This is my first time making a new thread, I don't see anyone who made a thread about doing resonator and mid muffler delete on a 3G TL... (Stage 1,2,3)
So I thought I will make this thread.

I drive a fwd 4G 09 Royal Blue TL. I love the car, other than the fact is a pig on gas (I thought it would be a little closer to my old 3G TL, that's different story).
I notice a lot of people would go and get XLR8, RV6 or ATLP exhaust for their TL. On Heeltoe, I only saw ATLP exhaust for my TL. So I talked to "Lift3d" about his exhaust, I randomly heard it, sounds great, problem is it is stupid expensive (or I'm just super cheap). I'm just looking for the sound and look of the exhaust, I highly doubt I would gain a bunch of HP out of a cat back (10-20hp for arguement sakes, and I could careless for the HP).

So I did some research on my "custom" exhaust.
I ordered some dynomax resonator and magnaflow mufflers.
As I tried to search on youtube, I couldn't find anything that will really tell me how it would sound.

So here's a clip of my TL with Dynomax Resonator with mid muffler delete

My Magnaflow Muffler aren't installed yet due to my exhaust tip haven't arrived and I really want to put something on, so far I love the sound, but I couldn't hear it unless I'm at the back of my car myself... #firstworldproblem

Looking at 5hp tops and that's on a good day.

ej6sliver

Well that's why I didn't bother with full cat back.

PinotGrigio

sounds nice

i'm very curious about the outcome of this, wouldn't mind meeting up with you to hear it once you're all done!

what tips did you end up going with?

thanks for the complimentary note on the sound of my exhaust, small world eh

ej6sliver

I would love to meet up soon...
The Tips will be in on Friday.

They are 4' dual tips just got them on ebay.

Lol it was just random haha, my buddys heard and they thought it sounds really good too lol

KarKraze

Sounds good,post up some pics of how it looks under the car if you can.

ej6sliver

I can take a pic of the underbody the next time I go in to install my muffler.
I'm hoping I can get it install next Thursday.

ej6sliver

The Tips are finally in... I will get them install by next Thursday on my day off.

lift3d_

those look really nice man! are they 4" or 3.5"?

who in town is installing them for you? If you're looking for someone, Speedy Exhaust at the corner of Weber and Uni is good, they're a performance exhaust shop.

ej6sliver

They are 4" tips
I'm getting them installed by Tomen's auto in Kitchener.
He does great work, he doesn't do hack jobs.

They will be in on Wednesday before work. Can't wait.

Pearson4G

Should sound deeper/throatier with the magnoflows. Sounds good though.

ej6sliver

I got my exhaust and the tips install today. I will try to post some photos and video of them just a little later due I'm at work right now.

Still haven't done a sound clip yet.

And KarKraze, I have pics under the car.

Edward'TLS

Please hurry, can't wait for the pics.

Excuse the camera quality.
It's nice and deep tone for me. I like it a lot, just a general complain like others, there is a little bit of drone when cruising.

I apologize for the delay as I got busy after work.
I will make a video clip of the muffler as soon as I can today.

KarKraze

Quick question, did your car have a resonator originally? And how do you feel about the 4" tips?

Thank you for the pictures.

ej6sliver

Yes everything was stock, I replaced with the Dynomax resonator thats all.
I'm very glad that I got the 4' dual staggered tip. It makes the car looks that much better.

Here's a picture.

ej6sliver

I will try to find my go-pro and film from the outside while driving as well.

Hi I'm new here and been looking to do just the magnaflows and the dynomax. I already found the magnaflows model that it's very popular here, but do you happen to know the model number of the dynomax resonator?

ej6sliver

Oops sorry I forgot my resonator model number already.
