How well do those things work? Friend of mine has one and I'd like to go ahead and roll mine knowing I will need to eventually. Doesn't damage the paint or fender at all?

I have one, its really easy as long as you dont rush it. I did it during the summer so the metal was a bit softer. Some places suggest that you use a heat gun to warm up the fender.

CLassy02

Yeah I've heard that as well. I don't plan on it any time soon, just something I'd like to do in the near future.

1foxbody

Haha I like it because it's different everyone else just does a lip spoiler I like how yours is molded into the trunk, it gives it a cleaner look. You know what I mean say a price already!!!

lol... foxbody..... Thanks ... How would i even ship the trunk?

Is great for shipping large items. I'm buying nspecs old lip kit from dsickles and were going that route with shipping. That's a whole lot bigger than just a trunk. Just throw a price out there and will go from there. I was reading one of your threads and noticed you work at a body shop so I'm sure you can make a new one. I would be actually willing to send you my trunk if you needed one. I have cash in hand willing to pay you asap no bs.

CLassy02

Damn that trunk is amazing.

1foxbody

That's what I'm saying lol. I hope he's willing to sell it!

your mufflers seem to be sticking out a little and hanging too low? I have the same ones but dont look like that...

1foxbody

I said the same thing to myself when I first installed them. The only thing I can think of is they are for a second gen tl. I purchased them brand new from a store off ebay that had a bunch of left over comptech parts. If I remember correctly the description said they can fit a tl/cl but when I looked up the part numbers just now they call for different ones. That's the only thing I can think of. I just purchased another set of mufflers from a member on here thevikas87. If his are the correct ones my bro said he will take mine. Either way they are going to get cut up because I'm doing a custom y pipe in the rear.

Did you get much of a gain doing the 3.5 intake ?
Where in the rpm band did you get the most gain ?
Did you build that yourself ?

1foxbody

I honestly don't know how much I gained exactly but I would say the car felt better all across the rpm range with it. I helped my friend Shawn build it. He owns a shop called www.rameybuilt.com

1foxbody

I bought nspec's old lip kit off his car that dsickles was parting out. Thanks buddy! I'm dropping off the grill, front bumper to get repaired and painted so I will have pics soon. I'm finally a member in the lip kit crew lol.

Wasnt the lip kit damaged?

1foxbody

Yep that's why I said it has to get repaired and painted in my last post lol. I only paid $550 plus shipping for the whole kit so I couldn't pass it up. I wanted to have them resprayed anyways.

I read it real quick and thought it just said repainted.

1foxbody

Yepp. I'm excited I wanted one for a long time. I'm only putting the front on for now. It would look stupid if I had the whole kit on without being slammed on nice wheels. I still have oem wheels on right now.

AnthraciteTypeS

Awesome!! Grats, I'm dying for a front lip myself

1foxbody

Thanks I was too that's why I need to get that front bumper on asap !

1foxbody

I took all the exhaust off last night and matched the headers perfectly with the gaskets. Out with the old and in with the new! Were building the rest of the exhaust today.

1foxbody

We got a little done today.

Damn those look good man!!! I can't wait to see finished result!

1foxbody

Thank you!! Me either I've been patiently waiting a long time to have this done. I will take a bunch of pics a long the way.

jwanderson1868

Your CL looks amazing... Haven't seen too many primo black ones like that

1foxbody

Thank you, yeah it's a pretty rare car!!

1foxbody

We got some more work done today on the exhaust. I just have to figure out how I want my mufflers to sit, then the rest should be finished tomorrow. Here's some more pictures.

CL-Future

Definitely gotta give you props on the exhaust. Looks top notch. I can't wait to hear some sound clips

Welds look really good.

1foxbody

All the welds are done by my friend Brian at www.rameybuilt.com he's the man! Me either I will have some video when it's on the dyno. Hopefully it doesn't sound too raspy without a resonator. If it does I will be ordering one tomorrow depending on how it sounds once were finished.

rush

iTrader: (1)

It will sound raspy get the vibrant

CL-Future

Agreed. After I got my exhaust redone I had one of the cheapo slim resonators and it sounded terrible. Got the 3" vibrant and it sounded soooooooooo much better. Very subtle but still aggressive sound.

1foxbody

X100000000 I knew I should of just ordered one from the beginning but I'm stubborn and wanted to hear how it sounded first without one.

We were thinking about making them equal length but decided not too. Will see if this design actually works better. I'm putting the car on the dyno tomorrow so I'll have video. I had to order a vibrant performance ultra quiet 3 inch resonator, it's way to raspy for my style. That will be here tomorrow so will dyno the car after we install that. Everything else is finished, I left my camera at the shop by accident so I won't have pics until tomorrow.

We took the mid pipe back off today to install the resonator. It sounds a lot better but it still has some rasp. I can deal with it though.

1foxbody

Here's the before and after dyno sheet. I also noticed my before pulls were uncorrected (STD) so they are slightly higher by about 5whp and 5wtq. So overall I picked up about 30whp and 15wtq with the new exhaust setup. The car feels better across the whole rpm range now, especially towards the higher rpms. Now I have bad traction issues in 1st and 2nd gear lol.

BEFORE: 246whp 223wtq UNCORRECTED (STD)


AFTER: 279whp 238wtq UNCORRECTED (STD)


272WHP 233WTQ CORRECTED (SAE)
