Fixed

 

I like mine

 

Many thanks, good sir. Where would I find Porsche tips? I love the ones in the 911s.

I'll put up a few videos some time today. In person it sounds really exotic.

It's basically a Ferrari Enzo now.

 

well gone bro....

car is coming along great....my suggestions basically echo what Tyler said....do the AZINE sticker right and post some vids up

 

Decided that my stock back-up bulbs were WAYY too dim and were verging on useless.. Went to auto zone, picked up some superbright bulbs. Here's my installation.

New bulb is blue, stock is clear


Dipped new bulbs in this stuff:


Perfect fit:


Stock on right, new bulb on left:


Final:


Install took 10 minutes, bulb pack was $10.

 

you need HID reverse bro

 

Overkillll

 

GoFast, I inserted an Updated date on your thread title. If you don't want it in there, let me know and it can be removed.

 

Thanks Steven!

 

^^^ bro why didnt you get LED's

you can buy 2 LED's which are brighter to a little cheaper....next time give them a try....none the less the bulbs are bright !!!

 

>.< Just didn't occur to me. Now that I've used them at night, I can say that I am happy with their brightness

 

^^^ he till you like it and enjoy it....thats all that matters bro...

 

very nice, your progress is amazing, cant wait to see the drop and kit. Trust me, I have the same color and the kit just compliment the car.

 

Thanks swoosh! By the way, love your build!

Thanks man! AM is such a common color, lol.

ALSO: Here's a sound clip of my exhaust. I am thinking about possibly becoming a vendor of this exhaust. I could possibly produce it for as little as $499 with flanges (completely an estimate at this point). It would be the cheapest catback for the TL. It would be made of Aluminum piping, not SS, but that would really only be a problem in some of the worst weather states. Would anybody be interested?

Lol dad walks out "what the hell are you doing?"

As far as getting buyers for that cat-back. No one is gonna want to shell out half a grand on something that doesn't have proof (graphs) of power gains

 

Lol, yep, that was my Dad.

True, true... guess I should dyno it. It's a pretty simple set up though, 2.5" from the J-Pipe back. Should gain the same as XLR8/ATLP/CTech.

 

That exhaust sounds really good, when you said you deleted the mufflers did you leave the resonator?

 

Thanks bro. I deleted the mufflers and kept two resonators before the Y-Pipe. I also kept ample space to where I could add another Glass-Pack muffler before the Y-Pipe if it was too loud. One of the resonators is the Dynomax from the Stage 3 mod. The other is an 18" AP glass-pack.

 

Sorry I didn't clarify I meant the first time you modified the stock exhaust.

 

Oh. Well I went with stage 3 but it wasn't loud enough so I hacked off the mufflers and kept only the dynomax resonator. Wayyyy too loud. Droned like a b*tch

 

Ya i have basically the same setup but with the stock resontor instead of the dynomax, it drones like a mofo around 2.2k. But from 2.5 to 3k it sounds incredible.

 

So basically you only have your stock resonator? Are you using stock piping?

 

^^ Yes, and yes.

 

Well props to you for dealing with drone so low in the rev range.

 

Haha I know how to control it now so its not too bad.
Im still thinking about trying to get a used catback, but for right now im happy with what I've got.

 

That's good. Judging by your sig you have a six-speed? It's tough to control it with an auto. That's why I only went dynomax-only for one day, haha.

 

Sounds pretty awesome, man...nicely done!
About the porsche tips, I'm not sure, Jayvee recently had a hard time trying to find them.

 

Ya its a 6 speed. Like I said down the road if I find a used Greddy or ATLP base for the right price I might jump on it.

 

Thank you sir, sounds even better in person ;D

Don't rule out XLR8 either, they make a great exhaust!

 

They do the only problem is I want something to fit my A-Spec bumper, I dont really like the the look of their small circular tips.

 

This weekend I dropped $1500 on my car for maintenance. I did the 90K timing belt/water pump service, tune up, cabin air filter and the two recalls. They also found two broken engine mounts (which somehow I never noticed any symptoms of...) which were covered by my warranty I bought from the dealership that I bought the car from. The car feels amazing to drive now; so smooth, and the throttle response is better, too. It's great, because I got all the main expensive maintenance stuff done and my baby should last me quite a long time with only brake jobs and oil changes to worry about.

For those in the DFW area: I would highly recommend Jordan at David McDavid Acura in Plano. She was excellent and the entire experience was painless.

 

hey maintenance > mods ALWAYS !!!

it will always take first priority in my books....and am glad your feeling your car more responsive

 

Yep! Now I can make my car faster

Also, first to second feels a LOT more smooth now... guess the broken engine mounts were making it a bit jerky...

Thinking my next mod will be a CAI, only thing I'm worried about is flooding... somebody talk me into buying it!

 

^^^ :noob:

well your in TX and people down there are more worried about droughts than floods

but in all honesty, the only time when you will hydolock your engine is when you are sitting in a foot or more deep water and keep punching the gas !!!, you can drive through a pond with your engine off (in N) without hydrolocking your engine

 

Ah, I see. I guess I'll go ahead and put my order in then.

 

i made another person spend some more $$$

 

Nah, I was going to buy eet anyway XD

 

Nice car you have there I like the color a lot, and the rims. Leaving the center caps give the rims some pop too, lots of attention drawn to them

 

Thanks! I get a ton of looks with my wheels all glossed up with tire-shine. It's almost like black chrome, I love it!

 

I think you should dewing it and take the side molding off, and it will look great.
