I haven't really driven it yet, I'm going to run to the store so I'll let you know. I can tell that it is a bit deeper inside. I didn't want something loud, that's why I went with this, everything else seems to be too loud for a dd!

Im with you on that one Russell, I do a lot of highway driving and a loud exhaust can just be annoying, so that's why ive been holding off on the exhaust for my car for the longest time.

If you have time, can you take a vid of when you start the car?

Do you mean when the car is cold? Like a first start in the morning?

I just got home from driving the car and you can tell from inside that the exhaust isn't stock; it isn't loud like the ATLP, it's not even as loud as the apexi world sport! It's definitely not something that you will get pulled over for

Walking behind it while it idles you can hear it has a deeper more present tone! Overall I'm very satisfied, given the price and quality!

Was the install pretty easy? Any problems with getting the bolts off?

they were a little rusty, I just sprayed some PB blaster on them tapped on them with a hammer then put a cheater bar on a ratchet. Total time beginning to end was about 45min; I mounted them then took them off to adjust the hangers. I did it with the car on the ground, with stock suspension; and hand tools(its not worth hauling out the air compressor)

that sounds really good actually.

some more pics of it and i think i'm sold.
its not like theres any performance difference between exhausts other than the atlp and even that isn't too much for a tl-s. so you really just have to base it off price, looks, and sound.

No i just want to hear it from a dead stop to ignition, I want to hear how nice it growls when you start up the car. Doesnt matter if its a cold morning or if you've been driving for a while, I just want to hear how it sounds when its started.

Still have your resonator and mid muffler? Wonder how loud it would get without them.

wow, are you SERIOUS?!?!

I was worrying about my mid muffler delete being too loud for this exhaust, but apparently not!

However, if I do end up buying these mufflers (80% sure), im gonna have them coupled to the Random Technology Cat. Converter on my stock exhaust system along with the midmuffler delete.

do you still have the resonator on the exhaust?

These mufflers are a straight thru design, I don't know if the mid-muffler is a straight thru or not; I doubt it. But there are a few 90* bends and it's small piping on the stock exhaust so I doubt it will be that much louder!

I will try and get some more vidoes tomorrow; assuming that there isn't a bunch of snow on the roads. I could do a full throttle pull and record that. I've only put it to the floor once so even if it is louder it wouldn't bother me; that's not why I bought it!

My TL didnt come with a resonator, just one (1) mid-muffler that I had an exhaust shop remove for me.

Just saw your pics on the first page, nice install, they seem to hang pretty even! good job on the install!

thanks, I had to bend the rear hangers slightly to make them sit better, they still aren't perfect but it was cold so I wasn't to picky! Once it warms up or I can put the car in the garage I will bend the hangers so that the tips do sip perfect! I just wanted to make sure that they wouldn't rest on the bumper anywhere and cause it to melt!

Ha, you and i wonder the same thing. I have both my resonator and mid-muffler deleted. Also wonder the same if it will be too loud. I remember searching the forums saying something about after market exhaust on a deleted resonator and mid-muffler will sound loud and raspy. Can't find that thread anymore...Gonna try to search for it again.

i think it sounds beautiful its about the same as having both resonators removed it just eliminates the raspy-ness noise some of us were getting at about 2-2500k

i mean if your driving by a cop hes not going to be like damn his shit is loud, the best words i can use is it sounds like a factory "performance" exhaust that some companies come out with. when i removed mine it gave it more of a throaty sound def. more aggressive than stock but not too loud no drone as well

yea its a cheap mod too so if you dont like the sound you can just through the mid muffler back on.

03ssmtls- no i dont have any vids me and rajca are meeting up sometime to get some sound clips of his car as well as mine but i wont be with stock exhaust and no mid mufflers if thats wat your asking as of right now im running the tsudo axleback with both midmuffler n resonator deleated but added a thrust glasspack muffler in place of a resonator. and no mine sounds nothing like his. its almost a exact match to my buddies 330i w/ his $800 bavarian autosport exhaust =) lol but im in love with it now its so deep toned. sound clips will defiantly not do the justice but in person its beautiful
