Im looking for an exhaust system for my car , preferably a cat back. Could anyone tell me good brands and types to help me get Hp and good sound?

 

ATLP for sure

 

ATLP is the best, but it's also the most expensive.

If your looking for HP, start somewhere else. Headers are the best bang for the buck. Catbacks will only give ~10hp on stock cars.

I also agree. I heard a tl w/atlp exhaust on youtube & sound awsome!

 

i was thinking about getting the ATLP cat back one but i can only find it on one website. does anyone know any other distributers?

 

ck our sponsoring vendors MrHeelToe,,which has an exhaust thread right below this one,,,
and excelerate

ck the Black Market- Sponsored Sales
after you log in- on the page to select what gen or area you want,,go to bottem of the page- all the extra sections are there- black market-sponsored is vendors who make this site happen for us
and private sales- members selling used parts or new stuff they didnt use,,also sections on wash and wax, yadayada...

 

Atlp is the best dual exhaust and in my opinion, the greddy evo 2 is the best single exhaust...
Our cars are not the best sounding with aftermarket exhaust, but there is a couple that give good performance and sound good as well....gl on your search

 

I saw a video on youtube of a 2g tl with a ATLP exhaust and it sounded mean , hence the reason i want to buy it . i just need to know if i can get it for less than 999.95$ like on ebay or any other main websites

 

neg on ebay or any other sites

 

i have magnaflow cat back, sounds great, good gains

 

No!

 

So heeltoe is the only place to grab one of those exhaust systems and the price i saw was 995. For a catback that is high.

 

yep. gotta pay to play.

personally, i would go custom and save a bunch of money.

 

Yes, that is the only place. If you want QUALITY you have to pay. For what you get its worth the money.

 

Yea, I would consider other options if budget is a concern. Stalking the BM for an CT axleback would be cheaper, and still give a good product. Just do a custom piping from the cat to the axleback, and you'll save a lot of money.

I wonder why I've yet to see an ATLP on the BM. I see CT catbacks, but never an ATLP.

 

You dont see them because they are still making the first batch. People cant sell what they dont have. If you are referring to the 3g tl or other models then I have seen atlp products for those for sale.

 

I think your a little misinformed. ATLP handed over production to HeelToe, and the first batch from them is now being made.

However, ATLP exhausts for the TL have been in production for a long while now.

 

SO i think i'm gonna go custom from catback. Any tips/advice/suggestions? If there is a general DIY on the site that anyone knows of, I'd greatly appreciate someone pointing out the way to the thread.

 

That's not something you could really DIY. Just find a good muffler shop, and ask them. Choice of mufflers is up to you. Just enlarge the piping size, and you should be good.

 

And find someone that does Mandrel bending and not crush bending.

 

+1.. just a FYI, the price of mandrel vs crush will be more pricey but def worth it for the most power/efficiency.. i dont know any shops around me that do this tho =\

 

Same. I went to soo many shops, and no one could do it.

 

Thanks for the direction! I have welder/torch/and am in the process of buying the pipe (cousin has a degree in metallurgy so he'll help with what type of steel/aluminum to go with there, and hopefully hook me up with a discount) but as far as diameter goes....recommendations? 2.25" or 2.5" or 3"? Will going to the three inch cause me to have to worry about scavenging and/or backpressure issues?

 

Also, the mid-muffler delte should be simple right? just cut out and weld pipe in open spot. I'm also planning on doing the rear muffler delete. Street legal?
