when experimenting with exhaust, its just that...experimenting...

No one will know how it will sound until you put it on.. if you dotn like the sound, change it or go back to stock.

I went with RV6 True duals.
however, if I had to do it again, probably would keep my car stock.

its loud, it drones, its irritating, etc.. .

but i did not know how it was going to sound before i put it on, as each set up is different and youtube cannot create the same sounds... .

so.... I experimented and would likely not do it again.

thus why some one cant tell you which route to go....

you as a person, will have to make the best educated guess, you can....then if you dont like the sound either keep experimenting or go back to stock.

i just deal with the noise.

Our XLR8 exhuast sounds throaty and aggressive without being annoying or "ricey". It gives the TL an exotic tone and is made here in the US from T304 stainless. We also offer it resonated or non resonated!

I got the ATLP quads. It's loud and you probably won't get used to it for awhile since our car wasn't built to subdue that tyoe of sound. It does not sound ricey though, it sounds aggressive

Along with getting a complete catback system, you can also try modifying your factory exhaust system by remove/replacing the mid-muffler and resonator.
Here's a great link for your reference:
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...1811-a-589747/

I currently have the Stage 3 exhaust mod (mid-muffler delete and Dynomax resonator). It definitely makes the car sound more aggressive, but I'm currently on the fence of welding on different mufflers to get a deeper tone, or going for a complete catback.
But hey, like stated before, it's all about experimenting to see which setup works perfectly for you.
