just got rear ended last night. exhaust is pretty much done. whats the best sounding exhaust out right now for the TL-S? i wanted to go with greddy but it looks like they don't make that anymore. any suggestions?

 

That's really subjective. However my opinion is the atlp exhaust because it's more mellow. This is a question only you can answer. YouTube is your friend here. Try Acura tl atlp exhaust and Acura tl xlr8 exhaust and choose your favorite.

 

xlr8, atlp, rv6

all very good

 

RV6 true dual, then ATLP the XLR8...

 

LOL at wanting the best sounding exhaust, but wants a greddy.


as you can see, every one has different opinions because its very subjective.

obviously you take a liking to the greddy, even tho its discontinued and the ricest option of them all in sound and looks....

you're better off with the XLR8, ATLP, or the RV6

 

I don't have any exhaust mods on my car, but if I were to I guess it would be either the stage 1 or 2, or XLR8 resonated system. Can't stand the look of the ATLP tips, atleast on the Type S. RV6 is nice, but expensive, and from what I can tell it would be too loud for my liking.

 

actually, the rv6 is the quietest system out of the three.

i'm fully bolted too, lol, and its tame compared to my buddy's custom magnaflow exhaust.

my friend with the High flow cats and jpipe and resonated XLR8 sounds like a ferarri.

and his system is much louder than my pre-cats, jpipe and Rv6 True duals.

 

For real though all the vids of the catbacks dont sound the same. I got my xlr8 exhaust and it does sound exotic when moving, the reving in park doesnt sound anywhere near the true sound as when your moving. Ferrari ftw

 

LOL, i always hated videos of people revving in park or neutral.

Under load, the car sounds very different.

 

Right i mean it sounds good, but fly by is 100x better. After i got mine installed i reved it and was happy. Then i floored it down the parkway and was like dayummmm. And OP you dont want greddy. Just sayin.

 

^
No kidding, I like drive by videos and in the cabin ones the best. I hate it when someone sets a camera up behind the bumper then gets in and just revs the piss out of it.

 

ATLP base......

 

No one has mentioned the Comptech system? I love my Comptech! Quiet and humble...the perfect sound for our car in my opinion.

 

Now look what's happened, an exhaust debate.

 

XLR8 is the best but I think I may be biased.

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. And we include PRT in our mufflers, Purge Resonance Technology, which is a technology that significantly reduces drone.

 

thanks for the inputs guys. ima pull the trigger on the xlr8 dual

 

If XLR8 only made better tips for the Base TL but overall the XLR8 exhaust system sounds like a beast

 

^ have u seen them in person? Because i love the look.

 

^ yes I have but I still like the Square Rectangular look like the Base ATLP or Rockstar's new look but thats just me

 

Borrowed from rockstar143's pics
The sound of the XLR8 exhaust with rockstar143's tips

 

damn that duck bill is sick. where can i find one of those

 

The ass shot of the ATLP goes harder than all else imo... Looks more vip to me

 

I love my ATLP base non resonated.

 

love my v2 rv6 exhaust

 

Love my XLR8

 

If I had an insurance check coming and wanted a completed catback I'd go RV6 true dual, but IMHO you'd probably get a better bang for the buck going custom.

 

I love my RV6!!!!!!!!!

 

Love my RV6!

 

Mine...


... But I may be biased. RV-6 FTMFW!!!

 

Xlr8 ftw I think the rv6 is too tame my mechanic took one look at my xlr8 catback and basically drooled over it

 

I tried to get an in cabin video, didnt quite work.

 

XLR8 all the way. Im in love with the way it sounds. Had mine for about a year and a half now.

 

Tsudo ftw

 

greddy for the mafuckin win

 

What do most people go with? Xlr8 resonated or non? I want it to be lous but no super loud peope say the non res sounds like a g35 and i dont want that i want something with a lil pur but doenst get me pulled over everywere i go

 

if you read this thread, most people go which ever route they please.

from the XLR8 res, XLR8 non, RV6 TD, to the ATLP.....
and every one's ears are going to be different.

what you may find loud, another person will think its just right.

seriously, did you not read this thread???


some people have went the XLR8 non resonated route, and found that it was indeed too loud...all they did was simply add a resonator... to tone or quiet down the exhaust.

 

I want loud stupid loud exhaust

 

Smh

 

No exhaust just pcds!!

 

No headers just engine.
