What's the best exhaust on the market right now for a 3rd gen TL? I wanted to get the Greddy Evo 2, but I guess they don't make them anymore.

 

ATLP or XLR8, Richie dual just to name a few.

 

^+++1

LOL we havent had a noob start one of these in awhile.

 

rv6

 

Xlr8

 

they all produce teh same amount of gains.

all sound different.

so there really isnt a "best"

pick one that is affordable to you

 

Base TL or TL-S? What kind of exhaust note do you want? Honestly, Marcus made one of the best videos I have seen of the difference between the XLR8 and ATLP.

 

How come ATLP for Type-S is so quiet and for base TL it's so loud

XLR8 for base TL sounds better to me but I don't like the tips.

 

+1

I have just have the base TL. Thanks for all the help.

 

Here is the link to our XLR8 exhaust:

XLR8 sounds awesome. I love mine.

 

I have the ATLP and it is AWESOME. I looked at it for a good two years before I actually bought it. It sounds quiet to me but all my friends say its loud and that they'll hear me coming from afar.

 

I am very new to this site, but from what I have read, sounds like rv6 is the way to go.

 

Here are the options I was given....Just getting peoples opinions on my options; As per GuLuMoNeY's recommendation, I took the TL to a local muffler shop, seemed to be a decent fella; his recommendation was to go with a custom exhaust made at his shop vs. buying a ready made one from XLR8 or Tsudo or gReddy (the last being the one I really would have loved to have!!). I showed him this youtube video as this is what I want - He recommends using a 3" pipe (I need to confirm material on the pipe) crush bent in his shop with magnaflow mufflers that will look and sound similar to the gReddy - all installed for $575!! (He said he'd let me try out the system without resonator) and if it's too loud then he'll place the res no charge; Also he showed me some options for drone that he could do at an additional cost ($70); It would be great to have your guys's opinions as to my options

 

I love the sound of the first one. What is it?

 

^1st one what? Post 7?

 

Hey guys, Im new to the site and I just purchased my first TL. I wanna make some modifications to it as soon as possible (exhaust, suspension, rims) but I wanted to know a couple things. I love the ATLP quads but I typically am seeing them on the tl type s. My question is would they fit on a base 3g TL?

 

We'd be happy to help you. Send us an email to sales@excelerateperformance.com or give us a call at 203-483-6100 and we can put a package together for you. Also, check out our website in our signature.

The TL-S quad tipped exhaust will not fit the base TL unless you modify the rear bumper or install a TL-S rear lip.

 

do you have to get a new j pipe, when installing a new exhaust system?

 

Depends on what that "exhaust system" is.
XLR8, ATLP, RV6 catback? No you don't need to. They start from the 3rd cat.

 

I got a greddy evo 2 on my Tl and love it! I bought mine used with low miles on it, and for a good price. I had been looking for a while and did a lot of homework on Tl performance when searching for an exhaust and Im glad i chose the greddy! It has a nice deep roar to it and vtec kicks in way harder!

 

The video was informative.

 

If you youtube you can find more

 

im not really looking for hp, just want a better sound, so xlr8 exhaust system by itself and keep stock j pipe is good?

 

sure.

why not?

you have all this information available to you.

the only way you'll know for sure is IF YOU experience it yourself.

so, go ahead and purchase something and get it over with.

 

No you do not.

Our XLR8 exhaust will pick up about 10 hp and tq but yes if you want just a better sound it will definitely do that.

 

if I got just a j pipe would that change the sound?

 

+1 for RV6!

 

ANY exhaust modification/replacement will alter the sound of the exhaust compared to stock.

 

^That.

Now the sound you are trying to get may vary based on your opinion and yours alone.

 

yup.. i agree... hence im just gonna buy a type S aspec and cut my bumper to fit the quads... i have mixed feeling on atlp... sometimes i like it, most times i dont lol

 

Rv6

 

Exactly, not a fan of UA7 look on a UA6, especially when it's not a total convert.

I used to love ATLP, reason I stopped is because the tone it has is similar to my Stage II set-up.
The tone is just more denser on the ATLP of course, could say cleaner and louder.

RV6 is totally something different. Sounds amazin. But has a deep tone. Which I did love actually.

ATLP is the one I haven't heard, but from the videos it always pulled my attention. It's exactly the tone I want, not deep but kind of M5 ish, more like a Treble, instead of Bass
Don't know how to explain it.. anyway that's why I really want to hear it in person or try it

 

Honestly, Marcus did an awesome job with this video showing the ATLP and the XLR8. I think the XLR8 is hands down the better sounding exhaust in the video but judge for yourself.
