for exhaust, please get rid of that "fart can" and get either ATLP base or quad, XLR8 or RV6 dual exhaust system other than that I would leave my exhaust system stock.

That would be the RV6 j-pipe and Trudual cat back
I got it last year from a guy who bought it but ended up having to sell for financial reasons.
Got it 2 months after I bought my car and lucked out extremely getting it.
And those are oem visors on my car purchased through: Ack05tl

Heres the exhaust I finally got under the car and noticed he must have cut out the mid muffler and quite a bit of piping its def. a bigger size that stock and its welded good atleast lol.
Heres how the rear connects to the mufflers....
Believe it or not the exhaust sounds amazing but I don't like the look of the two big cans on the back and tooooo much drone while cruising. Anyone interested in buying? lol
I might pick up a nice non resonated xlr8 exhaust and I eventaully want a jpipe....Is it going to be obnoxiously loud and have drone still?
Or should I throw some new mufflers on my exhaust I have now with some nice dual tips and get the jpipe anyways. I'm looking for good sound and as much performance as I can get without spending a ton. I still need an intake! lol oh and clear my headlights, new oem visors, wheels, new front bumper.....I have the mod bug bad and its not going to go away. HELP
I'm an acura noooob!

I have a few trophies from drag racing, and won a few autocross events with my a4. He knows who he's messing with but he thinks he has like 70 extra hp from his dc sport headers, race cat, exhaust and intake. Mind you after his install he was at my garage and I was helping him tighten everything up and screwing in his o2 sensor that was about to fall out haha. I charged him a 12 pack lol
I'm super stoked I got an intake off of a car that is featured in a magazine and articles haha(not having an idea before I bought it lol)! I'm also happy I got one of the best options out there. You were great to deal with! Let me know when you need to get rid of some goodies!

We are both of the same breed lol. We know we could have went on and on talking about details over and over about cars haha. I'm throughly going to enjoy that intake. My friend has a civic SI and keeps messing with me to run him, I haven't yet, the CAI will give me that touch more confidence to smoke his ARSE. I told him anyways, I can beat you in my car, then swap cars and beat you with your own car hahahaha.

That's a big list of mods already. How do you like the Type R 12" compared to the Kicker CVR 15" ? What amp, ohms, and how many watts is your 12" wired up?
Also what made you buy LEDs from "krautoled.com" (I never heard of them before) instead of the more popular www.vleds.com ? Prices from VLEDs are cheaper and they offer 5k pure white or 6k white w/ hint of blue. They also sell A LOT of different types of LED bulbs like 921 for reverse lights, 9005 for daytime running lights, h8 for fog lights, 7440/7443 for turn signals, 1157 for type-s turn signals, LED strips, etc...

Krautoled is run by a local and he actually used my car as a template so to say and gave me a great deal. I believe he charges 60-70 for the entire kit which includes interior exterior and reverse bulbs. He uses mainly canbus bulbs. His website is way out of date as he is in the process of moving and has been going to a lot of auto shows

How are the LED's from Krauto? Did you do dull interior?
Update pics as soon as the wheels go on. I'm a fan of the Eurotek 03 and 06.

Well guys I had a long week/weekend got the timing belt service done at 75k, I did belt pump and all pulleys, plugs, coolant flush and water wetter, stage 2 bisimoto cams are in, serpentine belt, valve adjustment you name it! I also put my rims on in the process so all at once I'm more than happy with her!
