I think you can get the just the resonanted tube from Heeltoe separately, although I think its gonna be alittle $$$.
I since I took off my V3 jpipe from richie, my atlp's are soooo much more quieter. Drove her into work with the OEM Jpipe and already miss the sound she made with the jpipe. Oh well, I know its going to a good home!

Guys, I'm a nube but I have read a lot of different threads about this and have spoken to Marcus over at Heeltoe and from the EXTENSIVE research I've conducted, I basically concluded that the issues with rasp is created if your CATS are altered, modified or deleted. I've also learned that it's all about what your preference is. Some guys don’t mind rasp and some even like it because their main concern is power and speed. I personally would like to get some power but not to the point where my car is going to sound like a
f-ing rice burner. I chose to buy the ATLP Quads and will soon buy the ALTP J-pipe as that doesn't affect or involve any mods being done to the CATS. In essence you need to decide if you want max power or more power with great sound. Max power will involve deleting your cats which then will cause rasp. Again, I am a nube and none of this information necessary factual.

As a matter of fact we are planning to offer resonated pipes for individual sale. The price on them is to be $189.
Note that the resonator will help cover up excessive tones but we can't promise it will eliminate whatever sounds you get that you don't like. Generally people find the resonators are very effective, but exhaust sounds are pretty subjective.

Fak I wish this was available like 6 months ago, I needed it bad! My only solution was to find someone with a resonated exhaust and switch the pipes out, if they even wanted my non-resonated.

Drone
Drone is subjective. I am sure the same sound is there for everyone with the same exact setup.
I have an ATLP quad with ATLP V2 Jpipe, and it does drone when I first got it. It still does drone but not as much, maybe the mufflers broke in and maybe i'm tone deaf now.
Anyway, if you want to add a resonator, it is a balancing act and will give you headache. Maybe just maybe you will find the right resonator with the right length welded int he right position to eliminate said drone.
Anyway, with the performance gain and sweet sound of the exhaust note, it's worth it.

Here's what you will experience:
First day: Cool, a little loud though
Next week: I feel pressure in my ear drums
Next week: I'm getting a headache
Next week: Ok I think I can stay out of the drone range while driving
Next week: Still loud
Next week: Ok not too bad
Next week: I'm used to it now, and it's awesome!
here's what the shop guys said "You can spend all day and money to weld one one and move it up or down the exhaust pipe, different size resonator, and you may never get the tone you are looking for, it takes years of research to get the right resonator for the right exhaust to eliminate drone"
I would get the resonated version, hopefully the people who produced it will know better on where and what resonator. Mike from ATLP said the Vibrant ultra quiet is a good one, I used Magnaflow and it didn't work.
but if you search you will tons of people on here experimenting with resonators to quiet down the drone and they have all had not much luck.
The thing is, you have an aftermarket exhaust, you may never eliminate the drone, the system was not made for this car from factory.

But don't get discouraged, after 2 months of driving in it, it's awesome, I love the sound... I enjoy the "drone"
and I know even resonated, it is still loud on the outside. One time I drove through my gf's neighborhood and she told me, "I can hear your car" I was far away. AWESOME!
The best is when you take it to a shop and the technician starts the car when you are behind it, the ignition sound is awesome

Damn, I can't imagine cutting up the exhaust to stick a resonator in. I couldn't do that after I forked over a $1000 for it. I'd just get the resonated version from the beginning, it does cut down on drone vs non resonated (from previous experience)

Thanks Pizzaman, i think i am going to go with the resonated exhaust. And yeah i think i read every thread on drone and rasp and you right its gonna have some. I guess its all gonna come down to what my comfortable zone is gonna be.

However, rasp is a different story, but since my setup doesn't involve RV6 jpipe, i can't speak on that.
#66
Well we'll have to see if a resonator will help with that, right?

This thread is confusing me, just to be clear with my option. I have ATLP V1 resonated version and Im on the market for the jpipe. What worries me is the rasp not the drone (I don't mind the drone at all) if I install RV6 jpipe V3.
Just tell me if those combo produce rasp or not, so I can pull the plug to buy it right away.

I think basically what is being said is that with the non resonated ATLP and the RV6 V3 jpipe you will have rasp, how much I don't know but you could look at the videos posted, I don't believe anyone has the resonated ATLP w/ RV6 V3 jpipe that commented on this thread so noone can say what that will sound like (with or without rasp). I just got the jpipe in and just waiting on the resonted ATLP do come in and once installed I'll post some videos

Go Pats!
ok can any of u guys tell me if this set up will have rasp or not, i dont mind the drone sound as long its not too much.

I think some of you are confusing rasp with the 4-cylinder tinny sound. The rasp is not the same sound you hear when it revs high and get that tinny sound as you would a little civic that cuts of their mufflers. At least this is what im gathering from trying to listen to the videos and understand y'alls comments. Im looking at purchasing an exhaust set up as well but i like the smokey "rasp" sound but hate the tinny sound that i tend to hear more with the tl's that have the PRD. I am hoping the the high flow cats from Richie wont have the same tinny noise.
Perhapds its me that is just confused but i think there is a little dialect barrier here of the usage of the word "rasp".

Exhaust is installed and it sounds awsome! I have no rasp at all and the drone is minimal to non-existent. The sound is exactly what I was going for. Will hopefully get up some videos this weekend!
#77
So you have ATLP quads non resonated and rv6 v3 j pipe? Cuz I have ATLP quads non resonated and ATLP j pipe and race cat and wanted to get the rv6 v3, any videos? any difference in power???

I decided to go with the resonated system just because of what I heard about rasp, it sounds nice, I couldn't imagine how loud the non resonated would be but I think it would be too much. I'm gonna try to get some vids this weekend. It seems to pull alot harder expecially in third gear and anytime you let the vtech kick in!
