how loud are these things i want to set off car alarms in parking garages but i dont want my neighbors to hate me when i drive off every morning at 7 oclock

 

yeah i was concerned about that too. it's not THAT loud imo, until you get on it. i mean it makes the car sound like somewhat like an italian race car. i'd sleep beautifully to it

 

oh so its only real loud when you get on it? we all need to post up the pics of the quads on our cars

 

It's much louder if you have the precat deletes. Still sounds sexy though...

When are you putting yours on TLNY04?

 

i would put it on tomorrow but my girlfriends dad has a contrustion company thats huge and has his own garage with air tools and shit to work on his trucks so he said i can use it next saturday and he wants to work on his f1 Ferrari ( he races on the side for fun) and his 911 turbo and asked me if i would help him so i kinda got suckered into helping him so im just gonna do mine next saturday or like thursday maybe but lol i have the box in my house and just the muffler and tips on my dresser looking at them and damn they are fuckin bigger in person then in pics

 

You hae MUCH more patience than me. It on took me 45 minutes to install on the ground with hand tools, so why wait. Then you go to work on his rides next weekend..

 

i got no jackstands! loll plus 2004 new york car = rusted out bottom soo it will take me a wile

 

im so jealous!! mine wont get here until Tuesday!

 

Dude, Mike, I love you, in a no-homo way. The exhaust is f'ing sexy. Did the install at a buddy's, went to Jotech, they were amazed.

With the intake, it kept me from wanting to go WOT just to hear it. At 2-2,500RPMs, though, the quads just come alive. Idle, they're nice & quiet.
My buddies had me turn the car on several times as well tonight just to hear it. And bridges, oh man, the quads are gorgeous. Much louder than I thought (and bigger), but sound so nice. Not ricey or very loud at all.

My only concern is getting used to the constant pitch at 2,000RPM. But Mike, I'm sure all of us can't thank you enough. Best $1,000 I've ever spent.

 

Is there any chance of another ATLP Quad batch being made. ?

 

I think this is it, you should get the ATLP base, it's hotttt!

 

i wonder how much would people offer to buy one of these...

 

The base is all that's available now, & I'm pretty sure the orders are filled for the first batch on it.

Quick pics.

 

^ siiiick looking... man I can't wait to get mine on!


I got offered whatever I paid + 200

 

thats all? i thought it would be a lot more...

 

^ well? I guess what we think and what this person offered are not in alignment! You get yours on yet?

 

fedex wont be here until monday afternoon.... do u feel my pain? haha

 

so of the 10 people that bought it only 3 posted up pictures wtf is up with that?

 

my exhaust came in today, and i notice that little rectangular shape box was empty inside!!! what is up with that? and i also have a noticeable dents on top of my both exhaust on of both inner tips. but my most concern is the box is empty.

 

i think the box is just supposed to be there ti keep from everything in the box from banging around during shipment mine was empty to

 

yeah i just found that out.

 

Yeah that box was empty... I opened it half expecting something... then sorta looked around and was thought you don't really need that much for exhaust hardware. Just all the pipes and some gaskets and nuts and bolts. So I figured that it was just there to keep stuff from sloshing around. The dents though? I can't help you... ask Mike? you got pics?

 

this is exhaust is pure sex. sorry i didnt have my tripod





my car is beggin to be lowered now

 

^ looks pretty good in that second picture... maybe cuz the shadow?

My first stage is complete, got my new ass put on. Yes, I know there's a hole there, I'll take care of that later! tomorrow I'll be with all the TypeS guys, gunning it around the neighborhood! Man there's a lotta you blue Type S guys! lol

 

I cant believe I missed out on these

 

WOW! THis thing is a lot louder than I had expected. It's dope, though!!!

 

It will quiet down as you wear it in. The first ~150 miles or so I was thinking the same thing, but once you get some burn time on the mufflers the exhaust ends up having a wonderful low and fairly subtle euro tone to it.

 

^ nice... or are you sure you just didn't get used to it? I was thinking that I needed to spend money on some amps and speakers now. lol.

 

I'm sure, I was worried for a sec that I would need to get a resonator, but it's fine now. There definitely is still some cabin drone in the 2300-2700 rpm range, but it's not too bad and only really gets loud when the car is under heavy load (ie going up a steep hill).

 

LOOKEN Great. SOUNDS Great.

 

JD, where did you get the quads? You weren't one of the final 10, were you?

 

Mine kinda quiets down after a while, but when you start her up after night's rest, the exhaust gets real loud at idle.

It's getting a tad quieter as I drive it, but it is still loud anywhere over 4,000RPM, and it loves to make the car pull at 4,500.

In my short time with the exhaust, I believe every RPM area has its own distinct noise.

1-2,500RPM=Subtle, quiet only making noise when you start to move. After that, a bit of drone until let off the gas.
2,500-4,000RPM=Around this area, I've noticed a bit more "grrr" coming out. I don't want to say it is, but the sound that comes up in the "background" sounds a bit like a Camaro that just got new cams.
4,000-5,000RPM=That previous sound kind of dies out, and in comes this subtle roar. It's loud when you first hit it, but it's nothing that comes up when VTEC engages. Great sound when you run under a bridge. Sounds a lot like a VQ engine with more torque at this point.
5,000-Redline AKA VTEC=Nothing more than a very loud monster. At redline on a drive-by, I highly believe someone who isn't watching you could mistake the sound for a Flat-6 out of a Porsche. The sound at redline just has extremely similar tone to it. Not exact, but not far.

This is just my opinion after putting over 100 miles on the new exhaust since Saturday, though. I grin on WOT throttle, and I've had nothing but compliments or "Sounds great/nice". At 2 meets so far, I've had a few guys ask to start it up and give it some gas. I don't see how anyone can be unsatisified with this exhaust unless you weren't particularly looking for loudness.

The cons? It does attract attention & not the good kind. I've caught a few police men taking a glance on me when I get on the highway.

 

so i went to go to do do this today and completly failed how the fuck do u get the stock exhaust off of those rubber clip holders and you guys who had the stock base bumper did u guy saw off the whole bottom of the bumper?

 

haha damn yall are tempting me but i have to wait till after finals to install it because i dont have any free time.

 

Yo JD, where'd you get that?! That IS a nice find! Now for mine, though!



Check it oooout!

well, the the left one i stuck three flat head in them to make and opening. on others i just push it as hard as i can and it worked. USE THAT MUSCLE MAN!! but yeah i was thinking of the same thing, it was hard to get the exhaust off of those rubber piece.

 

Saw it offf! Just like the DIY made by mmade. You're trying to get the exhaust off the hangers? Just like TLuu said. Just good ol fashioned brute force.

 

yea I got to figure it out cause I cane figure that stupid rubber thing out

 

Spray some lubricant and it comes off very easily. I recommend PB Blaster or Zep

 

i just got mine today and am going to part out my car...sucks.....
