its resonated, but that might be as close as we can get. Non-res sounds mean as hell.

I have the non-resonated version and its loud. There is definitely cabin drone, but I got used to it and it quieted down after breaking in. Or at least in my head it did. If you want a mean as hell sounding TL, get it. People know before I get to their houses that I'm there. You will be heard before seen.

Man I want a really sick sounding exhaust, but I don't want it to sound real raspy... I'm buying today so if anyone has a sound clip or vid that would be really helpful!

Alot of the rasp on wanderers car is mainly from the exhaust being pretty much completely open. If I recall correctly, he's got pre cat deletes, after market j pipe, test pipe, non res XLR8. Pretty much straight tube to the mufflers. It depends on the sound you want Acurastyle and what your future plans are for the car.

You should hear more vids of the non-res exhaust before committing. You don't want to regret your purchase later on. Whoever you're ordering from isn't going to process your order until the following business day anyways, that gives you until the weekend to finalize your decision. For me, I'm just waiting for the ATLP base exhaust.

OK,
I got a question? Where did the term "Whip" come from? Anyone? I know it means car. But where did the term start? There must be a story here????

The non-resonated exhaust is certainly more aggressive than the resonated but it isn't really that raspy. That raspy exhaust note comes from deleting the cats. The drone that you can get at low RPM's is due to the exhaust not moving quick enough and causing resonance; that is why when you floor it the noise goes away b/c the exhaust velocity picks up. The j-pipe helps decrease the drone since it is speeding up exhaust flow. I would start with the non-resonated and put a resonator on later if you think it's too loud.
BTW here are some vids of a non-resonated XLR8 exhaust on a TL-S (AZ member s_heng_62).

Good Idea ???
So putting the non res XLR8 exhaust and J-Pipe on a stock 06 TL manual would be good enough for a nice sound upgrade? How much HP would these 2 add ?? Thanks, I haven't been on this site for some time, I feel like a newbie again, but thats OK. Alot of new stuff I have no idea about.
Thanks all. J.D.

20HP at the wheels is a great improvement, plus the 25# torque would be sweet With all the correct tools/jacks/stands, is it pretty easy to install both of these at home? How about a price total shipped if bought at the same time?
So there is no way to get the quad pipes on a 2006 A-Spec TL ???
I really want the Type-S look. ???

I just priced out the XLR8 non res exhaust for my 06 TL manual with OEM exhaust. $902 plus shipping. The J-Pipe is $380 plus shipping. So these will fit the OEM exhaust? How hard to install?
How much would the Vibrant High Flow cats add? Need 2 correct? What size would work with the Above parts? 2.25" or 2.5" ? $68 each is cheap, I thought High Flow cats were much more.
So adding the XLR8 exhaust, J-pipe, and 2 Vibrant cats to my OEM exhaust would be a good upgrade? I really don't want to add a CIA, worried about warranty and water problems? Or am I wrong here? Just want to add about 30hp to my 258-270hp ??? Manual 2006 TL.

Those vids are great. I had kind of ruled out this exhaust because of lack of videos out there. But this helps. Would love to see more posted up on youtube. I wonder how the resonated XLR8 sounds compared to a comptech when it comes to volume. I don't want much drone or law enforcement attention. Tac
