Does anyone know where I can buy the OEM 2008 TL Type-S exhaust?

If not, I'm looking for a new exhaust to put into my 5speed A/T. I want the quad tip that gives me good performance and a nice note. I don't want people miles away to hear my exhaust, but I want it to sound decent with a nice kick to it. I don't mind getting the TypeS bumper either.

I will have my stock type S exhaust, and stock J pipe up for sale very soon. I just installed RV6 J pipe, and ATLP catback. I love it!! Oh yeah, and I have pcd for Richie on the way. Someone else has already asked for pictures so the it may be sold, but I will post for sale tonight or tomorrow.

you can do:

Pre-cat-deletes-->Jpipe--catback exhaust.

but realize that there are drawbacks to each mod.
I suggest you read up on these mods. Do your homework.


the only manufacture that sells the pre-cat deletes is RV6 Performance.
Richie also makes a high flow cat.

Now, we have two options for jpipes. we have XLR8 and RV6. Both Delete the 3rd cat.
the jpipe is the safest of the mods, as there are no drawbacks.
what are the drawbacks to the pre cat deletes and cutback exhaust? Also does anyone know of aftermarket cutback exhaust that keeps the look of the stock tips with the slant. One more thing i added the rv6 j-pipe and it just sounds a little more aggressive, if i went cat less would it get significantly louder and how would it sound am i better off just rv6 j-pipe and new cutbacks

I'm getting the HFPCs myself because 200cells at 3 cylinders is better than 0 cells at 3 cylinders. I need to investigate more about how smart it would be to couple my HFPCs with a race pipe before I pull the trigger.

Be safe and modify responsibly!

I agree with that guy. Running without a cat is bad for your health, other people's health, and the environment. I'm running on stock cat + stage 3 exhaust, but even so, when I and my friend stand behind the car listening to the note, the exhaust gas inhaled makes us dizzy.

How about stage 2 or 3 stock setup for around $100?

There are people like me who don't want to spend a grand on an exhaust system because we don't need that extra power for the dragstrip.

I started out with a stage 4 exhaust despite the mixed reviews, i loved the way it sounded. i was bored one day and took of the 2 end mufflers, now that shit was seriously loud, i was louder than Ferraris on clearwater beach no lie. but then i went and put netami high performance end mufflers on the back and i love it. now ive done a atlp v2 test pipe and over the summer i have my car scheduled to get a custom 3 inch true dual exhaust set up. just gotta find a place to reflash my ecu in tampa now

There's a lot of different opinions on the exhaust type. I got a 07 TLS AT5 and want to know what is the best set to get the most performance. All I got done is AEM CAI, 1.2" drop, 19" TSW.

We are partial of course but I believe our XLR8 exhaust system is a great performer with an awesome sound.

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-222774.aspx

XLR8 Performance Exhaust System are designed for function, form and style. Each exhaust system starts with T-304 stainless steel, known throughout the industry as the highest quality material practical for after-cat exhaust applications. All exhaust tubing is mandrel bent on sophisticated CNC machinery for a precise fit and uninterrupted exhaust flow. What’s more, the use of T-304 stainless steel flanges offers high strength and complete resistance to harsh elements. All hangers, resonators, and tips are T-304 stainless steel as well.

The mufflers used are built specifically for each system and are designed in accord with years of racing and street development invested into the design. Each muffler is tuned to match its application for the best possible performance gain and sound quality combination. Each muffler is polished to a high gloss beautiful finish; the rest of the stainless steel system is finished in a natural satin finish. The mufflers for this system are fitted with Purge Resonance Technology, a technology which significantly reduces drone (low speed exhaust note created at low RPMs).

Use the following link for a short video of the exhaust note:

I doubt anyone on here has ever bought those.

Pretty much anyone that wants high flow cats on this forum is buying the RV6 HFPC (on sale right now for about $550), and I would recommend you do the same if you're looking for a legal option for replacing the stock cats.

3 years ago I installed the ATLP Quad tip non resonated catback and LOVED the sound, and LOVED the staggered quad tips. The tips come straight out and look AWESOME

Just me experienced Opinion.

As far as headers are concerned I believe that is not an option. Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure they are built into the engine block and cannot be removed. As far as performance for dollar I have heard nothing but good things about the RV6 J-pipe and the gains are supposed to be pretty good.

precat deletes is hos only option as you are correct in there are no headers...from cylinder head into one exit is where you connect your Precat deletes....the cats are bolted right up to the cylinder head

Why has no one said turbos or supercharges? Those will be the best bang for your $$$$!!!
But like most people said I would go with the Jpipe first. Also the AEM V2 intake will be the best intake!! (Just ordered mine a few days ago)

Go with atlp j pipe and keep your 3rd cat. What's wrong with the stock cat back? I love the type s quad tips so I'd keep the stock cat back

Clearly you've never heard an aftermarket catback system on the TL

the point of modding is to have a clear set of goals.
without a goal, you're just throwing parts at the car, sometimes wasting money doing it over again.
My goal is performance...been reading the forums for weeks now im thinking atlp j pipe>>Race Pipe>>>v2 quad exhaust.. correct me if im wrong is this how the exhaust system works
