my

 

here .. cleaned it up a little bit... this idea is a more "staggered" approach, where as the one above ....the tips are like inverse trapazoids.. both ideas look kinda cool IMO

 

i need to go to sleep... im getting photo-shop happy...

heres another idea mike...

 

Now these I'm DIGGIN!

 

I like the rectangular look more than the stock square tips. Rectangular tips fill up more of the existing cutout and have a simple, clean look that's more aggressive than the stock square tips.

 

What about doing a 'use stock tips' option that didn't have any tips? This way you could do the Porsche tips catback for the base TL with a 'use stock tips' option for those who want square tips. Or just buy some stock tips and have a 'stock tips' option.

People with custom magnaflow exhausts have been doing this quite a bit (myself included).

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer custom rectangular tips. But if you can't get them made at a reasonable price then at least there would be an option (use stock tips) for people who want the sleeper look.

BTW, how much does the tip affect the tone of the exhaust?

 

Mike, I have a question. Are you pushing the Porsce tips because you like them, or because we like them? It seems more people want a variant of the stock tips. I thought you said so yourself that a lot of people aren't feeling this Porsche setup (with me being one). So since there are a LOT of people that want the stock tip base setup, why isn't more time being spent on that one?

 

this is what I suggested... cuda tips

 

...I think I got the point the first time around..

 

I've seen pix of the stock tips welded on aftermarket mufflers and while it looks good I think the piping diameter from the mufflers to the tips is tiny. I think we would want to increase that like 1/2". Look at the actual circle in the tips--it looks really restrictive, so it seems like you would have a bottle neck and increased back pressure in the system...unless there was a way to bore out the front of the stock tips to increase diameter a little.
I remember reading somewhere that Comptech said they didn't increase the piping diameter too much because there weren't any sig gains, so they kept it pretty conservative. I don't know if that was BS or not.

 

all exhausts for this car should be like 2.5" from the catback, and 2.25" from the Y pipe

Thats how comptech, ATLP & XLR8 made theres.. not sure about Greddy though, but its probably the same. Seems to be the best bet.

 

what about a round single tip like this?



Pretty simple, but makes it look aggresive imo.

 

Im in for the Porsche look!!!! How long will I have to wait till this comes out? What I mean is the base TL exhaust. I was planning on purchasing your other exhaust the dual tip I think it looks super sexy but I would have to replace the rear lip and hack the bumper so this would be better off an exhaust specifically built for my ride. That sounds good too. so what are estimated production dates? Will it be before the end of the summer?

 

It's not even set to come out yet. There has to be at least 25 people interested in order for Mike to begin making the prototype.

 

Sorry dude didnt mean to get you all wound up, I mean I see at least 25 or more different people here asking about it. So that being said is there enough people willing to put the deposit down to get this thing rolling? Im down I would be the first if thats what it takes.

 

sigh, i'd sign up in a flash if we could figure out a nice square set up

i refuse to go round, it's one of the main reasons i went with the TL in the first place

 

lol im not wound up. 25 people asking about it doesnt mean theyre necessarily wanting to buy it. Plus theres only like 9 people interested on this list

Right, but that list is for the Porsche tips. I bet there's a lot more who are ready to buy a square tip version if it's got solid gains and a nice, refined sound. I know I'm ready to buy.

 

yessir! Porsche Tips are nice, but damn, I much rather prefer the square tips.

 

Mike said that he is still doing the square tips, so we will see...but yeah, I agree on the Porsche tips.

 

i like the square/sleeper look but i was wondering will the jpipe come with the ATLP for base?

 

<---So anxious for the square exhaust.

 

hahaha...we wish...I would buy it in a heartbeat if it did!

 

The j-pipe won't fit the base model???

 

The j-pipe will fit, it just doesn't come with the ATLP exhaust when you buy it.

 

I knew it was a seperate item. Got confused by the post.

 

I need some feedback.

Good, or bad. Throw it at me.

 

i got an idea...
how about using square tips like the stock ones but a little bigger and more flush to the bumpers exhuast cut-outs having bigger diameter piping for the tips to the muffler. also using stainless steel mufflers thats shinny kind of like the greddy SP's?

 

I actually think this looks bad ass and it's starting to grow on me a lot!

Do excuse the rugged photoshop lines, and do use a bit of imagination of how it would look in real life. The tips will be slanted with the downwards curve of the exhaust.

 

Sorry, don't like it. It don't look stock enough.

 

<-- not even a Base TL owner, but i like it.. its more original then the usual round tip, still has an "aftermarket" look to it, and i am sure it will sound bad-ass


not bad!

 

I don't know...I REALLY like it..it doesn't look good on the picture because it's 2-D compared to the rest of the body. But in my mind I think it would look sweet sauce.

 

FAWK!

That is smokin hot! I will sell the TopSpeeds and be the first on thie list for this one- just make sure it fits the RJ rear!!

 

FAWKING HOT!

Put me down as #1 on the list, as long as it fits the RJ rear! I'll be your test car!!



This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!

PM me and I'll test it out!

 

I think i would like something like this.

 

I'm diggin these.

How about a side view? Looking for something subtle.

How about tucking them up a bit and making them a little wider? Are these going to be a custom design or are you looking to use an existing tip?

Definitely like the direction you're headed in.

 

I think this looks hot!


Would like to see sideview concepts especially how the tips would be cut.

I think yer thinkin' right here. It doesn't have to be overbearing and def. not ricey just functional and classy for us base TLs.

 

I really like the new design. Definetely more interested in this one than the porsche tips.


If you're looking for the stock look, why not just keep the stock exhaust and do one of the stage 1-3 mods?

 

I think it looks badass Mike! Can you do Rolled and resonated like the quads on this?

 

Yes! It will be rolled. This is just a photoshop so I can see if everyone is diggin' the design.
