i have xlr8, pcds and jpipe and it was raspy. To reduce the rasp while also being loud i added an 18 inch resonator in place of the factory one from the xlr8 and deleted the rear mufflers and added 3 inch tips and it sounded super frickin loud with no rasp. After awhile it was just too loud and i made my own single exit with the same resonator it had on before but i also added another right before the new 3.5 inch tip coming out the passenger side. Its much more toned down now and sounds great being able to hear the intake spool and the exhaust! great video bro stay up
Im not tryna tell you how to live your life man but what you really need to get is the resonator 24215, straight pipe so you can stop being unhappy with your results and be 100% happy with your results.
I mean no disrespect, just a suggestion that I feel like you avoid ever since you took your car to the shop and the mechanic told you how to live your life. The car is clean asf imo I just feel like you’re missing the perfect sound man... regardless bro I love your car and I love your channel. From a TL enthusiast sorta kinda to another... please consider my advice
Anyone else ever have problems with their clutch whenever you smash on it? Every time I do a pull from any gear and bring it all the way to red line and shift, my clutch peddle gets hard and sometimes too hard where I can’t shift into gear unless I pump it a few times.
Check your clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder (valve might be getting stuck due to dirty fluid). Id remove the check valve on the slave cylinder and do a flush. If clutch pedal gets stuck down and doesn’t come back up then it’s clutch master cylinder (happened to me).
I have a tl-s 6mt too. With rv6 pcd’s, endlessrpm v2 j-pipe with test pipe and atlp v2 resonated (22” x 4”) quad exhaust. Before i got pcd’s it sounded great with no rasp and barely any drone on highway. I added pcd’s and highway drone was super bad as well as a slight rasp. So i added a vibrant ultra quiet resonator (14” x 6”) and now I have no drone or rasp. So two resonators, two mufflers and no cats. My advice would be 3 options: -add a 4” and 6” resonator to current setup -get a custom 3” exhaust from the j pipe to the Y-pipe. This way u can keep stock mufflers and make more power than 2.5” exhaust for cheaper. Also, add 2 resonators. -get one of the 2.5” namebrand options available and add a 6” resonator. From what I’ve researched, 30 plus inches of 4” resonator doesn’t do much. So 6” is the way to go. I’m curious to hear what it sounds like with just a vibrant ultra quiet resonator. But it does sound great as it is with good volume
Bro nothing beat stock resonator bro! Get two resonator welded makes any straight pipe sounds deep and aggressive! Without even often change your stock muffler
There are ways to mitigate the rasp. You could get a large Magnaflow resonator welded in, and if that doesn't have the desired effect a Vibrant Ultra Quiet could be added towards the muffler where the mid muffler was. With PCD'S, rasp, smell and a stained bumper may be byproducts of them.
I got 17 tlx 3.5 an I did 2.5” after the cat all the way back delete 4 resonators an both mufflers in all stainless steel an to dual tip stainless steel tips

Hey bro what tiny are u running and Ik u got the windshield tinted how is the visibility at night or in the winter I’m thinking of getting my windshield done.thx man I fw ur videos
dynomax resonator is only for tl’s with stock precats. If he added that small ass resonator to this catless set up it would barely do anything. You gotta go vibrant ultra quiet and/or magnaflow 18”+. All these videos on “stage” exhausts on tl’s sound like shit. I had a dynomax resonator and mid muffler on my tls 6mt when i first got it off of youtube and acurazine recommendations. But i didnt consider the fact that these videos and threads were years old. Once i did it and heard it in person I was a little embarrassed tbh. But i delt with it for 2 years and now i have a proper setup up. Pcd’s, j pipe & test pipe, atlp v2 quads and 2 resonators. Sounds way better than dyno max especially at wot when shifting
@@DhruvDrives Videos don’t sound the same in person, but i’m willing to bet that the dynomax is hardly going to do anything. He’ll end up buying another resonator to add to it. There are a few reasons why his pcd rasp is amplified. -stock exhaust. the smaller the piping, the higher the pitch -no resonators. Small ones will help, but bigger will do more. Bet he’s going to add another resonator or buy a bugger one -rv6 v3 j pipe is known on the forums to actually add rasp. That’s why i bought an endless rpm j pipe instead
Yeah I should’ve got the vibrant resonator, I acted fast and got a dyno max. But oh well hopefully it tones the rasps some and once I’ve got the money, the whole catback system will be replaced.
On my 08 TL-S (Automatic) I went with the HFPC'S, ATLP V3-R J Pipe which seems to have killed my low end from 3,000-3500 due to the 3 inch collector and the ATLP Resonated Quad exhaust. There isn't a hint of rasp and my exhaust note is tasty. I plan on swapping J-pipes to the RV6 V3. Where that pipe makes power is just better.
If you're running completely catless the rasp never truly goes away. I have the resonated XLR8 catback/PCD/Jpipe, the car has a slight rasp right around 3k rpm. It's not awful but its just borderline between bearable and bad.
PCD and the no resonator is causing the rasp bro. Install a dynomax bullet resonator. If still raspy, I would get high flow pre cats and scrap the cat deletes.
You need 2.5 piping catback. It will make the rasp sound better. Those little stock pipes sound raspy as hell. The small tips also contribute to a raspy ricer sound. I have 2 evo 2 style straight though on mine and it sounds great. Tls look better with the style you have though.
Any of the well know cat backs will do the trick. Tsudo, Endless RPM, ATLP. For a cheaper alternative, you could do throw in a magnaflow resonator and MAYBE!!! Rear muffler delete but might be raspy again
Add your catback, a magnaflow resonator, and a Hondata Flashpro. If you have a tuner, especially after those mods..🤯 I promise you it’ll blow your mind. I’m running HFPCs, j pipe, Pnp runners, bored throttle body with an intake... After I tuned my Automatic car, it’s night a day.

Welcome to the club. When I had the stock mufflers the resonator helped against rasp. Im currently running same set up as you but with the atlp catback non res and its stupid loud i might throwback a resonator in there. I recommend a resonator or change the mufflers it wont have that rasp but it will be stupid loud like mines lol 😆
Hey D, try taking out the 2 rear mufflers. With anything deleted behind them the mufflers cause a lot of rasp. Check out videos on UA-cam and you'll see that the ones with rasp are the ones with the rear mufflers still in. Take out the 2 rears and see how you like it.
when I was looking at getting a TL type s I was looking at all the catbacks and I liked the XLR8 the most. ended up getting an RSX type s tho so ill be going with the Invidia Q300.
You have to reseal. One of mine used to have terrible condensation so I changed the whole headlight. Now both of them get a little condensation sometimes but it goes away after 1-2 hours
It’s a base so I kept the stock mufflers and resonator. The tone is different than yours it doesn’t sound that raspy lol... it’s more pleasant then that lol
