hey guys
i need some help
i just had the xlr8 resonated exhaust put on and its wayu to loud, i also have j pipe and high flow cat
any suggestions to quiet this down would be appreciated.

 

doesnt he sell a cone to make it less loud?

and you can always put a areo resonator or sell it to me hehe

 

Give the exhaust some time to break in. The mufflers need to build up some carbon and it will quiet down some. If its still too loud you can have another resonator put on.

 

+1

 

thanks guys for the help aprox how long should i give em to break in

 

I don't really know an exact number. A few hundred miles should do it I'd think.

 

a few hundered should do it, you've never expierienced loud, until you've owned evo II's

 

ive put 200 miles on it already and its still retarted loud is it suppose to be this loud?

 

resonated shouldnt be that loud, check to see if your gaskets are lined up.....

 

YES

 

i don't get it....you bought a j-pipe, high flow cat, and aftermarket exhaust and expect it to be quiet?

you could put back in your stock cat, that will definitely make it more quiet.

 

I dont get it either, I have a non-res and it isn't as bad as you are making it to sound.....

 

do you have a bad drone going at highway speeds? and i know its going to be loud but this is obnoxious loud i thuoght resonated would be quieter?

 

The drone seems to be the nature of the vehicle in that RPM range. The stock exhaust uses a resonator and a mid muffler, then the actual mufflers before exiting at the tail pipes. A similar design is utilized by Comptech and Tanabe and they're quieter.

Some one else posted you have after market J-pipe, and a high flow cat additional to the XLR8 exhaust, is this true?

 

It's in the OP's first post.. last sentence.. I'm totally shaking my head at this.. Too Loud! What did you expect.. It means your radio is too low.. lol..

We need a new smiley -

:ThisThreadIsTotallyWorthlessWithoutSound:

but that might be couple words too long.

 

Putting the stock cat back on would not quiet it down at all. When I added the ATLP J and test pipe to my Excelerate resonated, it actually lessened the drone at highway speeds.

 

+1 tell em

btw XLR8 is sex

 

I remember the first and last time I ever considered aftermarket exhaust options on my TL .. my 2k2 TL-S .. bought the Comptech axle-backs... and LOVED the rumble/growl when I started my car... then proceeded to HATE the drone/moan/groan during routine driving .. turned my entry luxury ride into a ricer... hated it.

Exhaust mods are just not for me... perhaps this isn't for the OP either.

 

the tl stock exhaust is way too quiet even on the type s if you ask me acura should have did something about tht

go back to stock

 

Ditto, the drone is the problem, I love the sound of the exhaust on acceleration. The problem is at cruising speed, when the rpms are held low and steady. There is a difference between that drone sound and accelerating off the line, or passing in traffic.

Many manufacturers have figured out a way to have big exhaust sound with minimal drone.
