That's exactly my setup, except the x-merge. I'm in love with the sound. Although, there is kind of a drone at 2.5k rpm (6th gear going ~75mph). This wouldn't bother me except I travel everywhere going 75. Do you have the drone too? Or is that a product of the x-merge?

One of my best buds has a V8 mustang and he things he's a car god. It's automatic. And we all laugh and laugh. It makes a nice sound though.

I don't drone, but I wrapped the entire exahust/precat and jpipe in header wrap. I'm not sure if that helped. Or maybe I'm immune to the drone...

Plus, I listen to music pretty loud.

I'm used to the sound now. lol
plus, your car sounded VERY similar to mine.

All I remember is when I first put the exhaust on, I didnt dare drive in 6th at that low of an RPM. if I kept the rev's up, it wouldnt drone...

I'll have to ask someone that has never driven in my car before if 6th gear drones

I'll put it in 5th and it's barely a whisper. I'm glad I'm not the only one though. And it only does it between like 2.1k and 2.7k

Only if you upgrade the tires. Then, it'll smoke that M5. You watch.

My car is not entry level. Since it's lowered, you even have to stoop down to sit in it.

Maj...Betty was frosting my cake and tempting them with the spatula to get them to look my way for the picture. Those 2 were my cuddlers on the couch on Monday when i stayed home sick. They're the best.

No, I'm not hating on the TL. But, I also think street-racing it is kinda...stupid. It's not that sort of car.

It makes as much sense as me racing around in my FX. That's all.

I mean, unless you converted the TL to race in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill...

Pretty much. The accident was completely my fault...so, of course. How stupid could I get?



I'm in a 2014 Malibu. It gets me from Point A to B...the built-in start-up is kinda neat if I need to pre-warm it for Little Cha in the mornings.
