Lol I thought of that pic as soon as I saw the tag on my front door! It says he came at 8:25am which I thought was really early! I won't be around tomorrow, so hopefully he comes while my brother is home. Until then, I am going insane waiting for it!!

The time of warmer weather and more free time! Also, I'm not sure if I should get a j pipe and install both at the same time. I guess I should spill the beans....I picked up richies last true dual! Im also unsure about how it will sound with the stock j pipe, and with the amount of driving I do, I'm not sure if I want to take that chance. Help!?

If that sat there looking at me through an entire season, I'd go crazy.

I'm dying right now!! All I want to do is install this thing! I wouldn't call it patient I'd say its more towards chicken shit.
I don't want to install it with the stock J-pipe and then find out it has rasp or drone, since I put 1100 km on the car per week. Just wish I could afford a J-Pipe right now too! Then it would be easy.

If anything, the stock j-pipe will make it quieter.
You shouldn't have any rasp or drone.
J has HFPC (I think) RV6 j-pipe and the true dual and he has no rasp.

We got it installed yesterday! Even though we had to work in the snow 
After a few hours in the cold, all I can say is WOW! It sounds amazing!
Anyways, over the winter I hope to add:
J-pipe
Progress rear sway bar
Tint
And an Electric starter (not sure if I want to go with an alarm/starter combo or just a starter...Suggestions?)
Mileage update: 141,000 km

Found out a friend of mine loves to photograph cars so we went out today and snapped some shots! The weather was cold and rainy/snowy but he managed to get some really nice shots. Here is what he's sent me so far:

So as spring nears an update is in order. I have around 157,000 km on the TL now.
I also have some stuff waiting to be installed, like skunk 2 front camber kit, Progress rear sway bar, and I also picked up a front lip diffuser from a STI off ebay. Not sure how the lip is going to turn out but thought I would try it.
I also need brakes asap! Only have 3mm of pad left on the front. I am about 90% sold on the stop tech package that excelerate offers. From what I've read everyone seems happy with it. Just curious on the pad life and dust. I hate how much dust the brembo pads have, but I realize that good pads will create more dust. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks rockstar! I'll be around as long as I have the car, the winter is hibernating time, especially this winter! Not much fun modding in the cold.
I'm hoping to have some things a little different from everyone else this summer hopefully it works out and flows well with the rest of the car
