Finally Got A Comptech

Damn, took long enough but finally got my hands on a comptech. The Greddy had way too much drone. The comptech is a perfect match for the TL in keeping the luxury look and sound.

Also swapped the tailights with TL type S ones and got some tints.

Yeah it's weird, sometimes you have to hit the refresh button for them to show up.

Other than sound, do you find any difference in performance when compared to the Greddy?

The problem I heard about on the comptech was that they used standard flanges, where as everything else was stainless steel.... IDK

To be honest with you I did not feel any real difference with either one nor the CAI. I only drove it for a little while though. I guess I am used to turbo cars and chipping. When I chipped my 01 Audi A4 the difference was HUGE!. The audi experience spoiled me I guess.

Throw some pics of your tints as well with % numbers

Thanks, I will be working on de-badging next.

I am not too crazy about the A-spec kit. The RonJon is even worse. I am waiting for someone to release a nicer kit. If nothing comes out this year I will A-spec at least the rear.

I saw a rear sway bar from the place selling the quad tip exhaust. I will defintelly pick this up as well.

well, aside from the Versus kit, which you probably wouldnt like, its very "JDM" ish and looks a bit wild, there are no other kits and probably wont be.

a-spec might grow on you
