it sounds good, but its too expensive.. if you have a tl, just get the resonator and mid muffler removed, a lot of people like the sound you get. if its too raspy, add in a magnaflow resonator, it sounds mint after.

a friend of mine has a 07 TL-S with the ATLP exhaust, and a coldair, his car sounds amazing.
don't cheap out on your acura... just leave it stock if you're gonna modify your midpipe...

Increase power +15whp avg through rpm range
Better gas mileage, 1-2 mpg increase
Weight reduction
Higher grade material used
Free flowing exhaust
Sportier exhaust note
Sound wise, I heard in forums saying that it sounds a lot smoother than the Infinity System (G35/FX35) and is also very subtle inside the cabin
what do u guys think ?

what do u guys think ? | changing exhaust will not get you better mileage...
your car will only run rich if you mod the exhaust system without a tune...

By doing so, you are putting less "restriction" into the exit path of the head, so your turbo will spool faster, at a lower rpm. By spooling lower, your turbo makes more power at a lower rpm, meaning you don't have to be on the throttle as much to get to the same amount of power to propel you forward.
