Brake disc and muffler

I just bought my Acura TL 07 3.2 last month. I don't like the muffler really much so I plan to change to dual muffler ( I know that I have to change the rear bumper anyway ). But I don't know what muffler is good and looking cool.I want to know more about the brake disc with the holes in it too. May someone help me choose ?

The brake discs with the holes in them are called drilled rotors. They are really good, and decrease the amount of time it take for you to stop. I am looking into getting this set of drilled and slotted rotors from excelerate performance.

you can also cut your bumper where the exhaust sticks out too instead of having to buy a whole new bumper.

found a thread on the TSX forum about promo code on Rotora.

my rotors are warped so i got some slotted and drilled rotora rotors from xlr8. code is AZ ROTORA i think it was like 15% off.

tips is just for looks and do a stage 2/3 for some sportier sound. theres a thread on dual tips that you can put on for about 67 bucks and the stage 2/3 will cost you about 100 bucks including labor.

it will only cost you about $200 at MOST to improve your tips and give some sound

IMO i think the base tips look nice and if that was me i would just change the mufflers but its your preference.

I think about this too, but I went to a auto shop and they told the they are not in the same color Front and Rear. And I have not idea why Brembo don't make the Rear brake rotor for TL. I mean the cross drilled.

I like the sound of my Acura and some how I hate the loud sound ( There are a lot of old car with a big tips have a really loud sound, I don't wanna be one of them ). I think maybe I will change just the tips. One of my friend told me that if I change to the quad tips it will have some problems that's why I ask you guys. I think I will go with Rotora for all 4 Rotors. What do you guys think ? And I have a question What is brembo ?

Is there any quads tips can fit the base bumper ? I try to find out but I only find the one fit the A-spec bumper.http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/dual-exhaust-tips.html I find out this one in the forum . I like it but I don't know can the base bumper of my TL 2007 can fit it or not . I think the width of where the tips stick of the base bumper is around 7-8"

I just read some thread about slotted and drilled rotors. They said that slotted and drilled will have cracks after 6 months.Does it depend on the brand or every brand slotted and drilled still crack ? I am not a racer, just interested in the look . What do you guys have on yours car ? Slotted ? Drilled ? Slotted and Drilled ? I got the 5AT and I don't have brembo caliper ( I don't know can I do the brembo caliper for my car or not but if I can I will ).
