Hi all,

Just wanted to start somewhere here...I just bought my 2007 TL Type S a little over a week ago and I love it...I'm already looking at a few bolt-ons, and I've done a little research, but was also wondering what the community's opinions on first bolt-ons would be.

So far I'd say some type of intake...I was reading about having to remove the bumper for a cold air, which seems a bit much for just an intake haha...I'm definitely set on the XLR8 exhaust and still open to ideas for a j-pipe...I'd also like a fix for the drive-by-wire, not a fan of the lag haha....

So that's about it for right now, thanks for reading / opinions

CAI=AEM, Fujita, Injen, K&N (You don't HAVE to remove the bumper, but it's VERY helpful. Also, you only really need to remove the driver's side half of it, and squeeze in there. It's a lot easier than you think).

J-pipe=RV6's newest one

Fix for throttle response=Sprint Booster - http://www.sprintbooster.us/

Also, welcome! I hope you got the 6MT.

Thanks for the reply.

I did get the 6 spd haha...I wasn't going to settle for the auto.

Congrats, you got yourself a great car!

As for the j-pipe, i think right now the RV6 is the way to go, link below:

If I were to do it all again, i would probably gut the stock intake, and then apply the aftermarket intake $ on something else...like precat deletes. Good luck!

I congrats you on that. Too many new members making threads without searching/researching themselves.

RV6 V3 J-pipe, Catback, and RV6PCD (Pre-Cat Deletes) is the way too go.

I bet when Richie (RV6) comes out with his exhaust, he could do some sort of combo deal with the J-pipe, Catback, and PCD. That would easily yield you about 40 WHP.

I am very happy with what I have done on mine:

'07 TL-S 5 A/T (yes!) CBP/TAUPE
FUJITA F5 (excelerate)
PROGRESS RSB (ditto)
P2R throttle body spacer w/gaskets (ditto)
Braille battery (tirerack)-but Jeg's has them too

IMO, since the Type S has a less restrictive exhaust from the factory, I don't feel that modifying the exhaust is the direction I want to go.
I also use my TL-S for business, and don't want the extra noise, especially for so little hp gain.
I chose the Fujita F5 primarily because it is no louder (or very little) than stock, until I step on the "loud pedal"

You also might want look into pulleys. They don't add much hp but let the engine rev more freely which I've heard is pretty awesome.

Thanks, like I mentioned, I have done some research, but I was just curious as to what some members opinions were on setups they liked and why...I have already pretty much had an idea on the bolt-ons I wanted, but again, just gauging the community...

I read in Richie's thread about his new and improved j-pipe and looking at how flush it was with the underbody, pretty much sold me on it. I plan on lowering the car on the 1.7 drop, so it was appealing once I saw the pics. Question for you, when you installed the PCDs, did that effect any O2 sensors or anything?

I'm also sold on the XLR8 resonated...I was reading that a member had got a hold of the new design mufflers and was in love with the "stock" sound for cruising, and the roar under WOT...Thoughts?

Is the Fujita a short ram or a cold air?
