hmmm..wonder what the price of this interesting addition will be.....

 

probably the same price as the other atlp exhaust... like 1000 ish.

 

Update in 10 days??

 

i hope mikey would cut us a nice deal since this aint no quads and i guess its a lil easier to make then those quads.... plz come up wit a good price range maybe below a 1g IMO 900 its great!!! lol

 

i 4got to mention would it sound the same as the Quads ATLP??

 

It should sound very similar, but we still have to do a few sound checks to be sure.

 

That would be sweet.

 

Day 11, did the prototype come back to your specs?

 

Is there any option for a longer resonator like the one stock so reduce 0 cabin noise??

 

They just sent it out. I'll let you guys know the day it's expected to arrive when the tracking information updates.

 

If your looking for 0 cabin noise, in all honesty stock is your best option. With any sport exhaust, you will see increased sound, but drone is different, and IMO it's very minimal with this system.

 

oopss I mean drone.

 

Can you give any hint as to the size of the tip? I don't really want to cut the RJ rear.

 

damn the anticipation is killin me

 

damn guys, give the man a break. I'm sure he's trying his best to get these things done in a quick manner for us. He doesn't HAVE to be pushing to get these made. He HAS his exhaust. Other people love his quad tip exhaust, and they're selling well, so he doesn't HAVE to go out and get another set just to please other who want a "sleeper" look.

So if he says 10 days, and they don't send it out to him til day 11, and he can't tell us til day 12, 13, or maybe even 14th day, just calm down.

I have no fears that he would hide any info from us when he gets it, so just wait patiently.

I know many of us wait in anticipation for this, but it's much easier to wait when you're not counting down the days when something is SUPPOSED to show up/arrive.

 

It's hard to wait when you know it's going to be awesome, but good things come to those who wait ...

Thanks for putting this together Mike

 

Mike, it's great that you're finally hooking us up with an exhaust tailored to the base TL's. But are we going to see similar gains and sound as the Type-S's? I would love to see an extra 11 hp from this!

 

Just go Stage 3 if you want absolutely no drone. Even with a huge resonator, free flowing performance mufflers will create some minor drone.

 

Gains should be identical, as we are keeping almost all of the exhaust systems similar, if not the same.

Shipment for revised sample tips are in transit. They should be here Tuesday.

 

Hey Mikey... any info on the shipment? for them base tips, did u receive them 2day??

 

any dyno? any sound clips? res or no res? how hp? me intrested

 

Here is the latest prototype.

Fitment is perfect. Size I love...as well as the look.




Now, here is the dilemma.

Because this tip is angled only from top to bottom, not side to side (a la TL-S side slant) it looks GREAT on the Base A-spec rear lip, however, it looks like a sore thumb on a base - stock bumper (without a kit). The sides just stick out too much, and especially since it's bigger, it shows a lot more than stock.

What I want to know is this. Because it looks good on the a-spec, are most people, if not all, planning to get this with the A-spec kit anyway? Are there even any that aren't going to get a rear lip kit, or don't plan to?

The bad: We can have it slanted just like stock. This will make it look good with the base bumper and a-spec kit. But it will also increase the cost a little based on the fact that two separate tools, one for each side, have to be created. It will also take another 10-14 days until I can get that final sample here.

 

how much increase in cost? and those are sex btw.

 

Is that how the inside of the tip going to look like on the finished product? I like how the inside of the ATLP quads look with those holes. I say leave it the way it is. You can't please everyone. There are about 60-70% that has the A-Spec kit. And I'm sure we aren't going to be happy either if the tips are hidden. The worst the non A-Spec ppl can do is get the kit.

 

we need to see the complete prototype on the car to really make any comments, but so far so good!

 

Is this exhaust going to be resonated like the type-s Mike?

 

For my I would keep the tips the way they are. My question is, what are the dimensions of the tips? I NEED to check to see if they clear the RJ rear.

 

thats hot, i like i like!!

 

+1

 

I love it!

and yeah... will the inside of the tip have the detail of the quad pipes? (with the holes?)

 

I'm not planning on getting the a-spec kit so it would be nice to have the option to have it work with both base and a-spec kit...

If I do decide to get the kit it probably would only be the front lip.

 

Those tips are good enough for me! I also want to know if this exhaust is going to be resonated as well. I didn't enjoy sound of the non-resonated quad exhaust in person. I have aspec to keep the tips the way they are so we can get our exhaust!

 

I vote to keep the tips the way they are. Good work aznbo187 .

 

Looks good! Too bad I got the Type-S bumper on my o4...

 

Id rather pay alittle extra for the exhaust then be forced to get the aspec kit.

 

Tips looks amazing Mike!!! cant wait to see the finished product...

 

Personally...I think these look very unique. I like em and would rock em....JMO though.

 

Yeah Mike I agree with Italiano. Having the tips slanted to follow the lines of a a non A-spec and A-spec bumper seems like it would flow better and have a cleaner look without having to buy another mod. Having the pipes sticking out to me, would cheapen the design of the exhaust. Waiting an extra 14-days is nothing for a quality piece. Thanks again Mike for presenting us with some different options and being so open to feedback.

 

Again...a good one IMO. I would slant the tips though as you mention is possible and get the extra tooling if it wasnt overly cost prohibitive due to the greater fitment and wider audience of both base and A-Spec. Impressive development work! Kudos!

 

any idea of when we can see the exhaust mounted?
