:).....

... Ive also got an AEM v2 on the way and some H&R sports... also kind of on the fence about a navi conversion....just thought id let you guys in on my upcoming mods. Oh and any opinions on how you feel about dropping 1500 on a navi conversion would be helpful because im 50/50 right now

Not a bad start. I'd pass on the Navi. Just buy a GPS for a couple hundred bucks. I only use it every now and then anyways.

I wish I had the stock navigation system but I'm not willing to drop that much on it. The resolution isn't that great

I'd like to see one in person.. that'd probably help a bit.. unfortunately idk many people with TL's around here , kind of sucks. I guess I could always go to the dealership...

Beast, in the lower right hand corner of each post, there is a button (the middle icon) that is a multi-quote button. This allows you to reply to multiple people in one posting!

Give it a try-your posts will look like the one in Post #19.

a "race pipe" is straight pipe that replaces the 3rd cat.
Since the Rv6V3 Jpipe eliminates the 3rd cat, you dont need a race pipe

you can definitely do the non navi to navi conversion for around $650 if you're patient and do a lot of searching online and in junk yards. My navi conversion cost me $650 but took about 2 months of searching. You can also go with the car PC route as well. Check out my transformation thread...the third page shows my navi conversion and carPC installed:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=752019&page=3

And btw...J-Pipe was definitely worth it when i did it. Putting on the ATLP exhaust system this week to complete it.

... you should leave it like that... sounds good man . Did you get it fixed? and one of my bolts ended up getting stripped during my install, I was worried about it.. watch this happen to me.. except the whole J-pipe will probably fly off.

^make sure all your bolts and gaskets are secure.
you should also go back over the bolts, because heat can loosen them.

there is another issue at hand, but cannot discuss the details about my car,yet.
