Does the ATLP exhaust require manual transmission?
This is probably the silliest question you guys will read on this forum, but I don't know jack about cars.
I am not an acura owner yet, but I've been watching videos of the ATLP exhaust on a TL. I love how it sounds. i was just wondering if you require manual for an exhaust like that.
I do not know how to drive manual, so chances are when I buy a TL it will be auto. I'm scared that auto won't be able to work with an exhaust like that. Am I wrong?
Thank you for the quick reply. Honestly I've never been a "car head" and I know nothing about cars. I'm not one of those people. But I feel like people will laugh if they know I'm driving an auto transmission with a nice exhaust. not that i care, if it works, I'll do it when i get the chance :P
But will it sound worse with an auto tranny? I would assume manual would bring out the "beast" in it more...but maybe I'm wrong and it's the same?
Also, if i literally bought just the exhaust on a stock type s (2007 is what i hope to get) and had it installed, would it be ok or would i have to get a lot of other parts just to make it sound good?
Yeah, yeah, they're shitty pics, but it's all I'm taking. I don't like showing my car and yes, I realize it's dirty as hell.
I haven't heard any other TL exhausts, but I really like this one. At first I didn't like how one pipe was so much shorter than the adjacent one (I prefer the Type S look better, where both tips are cut at an even angle), but, I think these tips look shitty in photos and great in person. Go figure.
Oh, and Truongthe- suck it. Don't make me put a bagel in the photos
Honestly I think the TL base one looks better than the quad, but since i'll get a type s when it is time to move to acura, I'll be forced to do the quad

I don't mean this to be a silly question but for a guy that doesn't know much about cars, why are you looking into upgrading the exhaust? People do it for performance purposes (and vroom vroom-sound). What's your reasoning?

Screw what people think, if you like it then it's ok. I just installed ATLP quads on my stock type s. I enjoy every time I drive into a garage.
I just want something that's louder than the stock engine. I've never been the racing type, love driving but i prefer luxury over sport. This isn't about performance. I just want something that'll sound louder.
