Wilz - What are you running for tires (make and size)? I'm sure it says it in here somewhere but I can't find it.
I decided on Aspec suspension for the TLS and they're scheduled to deliver today. Took the Aspecs off the 04 and plan on eventually mounting them on the TLS. I'm considering running 245/40/18 to lessen the gap. Spacers are certainly in the near future also. Thanks

Also, from the reading I did on here, the 235/40 is more of a Sport/Handling Tire for the TL, where the 245/40 is more for comfort.

Actual update this time.....
Just got done installing a Airaid 4" UBI Intake and AEM Dryflow Filter with cover.
I had done the Intake Resonator delete, so it was very easy to remove the stock intake. I did the Airaid install without removing the front bumper.
I was running the stock intake with the 3.5 setup for awhile, but with the Airaid 4" Intake, it feels so much better. It pulls hard and is not that much louder.

Just realized a mistake in my post, I meant 3.7L Setup, not 3.5 
Feels much better now since it was previously being restricted by the stock intake.
I tried to use the pieces of the UBI mentioned by others, but that setup didn't work for me since I have a 0.75" Intake Manifold Spacer.

That's the P2R Throttle Body Gasket you see. I have a MDX Intake Manifold Spacer milled down to 0.75" below the Intake Manifold, basically the same thing as the Intake Manifold Spacer that P2R is selling, except I got it for a third of the price.

ahhh...gotcha, yeah, I thought TB, not intake. I have the intake thermal gasket too...but it's skinny. I should have kept one of the thermal gaskets for the TB too...but, meh, not that important. I do like this 4" tubing though.

yea, you can customize to fit. i bought everything separate, its cheaper than buying the all in one kit from Airaid.

Total cost of my parts was $230.74
1 x Airaid 4" UBI - 100-400 - $104.90
1 x Spectre Intake 4" to 3.5" Reducer - 9741 - $11.87
3 x Spectre Intake 4" Coupler - 9771 - $11.33
1 x AEM Dryflow Filter - 21-2057DK - $48.99
1 x AEM Dryflow Cover - 1-4007 - $30.99
There are two separate Airaid UBI 4" kits
This one would require buying additional
This one probably has everything, but price too high

nice....
and gotta love the Airraid UBI. I was doing it all over again, I would definitely take that route...you are another member I have heard good things about the UBI from....
Also, you got a resource who milled your MDX spacer down for ya? If you dont mind sharing his info, I have the MDX spacer just sitting and I miss that mod...

I don't know anyone that mills it, I found someone on V6P who was selling the milled spacer cheap.

Yea, its crazy. It was like 80 degrees last weekend and 70+ all last week.
The snow is the heavy and wet kind, so all the trees and bushes are all weighed down cause of it. I had to shutoff the sprinklers since its suppose to be freezing tonight and we had to move all the potted plants in to the garage to protect them.
