Dude,

Love the ride! That is the same color I am buying thursday.
What Springs do you have? Are they the sport ones or are they the oe ones? Car is sweet. Do you get any rubbing on the tires?

Well I havent dyno tested the car yet for any power gains, since the catback system...but I can definitely feel a much quicker response from a stop and quicker accelleration for sure...the pipes were mandrel bent 2.25 all the way back...and removed the resonator...pipes were bent to make a smoother more even y pipe instead of the factory one...the guy at the muffler shop said he couldnt believe ACURA would actually produce the system like that....that it is really a single exhaust withe two mufflers...the guy does awesome work and my dad recommended him after he had his corvette worked on there.

Looks awesome. I would have chosen the Anthracite Gray if they offered it in the TL-S but chose the SSM. Couldn't pass up the 260 HP because I love NASCAR (Go Fast, Turn Left).

BTW - what did the custom exhaust end up costing (if you don't mind me asking)? Yours looks completely awesome and seeing it has changed my mind about getting the CompTech exhaust (depending on $$$$).

$410 for the entire catback system including mufflers and tip...plus the guy painted the y pipe for me in hi-temp flat black to hide it....pretty sweet deal......always buy custom if you can, then something off a conveyor belt!!!

I am going to check around here and see if I can get a similar price. Thanks for the info. If you have a chance sometime, when you have your TL up on a lift you should take a picture from below. That would be cool. I would be interested in that pic if you ever get it ... forward it along to me.
