ATLP Exhaust and RV6 V3 J-Pipe
I'm putting this combination together come late april/early may, whenever the parts get shipped to me, on the site for the ATLP exhaust there is the option to add a resonator, what are the thoughts on this? I don't know how loud it will be without one...does anyone have this setup?

It's very subjective. I have ATLP Base res/RV6 Jpipe v3 and drone is fairly apparent inside the cabin in the 2-3k rpm range. I do think the car sounds pretty badass and throaty when you're rowing the gears though.
My buddy has an 06 as well with the ATLP quads non-res/RV6 jpipe v3, his is much louder and raspier. I don't think it sounds "bad" by any means but I could see some people thinking that his set-up is too loud for a daily driver.

Thanks. Your the only one to reply so I'm assuming that not alot have this setup, I'm just gonna put them on and see how it sounds and if I need to just add resonators.

rv6 v3 jpipe and xlr8 non-res quads here...no rasp whatsoever, and is not too loud either. some of you guys must have super sensitive ears or something.
OP, i say get the non-res and see how you like it. if it is too loud for you, then you can weld in a resonator down the road if you want.
i love the way mine sounds, i use SS 95% of the time so i can control the pitch/drone to an extent...and even so, it's not obnoxious or drone-crazy whatsoever.
oh, i also have the version1 xlr8 quads which DON"T have that "purge technology" that is supposed to reduce rasp/drone.

i have an AT so i use SS (sport shift) 95% of the time when i drive. you can control what gear you are in, rpm range to an extent...which helps with maintaining a nice exhaust note.
if you just cruise around in DRIVE, the car shifts by itself and you pretty much get the same exhaust noise no matter what.

The ATLP exhaust non resonated along with the RV6 V3 is pretty raspy. I had to sell the jpipe because of this.

Don't get me wrong, the set up sounded awesome but the rasp drove me nuts and wasn't attractive at all. I had to let the RPMs climb slowly just to reduce the amount of rasp so I don't get ugly stares from people lol. I'm probably going to get the ATLP V2 jpipe this summer, the exhaust is to quiet at the moment.

I could really only hear the rasp in the first and third video, the drive by sounds nice, it doesn't seem to sound that bad IMO but do you think adding the resonators would alleviate that rasp?

I wouldn't know. It could probably help for the most part. Once you get past that 2-3k rpm range it doesn't rasp. So at full throttle you don't get any. The launch vid is basically my everyday driving, so that's what I hear pulling from a stop sign or whatever else and just got annoying.

I wonder if one were to go with the ATLP V2 Jpipe you could avoid the potential 'raspyness' as the two were meant to work in unison?
Is there anyone that has this setup already that could chime in?
Currently trying to decide which Jpipe would best compliment the Base exhaust with minimal impact on the exhaust note.
Its pretty much either the RV6 V3 or the ATLP V2 at this point.
Ritchie's being a fan favorite as V3 has been a great success on its own but I haven't come across a direct comparison between it and the ATLP V2 Jpipe.

I'm sure you can get the resonated ATLP base exhaust and would be fine with the RV6 V3 jpipe. I wouldn't personally know but it makes sense.
This is with the full ATLP set up. (Exhaust, Jpipe)

WOT in the new ATLP V2s!
iTrader: (1)
Op if you are worried about it being too much, too loud go with the res. I had the non res with stock jpipe and it was too much for me since the car is used for business. I have personally heard it be more quiet on the base tl vs tl-s. I was told by atlp that having their jpipe and hfc help with drone, wish I could hear this in person.

I have the ATLP V2 Quads non-res and RV6 V3 J-pipe setup and it rasps from 2.5-4k rpms if I step on it hard.
I'm trying to figure out if adding a resonator will eliminate it. Please let me know when you get everything installed on how it sounds with the res.
Thanks and enjoy!

GODZILLA & 3G TL
I've had the ATLP resonated base exhaust & v2 jpipe on my TL for a little over a week, and I couldn't be happier with the combo. Yes, there is a bit of drone between about 1700-2300 rpm or so, but it isn't intrusive. It lets you know that you have a badass exhaust under the car actually. Varying pedal pressure cuts down on it even more, and if you stay at 1500 or go to about 2700-3k, it disappears completely. I do have the stock 3rd cat still in place, so the v3 pipe will open the pathway up even more. Bottom line, resonated version FTW...stealth when you want it to be, roars when you want it to also. Plus the tips are absolutely sick. Marcus can also add a resonator if you didn't do it during checkout, that's what he did for me. Just call him and he'll hook you up. Done.

RV6 V3 Jpipe w/ ATLP exhaust or the ATLP exhaust/Jpipe combo
I have an 08 TLS and I am thinking really hard about getting the RV6 V3 Jpipe w/ ATLP exhaust or the ATLP exhaust/Jpipe combo. Has anyone determined which is the better combo? And by better I mean the setup that has the better sound with the least rasp. I don't want anything that is going to be too loud or raspy. Also, I live in VA, does anyone know if I can still pass emissions?

I am kind of surprised how little rasp you can hear in the ATLP movie, considering both cars have no 3rd cat. Both of my previous cars had the same exhaust ( made by the same people ) and neither needed a resonator to sound smooth and clean. I just wonder what they sound like cruising around town... rasp would completely ruin it for me.
