All custom. cost half as much and sounds just as good if not better

ethan did you use a resonator???

trancemission

no sir, just straight pipe to the Y. its a stage 3948576-38474 exhaust

fiore8072

now you know what im talkin about. crazy drone LOL. I've gotten a ticket cause my exhaust is to loud. but a cop saw me do a u turn and i had been drinkin a little bit. i guess u can say i got lucky and we were smokin a bowl.
i should of went with the smaller cans. im eventually gonna get the Greddy i think. thanks again!

greddy is same size can tho ... I think hks looks sick

topckret

Sorry CT guys, imho, GReddy ftw. I've had Comptech and I just don't like how the actual mufflers (or some may refer to it as canisters) are so undersize and lean looking. They looked just like magnaflow or flowmaster passenger car universal mufflers just polished. I like some meat on my cans, especially with my 10" wide rear wheels. ATLP looks and sounds very nice as well.
I think it just comes down to, do you like quads or not. If the noise is too much, which by the way, the tone has gotten a LOT MORE milder since I've got it installed. The GReddy note is and always will be pure sex... And I think for the TL, the big tips work in favor to fill the huge square-ish cutouts.

GReddy=ATLP>Comptech.

I live in the city we don't have driveways LOL I was coming from a white sox game and there was mad traffic. I just want a more cleaner look stillhere. Plus the pipes are not maderal bent and looks Shitty underneath cause its all welded together. The time will come.

GReddy Performance

I've read through the entire thread and here are some of my comments.

*Greddy exhaust is full stainless steel, including flanges & hangers, and includes a 3 year warranty for the original purchaser.

*I've noticed a lot of the other systems have slip joints, this is a much cheaper method for joining parts, and they tend to leak as well. having that said...

*Greddy uses stamped flanges for durability and lightness (as opposed to solid, heavy flanges--where possible). These are more expensive to use than slip joints, but better quality.

*As most have stated, the greddy is on the louder side, this being from the vote for more power vs. loudness (group buy vote).

*There currently is no silencer for the Evo2, but a custom silencer can be made to fit. All a silencer is, is an adapter to make the outlet of the exhaust smaller, hindering flow and thus suppressing sound.

^ YOU ROCK

that puts I dunno... every speculation to rest

dmb4325

yea not always true, i read about someone taking out the greddy mid pipe and put in the stock resonator and got rid of the greddy drone...go greddy, comptech parts blow

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

^ yea but most people dont want to hack up a $700-1000 exhaust

dmb4325

totally true but i guess if its something that bothers you then do what you gotts to

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

comptech brand new = $1050
ATLP brand new = $1050
XLR8s exhaust = $900
Greddy brand new = $700 (i think)

lembowski

Well you wouldn't even have to hack it up. You can just have a muffler shop remake the straight pipe in the system with a resonator in it. Keeps the Greddy system as new if your worried about resale. Might cost $75 to get this done, which I'm planning on doing as soon as the atlp j-pipe is in my hands.......hopefully soon.

Greddy was $650 (shipped) in the group buy. I'm pretty sure you can't have a custom made system with the quality of materials made for that price. If all I have to do is get a resonator put in, I'm still extremely happy with my purchase. Out of everything I have on my car, the Greddy gets the most compliments.

We had a small meet a few weeks back (maybe 7 3rd Gen's), and everyone thought that those people that sold their Greddy because it was too loud were foolish......its quieted down alot! But I still want to silence the drone alittle just because of my new job and clients that will be in the car

So in conclusion I think that the Atlp system is badass, but I still perfer the tips/cans on the greddy........for looks alone I'm not a quad fan.

I must say we have to give props to Greddy for giving us TL's such a great price for a top notch cat back exhaust system for only $650 vs $1050 for other systems available out there. I am sure Greddy could of sold this system for $1050 and people will still buy it.

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

^ yea i do agree... hell of a price... $650 was the group buy, i think its like $700 or $750 now??


^^ and yea, most people dont realize that any and every exhaust system will quiet down once its broken in. I felt my ATLP Was a little too loud at the beginning, but its quieter now. However, i also just want to minimize that slight interior drone. Im thinking about buying the mid-pipe w/ resonator the mike will be producing shortly

EVeryon is entitle to their opinion.

I will go with Greddy.

Can't staND comptecH

Can't stay cutting up my bumper for ATLP

Kennedy

iTrader: (2)

That's OK...

Cutting up my bumer for the ATLP was the best saturday I've spent in long time.

It's all a matter of perspective.

anx1300c

iTrader: (2)

I'd say it's more a matter of one growing accustomed to the exhaust sound and perceiving it as being quieter. I think a decibel meter would tell a different story, since as any exhaust system's baffles break in and develop carbon build up, they will become less effective in their ability to muffle sound, to varying degrees.

I am a new owner of 08 TL Type S and was wondering if the Greddy Evo2 will fit on the 08 TL because i've been looking around and didn't seem to find any 08 years. If you know any please let me know the place so i can quickly get em on to my car.

thanks alot

scotterson

iTrader: (4)

Nope. Some people want the greddy so bad that they swap their 08 rear bumper for an 04-06 bumper.

iTrader: (1)

"some" you mean me

I've yet to find a bolt on (excludes the comptech s/c) intended for the base that doesn't fit the type s

dmb4325

Without a resonator though isnt it really raspy or are the magnaflow mufflers taking care of that, you have a sound clip or video on you tube or anything?
