So I'm looking to get an exhaust setup on my 07 base. Im looking for the sound close to that of an infinity or 350z but a touch louder without rasp. Also looking to gain as much total HP as possible(isn't everyone?) I currently have a rv6 v2 jpipe and would like to know where to go from there. Here's my options I'm looking at.....

-PCD's(rv6 or xlr8)
-test pipe(so many options) or high flow 3rd cat
-xlr8, ATLP, or evo2/evo3 catback exhaust(if available when I purchase)
-possible resonator

I also have an aem v2 and p2r spacer for the vehicle(not that it really matters LOL)

Anyone who can post a list of their mods, pics, videos, thoughts, ect to help me decide would be a huge help. Thanks again!

ill try to post some videos of the greedy so you can get a idea of how it sounds with RV6 PCDs, ATLP test pipe and j-pipe and a resonator. also some pictures of how the car looks with the greddy, if i have pictures of my ATLP set up on my car ill post those as well

smily_sleepyeyes

that would be awesome. i really like the one i heard already but it was very limited. im hoping they get the evo3 ready by the time i decide lol

Our XLR8 resonated exhaust has been described as having an almost exotic note. It isn't really raspy but it is throaty at WOT.

I too have a P2R spacer, AEM v2 intake, and rv6 V3 j-pipe.

I went with the Stage 3 exhaust mod to get an exhaust note similar to that of the G35. (pretty cheap mod).

Now, trying to save money for a rv6 true dual exhaust.

Thanks for the replys. Any pics videos? I've seen lots on you tube but nothing real definative as to what I'm looking for. Maybe some of the videos don't do justice but I have seen some good ones as well.

here are some pictures, ill upload the video once it finishes uploading to photobucket.

smily_sleepyeyes

I really like the tip size on those. will those fit on the base or would I need to change to the type-s/aspect lip/rear?

Sickboy722

they should fit on a base model. my tl is a 06 base model with front and rear aspect lips and it fits just fine, even with my new rear type s aspec lip.

On a side note your car looks awesome .

that was right when i finished my exhaust. so startup kind of rough but doesnt do taht anymore.

rooster415

i have rv6 pcds/ rv6 jpipe/ fujita cai/ quad tips no mufflers

Sickboy722

don't know if my video showed up put can someone try to click on the last picture i posted to see if it plays, don't know how to post a video using photo bucket. I'm uploading it on youtube right now but taking a long time.

Sickboy722

thanks

rooster415

i dont think i see it

Sickboy722

sounds nice

Sickboy722

darn. ill just wait till it finishes uploading on youtube and ill post it. thanks

Sickboy722

Sickboy722

finally got it lol

rooster415

damn that sounds raspy ? but i like the sound aggressive

Sickboy722

yeah its a bit raspy, need to get a bigger resonator.

smily_sleepyeyes

What size resonator dobyou have? I like the sound but I'm not sure its really what I'm looking for

On mine, I used Magnaflow#12640, it removed the rasps and cabin drones..but others can get away by Magnaflow#12646

bouncer07

After doing a long research on exhausts and sound... XLR8 has been very exotic sounding and not too high pitch at wot. Check them out.

smily_sleepyeyes

im leaning either towards that or the evo2/3(if available) only problem is do i...

pcd it....or not.

test pipe...or high flow cat....or neither

resonate or not

so many freaking options!!!

rooster415

if your going for sound vs power i would go rv6 pcds->rv6 jpie>evo 2/3 but you might need to get a bigger resonator as you will get raspy around 3-5k rpm but im not sure about the evo 2 but i know you will get raspy. if you going to get a test pipe mind as well save up 2 - 3 hundred more and get the jpipe more power if you cant pass smog with pcds get the hfpc

rooster415

i mean if your looking for power and sound sorry.

rooster415

thanks sounds like a muscle car or dirt bike before at startup

rooster415

get a longer resonator i have 2 right now and no mufflers. when i engage vtec it sounds crazy but i think its a little too loud i might just get 1 really long resonator

bouncer07

^^ really sounds like it's in need of more fuel when start up.

rooster415

maybe bad injectors? im hopefully getting a dyno this weekend so probabbly that will tell me? but yeah. that start was a super cold start doesnt sound like taht anymore thoguh ?

bouncer07

For me with previous Fujita intakes on a K20 and Accord, they tend to stall and run lean without a piggy back to support it. I love the intake, but with it running lean all the time, the injectors will get hit first leading to some back fire at high rpm or bad gas mileage.
If you were to go on the dyno, try back to back the stock intake vs the F5 intake plus all your tasteful mods. (stock intake would be a pain to install put would be nice test it on a friends car that has a stock intake)

kingkong_dav

wow that thing is wicked loud.

I have the Xlr8 v2 quads with res, v1 jpipe and test pipe on my car and I LOVE IT!!!! When it backfires, total Sexxxyness. It's hard for me to drive "normal" with the way the car sounds. Pretty sure people gonna chime in and be bias and say atlp is better or whatever. I've never heard any of the other exhaust systems so I can't say much but Xlr8 has a very very nice sounding exhaust system. Loud enough but not too loud but loud enough for me. With people in the car and radio off I can hold a convo without the exhaust over powering.
Hope this little bit of info helps out anyone who is looking to buy an exhaust system.

rooster415

well ill see what the dyno says first. and now that i think about it since i put in the cai i started feeling the low rpm surges and i eat more gas but taht was beacuse of the pcds and jpipe and i drive a lot more aggressive after those 2 mods. umm the cai did have a hole in it but i patched it up . was thinking about getting a new one but dont wanna spend money on a cai when this one workign good

smily_sleepyeyes

So its all xlr8? Do you have a video?

x2 very interested
