Yes, it will get a little deeper and louder as it breaks in. And damn yours hang low. Zip-tie the hangers up or something lol.

 

i know its low but i dont have a lip kit either so it makes it look even lower......i got lazy and didnt hang it up higher, just wanted to drive it!! im proly gonna paint them this weekend(maybe) first i will get them up a little higher. how much of a gap should i leave between them and bumper?

 

Excellent I will look forward to a sound clip!

 

^^ havnt tired yet with my digital camera....it might work. will try when its not raining.

 

Nice Pizz419. Once you get a bodykit it will look 10x better.

 

as many will say NO BODYKIT you want a A-SPEC LIPKIT

 

What's the difference?

 

Bodykit= full bumper replacements, all for the TL are RICE

LipKit= add-on ground effects to the bottom of front and rear bumpers+ new sideskirts

 

^^ since yours is already painted SSM how bout you just let me have yours!

 

 

question now that i have the apexi on.....SO I want it to be just a little louder. So once I get the DC's will taking out the cat and STR8 piping it from the headers to exhaust cause any probs other than well failing emmisions and throwing a code for the O2 sensor on the cat? Or would I be better off getting a high flow cat from Excelerate? Opinions/Advice please?

 

Get the high flow cat.

 

Is it louder than stock? How loud you looking for?

 

^^ yea its louder than stock, if your asking me. but i want more! but no RICE sound! its just not as deep as im looking for. i want it to be louder than my intake if that helps. should i str8 pipe it off the headers and live with the code?

 

are there any other exhausts besides these 2

 

^^comptech axle back, tanbe, greddy, make your own. there are numerous options, i got the apexi ws2 because its just so effin easy to put on. i am far from mechanically inclined and i put it on all by myself. if you know righty tighty, lefty loosie and you got a few tools you can do it. shit i did. and that says a lot right there lol!

 

you don't have to live with the code, you can just get an O2 Simulator and the CEL won't come on...

 

Or if you get the high flow cat, you are not screwing the guy you sell it to, keeping it "environmentally friendly" and you don't need a sim, just get the RT setup.

High flow cat will make it a bit louder and change the tone a bit. But if you are looking for serious volume increase, you just installed the wrong exhaust. You will have to get louder mufflers.

 

once i str8 pipe it i think sound will increase a little. i dont want a ricer at all but i was expecting a little more but since i have been driving its gotten a little louder. nice and sexy purr!! now what do i do with my old exhaust? its huge and takes up too much room!! would someone want to buy this? i dunno. if so ill put it in the black market. is there a market for used TL-S exhaust?

 

I would hang on to it. If the time ever comes that you need to sell your car, having it stock will attract more people. Then you can always sell the Apexi.

I've always done this with all my cars, kept all my original parts and sold the aftermarket parts after the car was sold.

 

x2. If I wanted to, I could bring my car back to 100% stock down to the oil cap. lol
