I would love to hear before and after clips of a stage 1 07 TL-S. This would be the only thing I would do, maayyybeee stage2.

I dont think anyone has done stock vs stage1 clips for 07 TL-S. Want to see if its even worth cutting into my stock exhaust.

The stage 1 clips of the 06 WDP sounded nice, but there was no stock clip to compare.

Honestly to me, I can't tell the difference between stage 1 and stock.

Even in stage 3-you won't be able to tell the difference that much inside, but outside it sounds really really good

Im just worried that the stage 2 will sound like the stage 3 which i do not like at all. Stage 3 is a little bit ricey IMO. I didnt see a stage 2 clip of an 07 tls on here. Do you have one?

Stage 2 and stage 3..neither are ricey at all. Stage 3 which is louder, is definitely quieter than the G35 coupes. The sound is probably exaggerated in videos but either way you go, know that you're making a safe decision.

07 TLS Stage 1

The first load of the vid did not go well. Here you go !!!

2007 TLS Stage 1. I love the sound its perfect. Any louder and it would be a little bit annoying in cabin while cruising.

Added that aggressive low end grunt that the car was really missing. You can really tell the difference when cruising through town.

Once you start getting over 4000 rpm there isnt really much of a difference

Just got my Stage 3 done, got hooked up by Mike (aznbo187) .

Initial Impressions:

(1)The exhaust tone is deeper/throatier throughout the whole rev. band.
(2)Volume has to be turned up (+2) to maintain same sound.
(3)Vtec "kick-in" is a tad bit less noticeable.

Overall, I'm satisfied, and it definitely does have more of the "hum" of the Infiniti "G" cars .

Got a quote for $110 for a ma and pa shop in Chicago. Why so expensive? They don't get that this is easy shit or just want to rip me off. Advice on how to bring them down?

(if there is still any doubt then go right ahead and overpay for a job that only cost at most $50)

I finally got mine done today! I did stage 3 and I love it. Its the perfect sound, not loud, but has that sporty sound. I got it all done for $50 at mieneke. They did a great job, watched them the whole time.

My good friend has a 350z and my coworker has a g35. My stage 3 is very very close to the sound of their cars. My friend actually likes my sound better because it is slightly deeper. 3000-3500 rpm is where it sounded most like his car.
