2007 TL-S Mods to Perform
I just received my NBP TLS from the dealer, and have the following mods planned:
- 3M's BC-35 Tint on Sides and CS-35 on Rear Window w/ Moleskin
- AEM Cold Air Intake
- Thermoblock Spacers
- Stock Resonator Replaced with Dynomax Resonator
- 1kW Inverter Power System (provides 110AC wall outlets)
These are all relatively simple mods that don't cost a lot to do. However, I am still left with a couple questions, that I'm hoping the reader can answer(or at least give their opinion on):
1. What specialized tools will I need for the CAI and TB Spacers? I have only recently gotten into cars and only have regular household tools(hammer, pliers, etc)
2. I'd love a deeper sound that the Dynomax Resonator provides, but am not interested in making the car especially loud. Would it be worth replacing the resonator, but leaving in the mid-muffler? Or would the existence of the mid-muffler filter out the deep tones I am trying to get?
3. I am one the fence about installing a UR Crank Pulley. At around $200 plus labor, is this mod really worth it? I've read some threads about it, but am getting mixed responses. Simple speaking, I want it to be worth the money if I do it.
Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, I have learned quite a lot from this forum and very well may be ordering from some of the vendors here. You guys rock!
