Makes Me Appreciate Having A TL
I've got a buddy who has a Hyundai Tiburon (pretty fast car) with a CAI and we installed his new exhaust system today.. after cruising around in it for the night, It made me appreciate my TL even more. I might like fast cars, but I definitely prefer luxury over loud.
What can I say, I'm 18, and I've always wanted to have a loud sounding fast car.. But after being in that car for just the night and the headache it has given me, it's made me want to fix my tl up rather than save for a "ricer" car. Just my
though. Hopefully by the end of the summer I can afford a new paint job

Haha, I've never encountered a fast Tiburon on the streets. As far as Korea, you guys have a Honda clone, the 2000-up Daewoo Arcadia, which is a KA7~ Honda Legend (not to be confused with the ~KA7 Honda Legend), just re-badged.

Tiburon 15.6 > 3.2TL 16.3, 2.5TL 17.20
that being said, i would have liked a tiburon when i was younger for the "cool", sporty, kind of car but the quality can't touch my TL. the TL is great but it's a little too luxury for me, which is why my next car will be a blend of sport and luxury; a 3 series.

No such things as headers for us then, and barely even now. All I'm saying is, I have yet to encounter a fast one on the street that isn't riced out. I've raced BPU Tiburons giving them a jump and I still walk them. Maybe it was the bodykit weighing him down...

there was a old thread with a black tl with black rims, i think air susp, and he had a custom turbo charger i believe. That would be one possible route if you want fast, haha.
