You'd need a different rear bumper for one thing.

routing pipe for second exhaust may prove to be a problem. Might have to negotiate around the gas tank. And HOT EXHAUST + GAS TANK =

using a dremel tool will not give you the clearance to do a dual exhaust. the spare tire location makes it impossible to make it look like a mirror of the factory exhaust location. here is a pix of my setup, the muffler is sitting lower than the factory...

i was planning to to a reciprocal y-pipe system, but the muffler shop would not do it for me due to the lack of space and the gas tank..

hmmm...i didnt think it was gonna be that serious...see the thing is that im planning on doing a mix match kit...i love the front end that TLX is makeing and this back end



I havent decided on the side skirts.

so i think before i put it on im gonna have to cut a whole for the back end of the second pipe. and since the bumber is fairly low i could drop the stock exhuast a few inches to clear the gas tank or whatever.

Here is a few examples of the Remus exhuast...im thinking abou the one on the bottom right hand side...or the two oval ones on the top row...

Whatchu guys think

I hate that rear end, sorry, but I think it is horribly ugly. It's huge, and has no lines to define anything. I hate new cars like that, that just have huge flat bare trunks, there seems to be no style.

I like that nice oval tip on the top row though, or four rows down, third one in.

i had/have a borla tip in my beretta. looked very nice and wasn't 'ricey'. it was a dual 2.5 inch round tip, tip. check the borla site for it. it's now $120, but it's stainless steel and will last forever. plus when it's clean it always looks nice.

I have always wanted to do that as well. But too much work to do it.

best tips are the 5th row over and the second one down

they are off the hook plus it keeps with a classy stock lock. i am interested in them myself

Can't wait till my TL's Rear end looks like that... man thats awsome...

about the exhaust thing... when i went to Midas, they took one look at my car and told me... "if you want dual exhaust, your car will not be towable" in other words... the tow thing on the rear left of the car will have to be removed or relocated... either way... that sucks... but for the dual exhaust... i wouldn't mind... as of right now... i'm saving my monies for 2 things... 1 being TLXrAcEr's kit... 2 being custom dual exhaust from weapon-R... nothing as extreme as TLXrAcEr has... but maybe a dual exhaust total of 4 tips
