I've heard all three in person and these are my cliff notes:

Evo: Sounds great outside, if you can eliminate the rasp. Crap load of drone inside the cabin. Not just loud, but it has an undesirable resonance that vibrates the cabin.

ATLP: Minimal drone in comparison to loudness outside. European exhaust note. Sexy muffler/tips. More expensive and harder to order.

XLR8: Sounds great outside, fairly loud as well. Not a big fan of the tips, personally.

which in your opinion gives the closest sound to that of the 350 or infinity? also do you know if any of the setups had anything other than catbacks?

-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!


My advice:

Skip the PCDs unless you want rasp (and you said you don't)

A 3rd cat delete is going to be a big help. ATLP one will bolt right in.

All the mentioned systems are great, but the ATLP gets my not for sound quality (surprised anyone? Seriously it does sound sweet).

Skip the resonator unless you don't take my advice and get the PCDs
