Okay, i'm a new owner of a 03 TL, and the engine is completely new to me. I'm coming from a 98 blown cobra, so i was wondering what some common mods are to the TL...of course i know the power won't be comparable to my cobra, but i'd still like some "go" and maybe a little "show" too

Performance mods:
-OBX or Comptech Headers
-Aem, Injen, Cold Air Intake (or the Comptech Ice box NEW)
-HKS or Comptech exhaust
-AEM pullies

-Lowering springs I prefer the H&R sport springs (1.75in drop) their are many others to choose from
-or coilovers tein SS
-6000k HID bulb replacment

The icebox is sold on this website or comptechusa website...i think it's comptechusa.com...if you want more speed you can always add a lil juice =)...

With these engines having much less torque and HP than a V8, don't over look your wheels and tires.

If you are more into performance than show, stay with 17" wheels.

Choose the lightest wheel that looks good, but more importantly, pick the lightest performance tire you can afford.

Toyos are the lightest based on some research I did 6 months ago. Proxis T1-S ended up having the best traction plus lightest weight.

225/45/17 were 20.8lbs while the Yoko AVS ES100 225/45/17 were 22.5lbs.

These mods while they don't give you HP, they rob less. Case in point, my stock TLS produced better 1/4 times than the guys with headers.
