You have a base TL, the only exhaust that will not fit is the ATLP quads. You need a Type-S bumper to fit them or cut your bumper.

+1 on comptech. I'll probably spring for that system myself down the road...

ATLP looks badass, but I've heard it can be pretty loud.

XLR8 looks great also, and they're incorporating new tech now to cut drone out almost completely...don't know of anyone with this new tech though.

If you're looking to spend less than $1k on the system itself, XLR8 and comptech are the way to go. Could get a custom system (usually magnaflow), but you have a higher chance of rasp and drone too.

I don't think you can use the tsudo cat-back either if you have the a-spec kit.

They are all pretty much full exhausts. Our 3rd cat is right off the Jpipe so it pretty much is a full exhaust. Also, it's another way for business to make money as to sell Jpipes seperate. The only "headers" for this car are the pre cat deletes, our exhaust manifolds are cast into the heads, therefore can't be changed for real headers. Chips aren't available for the TL or none seem to work, the ECU ends up overriding it. There is hondata that works from what i remember seeing a member with that. Someone else can chime in who has more knowledge about what reflashes or about hondata working on our car.
