Thumbs up I've been MIA, but check out the new stuff I did to the TL

did a custom isf style exhaust on the tl and it looks and sounds fucking sick! car is full straight pipes now and it is crazy loud but its a must hear in person type of thing. I hade to do some rear bumper cutting to get it to work but it came out perfect, you cant see the cuts at all and it looks dope. I've been working on my other cars so I havent been on here as much, I picked up a twin turbo 300zx and a 280z and im in the middle of sleeving my sr20 for this year drift season. My life has been crazy with trying to fix up everything...but for the most part the tl is almost done. I want to go back to 19s instead of 18s and also want to super charge it. after everything is fitted and its sitting how I want it im going to have the body all cleaned up and have the car repainted. current whees are 18x8.5 +15 front 18x8.5 +10 rear I want 19x9 19x10..anyways here are some pics and videos















video of the tl

I give you credit for being unique and different when it comes to how the exhaust tips are mounted. However I do think they look "funny". When you see them on a IS-F it belongs there. On the TL however..... I'm sure most people would just ask "why are his exhaust tips crooked?". It just simply doesn't flow with the car at all.

Now that 300zx on the other hand looks proper.

Not a fan of the exhaust tips. Everything else looks pretty good though.

At least his exhaust tips are real. Unlike the IS-Fail.

Sorry, bud, but as nice as the tips may be, the worst thing you can do to make your car stand out from any other car on the road....................is putting something on it in the style of another car, even badder than yours, currently on the road.

I gotta give credit for the exhaust tips being unique. However I would get a custom lip/body kit to surround the tips. I think it would make them look more natural and would help with flow because right now they just look like tilted ATLP's

The tips on the isf are also more oval, where as those are circular. It makes a big difference in how they look imo
But Im not a big fan of the isf exhaust even. One of the main reasons no other manufacturer has replicated their design

I would just sell the TL. That twin turbo 300zx with the blow off valve is wayyyy more fun to drive. I used to have a twin turbo 3000 gt

I'm not a huge fan of the crooked tips, but the exhaust itself sounds great!

More of the Z please!

I like that exhaust, the only thing I believe would make it nicer is to stagger the bottom tips.

I mean for the most part I love it :-) its different and it looks nice in person. I love the isf I was going to do this style exhaust on my tt but then I noticed the car is to flat so it wouldnt look right the tl has a big rear and its tall so it flows pretty good. its very loud tho but it sounds nice. this is my girl car. I drive the tt as a daily. I just picked up a extra motor for the zx 510rwho 501rwtq that will be fun to drive everyday to and from work lol. But for the most part I like the exhaust and I've never really seen it done b4 on a tl. a few people actually inboxed me on the idea and they really like it so they asked if it was koo for them to do it which I dont mind, its not like its 100% my idea lol I just jacked the isf style exhaust and angled it more since the isf is stacked on top of each other. but yea this is my girl car, I just hate driving or riding around in stock cars lol feels weird. I want some bmw 95 style wheels for the tl! I love those wheels

one more thing the exhause tips dont hang that much passed the bumper it looks like that in pictures for some reason I have no clue y I will try to take a side view today

A bigger custom bumper


The illusion that the tips seem to hang is what makes it weird IMO

MADD = Mother's Against Drunk Driving.
Interesting look, I've often wondered how a stacked set of tips would look, I thought of a stacked set of base tips though...not bad, but I think the tips into a type s rear lip but straight would likely get more love.

Exactly what it needs. I like it, but there was something that looked off.

It looks like you couldn't fit the dual tips into the stock bummer outlet so you just had them rotated. You need to get a custom trim piece made for the bumpers so they look like they fit.

The first ISF I saw I thought the exhaust was a bad joke or it was aftermarket done by someone with bad taste. The first thing I would do if I got one is remove the unused tailpipes and make the rear of the car look much better. On the TL it's even worse. It looks like a fitment gone wrong. I guess the straight pipe sound sort of goes with it lol.

Now that 300zx on the other hand looks proper.
Ill have to agree on this one. Just doesn't look right.
