Idk what you're comparing it to

I'm pretty conservative with my car, so I'm sticking with the mid-muffler delete. IMO, the exhaust tone heard in the video is just too out of character for the car it's coming from. To each their own. Good luck, OP!

I understand but I'm in no way comparing the TRD to my GN. 500hp is a lot of hp but you have to figure it weighs over 5,000lbs. It will have straight line performance similar to a 300hp car. IMO it's average when comparing semi-sporty cars. The TL is a nice car for what it is and it's one of my favorite cars. I don't even hate the sound of yours. Like I said, I spent a fair amount of my early years from 17-22 with open exhaust until I could afford an exhaust that would not cost any hp over open exhaust. If you notice, some of the turbo TLs are pretty loud but no one says anything about it because they can back up the sound with performance. In the end it's your car so it doesn't matter what we say.
Already replaced with a magnaflow cat, and borla muffler. Getting a-spec front lip soon. then type-s back lights. I do have money to mod I just don't tend to waste all of it at once. Kinda need it for college. That wasn't me racing in the first place either. Street racings a waste of gas.
Working at olive garden sucks
oh angel eyes this sunday <3 interior is all blue led
*to everyone else
Out of all due respect. I'm sure this car would've measured up to what you expect it to be... if I was also over 30 years old, and had it for a long time with a decent cash flow of my own. Again out of all due respect I'm saying this. It's 1 thing to give suggestion, and then there's a cruel way to just talk crap. Suppose to be the elders with more experience right.. Then please send some suggestions this way instead of bashing. Or don't even comment at all.

Agreed. But then again, I've actually got a proper exhaust to make me want mine & closer to "straight-piped" than this.
See here for Turbo M3 goodness.

Maybe quicker than yours.

typical stuff when parents buy their high school kids luxury cars. The parents tell them they cant have sports cars so they buy luxury cars and try to rice em out/make em loud etc. No offense OP this isnt a direct knock at you.

TL is not even a decent car in the first place to spend thousands in performance modifications just to haul ass with

Perhaps the phrase "patience is virtue" applies here. The exhaust tone would be more at home with this American muscle. I think the discussion here may have gone another direction if it was the Camaro instead of the TL featured in your video.

^^^ qft
suggestion: Stage 1, 2, and 3 > your straight piping... they all cost the same... find the stock exhaust and pick a stage... your car will sound better and be just as fast or even faster than its current state.
and before you ask, use the search button for the thread on all the stages. (saving you more flaming)

woah woah woah.. I got this 2007 TL with about 31,000 miles on it for $18,500 with an extended 50,000 mile warranty.... No accidents nothing car was fully clear. My parents didn't force me this I wanted it because it was a steal at this price, and I kinda didn't want to wait another month to get the Camaro. TL's a semi luxury sports sedan. Luxury would be my Fathers 750li. sports car would be our familys M6.

p.s. for the record, your TL is not a 2007. its an 04-06 model. mileage is good but not sure how good of a deal you think you got man.

hey OP since ur saying ur on a low budget, you can always put ur TL on a serious diet like Inaccurate has and then maybe your car can sorta back up that sound....since u said it's a project don't know how gutted you want to have it look.
LOL yeah and sell us all your parts so there will be no turning back

Low end torque acceleration you could literally feel the car just blowing air, and barely picking up. But after 40-50 it would pull hard.
