from HeelToeAuto needed more people to place an order on the exhaust. But, let me tell you, it was absolutely worth the wait.

Go for the ATLP! I'm confident that you won't regret it.

Wished It was a little bit louder but otherwise it's perfect!
