-->Future Owner<-- Hello! ;)

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all!

I am the future owner of an Acura TL 2006 and I am already looking at the mods I'm going to do
It is a used black and automatic (5spd) that is currently owned by a friend of mine!
I Presently have a pretty nice looking Mazda 3 2004 with a few mods but not very fast...
The TL is going to give me everything I need except for being automatic!
This is what I am thinking on doing already (I want a stock looking car/do not want to attract too much attention)
-I am going to get the fujita intake on eBay
-I have no idea which/where to get a catback but that I need too!
-Tein S-Tech Lowering springs
-255/40/17 when the tires that are currently on are worn out!

Question 1: How many catbacks are out there and which one do you recommend me?
Do you recommend ordering thru internet or to find a local tuning shop?
Do they have the same overall performance?

Question 2: I will only be getting springs+alignement before changing tire size, do you think there will be any rubbing issues? I kinda turn hard.. with my current 215/45/17 :P

Can't wait!

Simon

i assume you're talking to me... my interior and license plate lights are from tec-toyz...reverse lights are xenon (got them off ebay)...

and thanks for the compliment... ...people tend to look a little longer at my car when the lights fade on...they've even pointed when they see my reverse lights come on...wonder if they're intrigued or laughing... ...intrigued i'm sure...
