I have a 2012 TL, could I replace the mufflers with xlr8 mufflers or do I need to replace more than just mufflers like pipes?

 

Welcome to Azine. Try posting in the model specific sections, in your case 4th generation TL: https://acurazine.com/forums/fourth-...2009-2014-123/

To answer your question you can replace both mufflers. Look under your car and you'll see there's a flange with bolts after the muffler. Some refer to this as axlebacks. I'm not sure what options Xlr8 offers, why not go on their website.

 

There is only a flange on the driver side muffler, and not the passenger side muffler. Passenger side muffler is connected to the Y-pipe IIRC.

 

If you want to go with XLR8, their exhaust replaces the entire exhaust systen from the jpipe back. If you're just looking to replace mufflers, check out the ATLP mufflers from heeltoeauto.com or for a cheaper option you can go with magna flow, Borla or flowmaster mufflers and have quad tips added.

 

Hey Bri,

Our exhaust replaces the entire stock system right up to the Jpipe like Carbon mentioned. Our XLR8 system uses slip fit joints rather then flanges like the OEM system, so to answer your question, our mufflers will not fit by themselves unless you're willing to do some modifications (cutting, welding flanges, etc).

We can sell the muffler separate if this is something you're really interested in. Feel free to send me a PM if you're looking for pricing. Otherwise an exhaust/muffler shop could help you get more sound out of the car for cheap!

Good luck & happy modding!
