every exhaust sold brings us closer to world peace.

and chuck norris doesnt own an ATLP exhaust... an ATLP exhaust owns chuck norris.


haha ok now on a serious note.. 1. the quality of welding and mandrel bending is great (guaranteed not to break or rust) as opposed to some exhausts that are crush bent, 2. I can't stop listening to the tone (very sleek and euro-ish), 3. the look is sexy (mm quads..), 4. the performance gain is there (throttle response improvements, hp increases), 5. its made by ATLP which is known for making quality parts for the TL, and the rest I cant think of any.. because mine is sitting in the garage waiting for me to install it

because this batch will be the last of the original design. Ready by Mid-December.

and because it sounds great, makes great power, and just looks right on the TL.

my guess is a re-design to help reduce costs in some way to make it more affordable, that or make it a j-pipe back instead of cat back...

I know but I mean he's taking in about $1100 revenue on each exhaust....you think that much steel costs more than that? I've never heard of a business that kept doing what it did while not being profitable.

The re-design of the ATLP exhaust is going to be for the base TL's because the quad ATLP exhaust fits only a type S a-spec rear and if you have a base model TL you would have to buy the Type S a-spec rear and modify the base rear to fit the quad exhaust.

Back to the main topic guys "Why this exhaust?"

Simply put, if you want a distinctive great sounding, high-quality built, oem looking, exhaust this is it. My question to you is.. "Why NOT this exhaust?"

Darn, I heard about the new design.. keep me informed MIKE!

Fabbing all that steel costs way more than the material itself.

yea 1100 in, but he's probably only profitting 50 bux, because his cost is probbaly 1050...

Its true he charges $1100.00 but who do you think makes the exhaust? Do you think hes in the garage with a welding torch popping these bad boys out? Stromung engineering gets a cut out of it im sure. How much mike makes on the ATLP catback we will never know. (its none of our business)

Why this exhaust...

Because it ran Barrack Obama's campaign. "it get's presidential results".

Look, I've done all the mods to my TL. All of them.

ATLP exhaust is #2 on the "best mod" list... only bested by the Supercharger.

NOT too loud, great sound, awesome looks.

I'm glad it's the last run... I'm confident my exhaust, properly maintained, will appreciate in value. Only mod I'd consider an "investment".

i was one of the originals to get this, in fact, like the first 1 or 2 shipped...

It is amazing and a tone that is unbeatable by other exhausts...i literally, SLAM on the throttle everytime i go under an overpass, in a tunnel or under a train tressel, JUST so i can hear my exhaust =) i dont care how much gas it wastes

mines got about 10k on it now... it sounds better and better as it breaks in

cause every dollar in ATLP's pocket = more mods made for us by a guy among us taking in OUR feedbacks. not some company headquartered on mars producing generic products to 10000000000 customers

This will be the last batch for the current quad exhausts. Reason being is we will be needing the capital to fund a few new projects, and I this is in fact, a limited exhaust run, as stated when first released.

ATLP any one

Want to buy a ATLP set up for my 08 Type S but would like to hear what it actually sounds like in person also what it might sound inside the car. Also what other parts do you have installed J-pipe, high flow cat, or straight pipe. I'm out in the I.E. Corona Riverside are if you are close by maybe we can do this this coming weekend... From what i heard this is the system to buy but just want to make sure. Also since we are an this should i keep the stock system just for the in-case or sell it. I seen the in here for decent price would make my new purchase be easier on the pocket book.Only have about 2600 miles so for.

they're not a big company in the sense of Apexi and Comptech. which is why it's better, cause like i said, theyre small enough to handle our feedbacks. but dont doubt them on quality, i have heard nothing but praise
