Nice bro loving the wheels are you planning on dropping the car using H&R springs. Great progress though.

aspecallday

Nice job Kraze ,wheels look nice and clean i like how they are flush with fenders

LawnPro

KK I like the wheels they totally change the look of your TL. Is she out of hibernation now?

KarKraze

Thanks bro,i am debating what to do with regards to the lowering,getting in and out of my driveway at work will be challenging,also i may have to roll the fenders since the rims are flush.



Thanks bro,yesterday was the first day that i drove it to work,it was like the new chick on the block hahahaha.

Yes she is out,felt like such a long time but man it does feel good,thank you.

Bro, Nice WHEELS!!! I have a fellow Roderick Brother lol. I was actually thinking about the RW1...Your car looks awesome!

And that is how my car should have looked...flushed to the fender!

Wheels look great, saw them on another members car and was totally underwhelmed; they seem to work best on WPD!

KarKraze

Hahaha,when i saw your thread with your new rims i was so tempted to tell you that i purchased Roderick's as well but i figured i would wait until i posted the pics and surprise you.
Too bad about your offset.


Appreciate the comments.I did a lot of photochopping with different rims before i setteled on these,it turned out well.

KarKraze

I figured out what was vibrating,i took off the cross support bracket and drove the car without it,it seems that there is not enough clearance between the j pipe and the bracket (only about 5/16") funny thing is that i cannot see any evidence that it was rubbing.
I added 1/4 " spacers and all seem well atm.

KarKraze

Two more to share










I am working on another mod,i hope it works out well.

KarKraze

about this one.


Thank you for your kind words.


Me too,i went to the dealership to pick up a part and was asked by the service advisor what year model it was because it looks so different from the front, when i came back outside there was several guys looking at it....... true story.

aspecallday

The rims will hate you forever if you dont...lmao just jkn

drop???

Teddybear

^box looks big for a drop unless there's springs AND shocks in there.
looks more like it's a cat back sized box.....

Or the RJ spoiler kit.

Everything looks really great and clean, KK. Anxious to see "what's in the box".

KarKraze

Nope.




Hmmmmm.




Nope.




Thank you,i am anxious to install it but i have a busy weekend ahead.
Here's a little hint...only one other member that i know of has it.It was'nt a mod that got a lot of love because i think that most people felt it was too expensive for what it is and what you got.
Keep guessing guys!!!

LawnPro

........BBK brake kit?

KarKraze

No,too much $$$$.

full exhaust ?

KarKraze

I just came in from working on the car to give everyone a quick update,both of these babies are off




Stay tuned,more to come.

So do I get the exhaust tips as a gift present since I hit the nail on the head.

njsimons

ATLP catback exhaust res.

KarKraze

Sorry,i would like to keep the original in case i ever need to take the car back to stock.


See next post lol.

KarKraze

First off i would like to thank everyone who took part in "guess what is in the box".
I had a very busy weekend and started the install about 2.5 hours ago,i purchased the CT Engineering axle back exhaust.
I must say that i was very happy with the sound of just the j pipe and the intake but always wanted to add a little something more to it,well the axle back exhaust did not dissappoint me .
This system is best suited to someone like myself who is not looking for a loud exhaust,most will probably think that it is too quiet,while subjective i think that it sounds absolutely outstanding,nice low rumble at idle and smooth right through the powerband,no rasp or drone.
Enough writing and on to the pics













i will post some more pics of it on the car tomorrow and try to do a video as well.

Treblig

Great looking set up. Would love to hear a sound clip.

njsimons

Can't wait to hear it!!!!

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Very nice-can't wait to see them installed.

KarKraze

Thank you, i will try to get one up by this evening.



I will post more pics this evening,last night i was just able to get the install done (around 2 hrs) and take a short drive to satisfy my curiosity,so far i love it but will be able to give a better assesment today.

Zelaya

Can't wait to hear it. Make sure you give us a garage start up sound clip and outside. How pricey are this setup and whats the gain in HP.

Teddybear

i was very close! hahaha

aspecallday

NICE, i think you are the first 4G with this setup

djtanveer

so did you have to have one of the sides welded on? It looks like only one side has the flanges.

How are the gains?

KarKraze

Have'nt had a chance to do a video but i will eventually,this link will give you some of the info you need.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-2012-AC...cad1ef&vxp=mtr




Yes you were,very good guess.




Thanks,actually there is another member on this forum that has a similar set up.




Only one side has flanges,i used the Torctite lap band clamp provided to attach the other side,no leaks so far but i will have it welded eventually.I did it this way to test it.
I am not sure if there is a gain as such but seems to rev much more effortlessly through the powerband.I seem to remember Pseudo saying that changing the exhaust enable the other mods perform better and i share the same feelings.

KarKraze

A few pictures of how it looks on the car

Treblig

Looks like a nice fit. Still curious as to how it sounds. By the way, are there optional tip choices?
