buckvegas

Should be getting together with ATLP to put the last phase of the exhaust on within the next week or so. A little delay due to some fabricating of some 3G exhausts they had to send out. Hopefully more updates soon.

OOO yay Coming soon...

NJ SHAWD

I gotta throw something in the mix. If I had my choice, I'd opt for a smaller diameter pipe to increase low end torque even if I had to sacrifice a little on the top end. Everyday driveability is more important than the 5% of the time I'm opening it up against a 535. I would also prefer smooth and quiet over blaring. If I want loud, I'll open up my V8 with real sound. I haven't found many 6's or 4's that had the right tone yet...but I am open hear what is available. Yeah, I'm old

PhoenixUnit

I don't know if i should wait for this or just spend the money on the RJ grill. As nice as the RJ grill is, im dying for some exhaust.

YetiTL

I'm with you on this one. IMHO the car needs low end torque (for me it's 0-3000 RPM) and the engine is great at 3000 RPM and above.

FWD guys are so lucky... this exhaust is going to be BAD ASS

PhoenixUnit

If it ever comes out

buckvegas

It will be out....just not as soon as we would all like...trying to secure a time with ATLP to get this finished. They had to produce a bunch of 3G exhausts and that set the timeline back a bit.

whats the word buck?

buckvegas

got a text from ATLP that the tips and final material had just arrived. Hoping to knock this out within the next 10 days or so. Wish I had more news for you guys.

PhoenixUnit

^

Just hearing that is good enough for me

buckvegas

Its going to be sick...wait till you see the end result....It will def be worth the wait...

2010_TL

This might have been asked already.....

But is this for the AWD as well, or only FWD for right now?

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

FWD only

buckvegas

confirmed a time on april 21 to get with ATLP to put the exhaust on in full. So the end is near, pending we dont run into any fitment issues, all that will be left is a final dyno.

PhoenixUnit

Hey buck this is a little off topic but after you installed your progress rsb. Do you hear anything odd at the rear of the car?

buckvegas

No I never heard any odd noises. Progress actually installed it for me and immediately I could notice improved handling on turns. Mine is set on the firmest setting. I think I have read in the 3G section that some people have heard odd noises, you may want to check there.

808 Fifty-State

I had the same issue after I got my PSB installed. It was like a squeaky clunky noise coming from rear. All it needed was some Lube and the noise went away. Havent heard anything sense then.

PhoenixUnit

Thats exactly what im hearing. Il tell the service dept to fix it when i take my car for service. Thanks

Wut? Isn't that what we've all been waiting for? Pics

buckvegas

I am sure pics will soon follow the finalization of this project. I am simply sharing updates on the research and development of this project. Its nearing completion, and I am sure ATLP or heeltoe will be sharing photos asap.

buckvegas

also, no one is going to like this news, but the meeting time has been postponed one week, to next friday, a photoshoot will take place that day as well. Good things come to those that wait. The exhaust is not ready yet, and would be ready early next week, but I am leaving out of town on business.

jpmunoz

was this off of the stock exhaust? because i had a tl type s also, and the exhaust on my shawd now is much lewder then the stock tls one.

Pete2010

Knowing him.. probably aftermarket... not sure which one, ALTP or Excelerate.

bgarcia_SH_AWD

sweet! can't wait

buckvegas

the exhaust is now fully installed. Tips, piping, J-pipe, and race-pipe. Sound is aggressive but not too aggressive for my taste. Its only been on for a few hours so it will take some time to break fully in. Power gains are def there. After I left I had to fill up, no more than 10 min after being installed a guy at the station walks up and asked about the exhaust and simply stated "Thats f'ing sick man!!!" Hopefully pics get released soon!!!

Can't wait for the pictures. Do you know est time it will go on sale?

2010_TL

Did they say anything about making an exhaust for the AWD?

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

^ quite a few manufacturers want to make the exhaust, but they cant seem to find a donor car in the area

Ive seen the ATLP exhaust pictures it is, fantastic.
