Ross, you had an UA6 before? I didn't know

Ahhhhh Anil, I just remembered, you were talking about a place to eat around there... 53rd and 6th? What was it called?

Knock on the wood for loving driving so much



Oh Ohhh have you seen Rush yet? Movie Rush? Nikki laaauuudaa
Can't describe how good the movie was bro, it was just amazing. Scenes, quality, speeches, races, actions, just perfect. Not sure because it was a movie about something I knew for a looooooooong time but it really did go in to emotions. Can't help it when it comes to driving dammit

We went to gokarting again, and this was the last time I have to play bigger, gokart is just not fun, never enjoyed it.
In New England speedway up in NH, there are some events you rent a ferro lambo porsh and drive. I am going to search about it and find out

and buy that MT M3
but getting rid of the TL is just not possible....sometimes I say worth driving MT and m-power but IIIIII dooooooooont knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

MEKO I thought I saw you driving in Brockton earlier this week (SSM with wing spoiler and modded lights) so I downshifted to catch up with the car and saw it was a girl driving a 6MT

Glad to see your car is coming along well! The all amber up front looks good (I know I'm late )

Its called the Halal guys....be ready to wait in line for a while....

I used to cut through the line back in NY, but I guess I lost that skill....last time I was there he charged me twice as much and said "express fee habibi"....I was like

Its like 6-7 bucks (used to be 5 bucks back in 2005-2006)....that was my breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner LOL....LOVED IT !!! cheap and super tasty....

If you are in a hurry, there are other vendors there as well (every other intersection) but there is something about 'the halal guys'.....

https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-H...57700344254837

Ave of Americans is 6th Ave...so they are on 53th and 6th....

No Sir....I havent seen Rush yet....we wanted to go but now we need to find a baby sitter for that....my dad just left for India, so we might go see it over the weekend or so


and your car seems like its shifting great (knocks on wood) but if you not happy (seemed from your texts) then honestly get the M3....its a lot more power, its RWD platform and MT....its got the recipe to be a perfect drivers car....

Ohhh it's a cart. I thought it was a restaurant
Are those really healthy? Never ate something from the carts around NYC

Oh 22k fans... ok got it haha

One side says don't waste money on something new
One side says If I keep the TL longer as of this point, I won't be able to sell it for a good price again.

I want to trade my exhaust with stock one, if I could

You guys tell me a good price to sell the exhaust for?
J? Anil?
You know what I paid, 800 + 100, or add 700-800 to the cars price and don't deal with anything. Positive a person will not say no after hearing it

I'm sure I could catch you eventually

I talked to a couple of the other NE region guys yesterday and I guess we'll try to get something sorted out before it gets cold out. I'll keep you posted.

Yup, and after you heat up the exhaust, well, you have do push the rpm like I do.... then you start to hear it kick at low rpms
pat pat pat pat

If you come and take my car to shop to install full stock exhaust, extend the tips 2" for free.

I would let you take ATLP with a price you willing to pay for, yes even free. Yes even free, don't forget this.






Thanks Steven
Seriously no going back after you see the car lowered once. I don't like looking at my TL or taking nice pictures of it anymore haha

Dude I'd love to send my exhaust to you but the stock exhaust is all one piece.

Annnnnd I have stupid stage 3.

Other than it being one piece, I wouldn't have a problem sending you my exhaust, I don't drive it everyday and I could drive my mom's car to and from work.

^^^ THIS

the only problem with stock exhaust is that its one piece....when i sold mine, I cut the mufflers off and sold it that way....

I highly suggest meeting up and taking some pix

Its not about selling
I am happy with it
I just dont want to take another step about exhaust, everytime I do and did, money fliieees away.

If Austin was local I would just give it to him so he could have the fun. Its just and exhaust. Always around.
Also because I miss the intake sound or engine, unlike ATLP or any stages, even Stage 1

It was actually the Stage 2 that took my intake sound away I still remember that day

Plus, Anil, no way to cutting the exhaust in pieces. That was thr second worst thing I have done a exhaust

I will agree with you....since I knew am not going back to stock, I wanted to sell it....

hard to sell it as 1 piece, so I sold the cats/jpipe separately and cut the mufflers off and sold em with the tips and dumped the down pipe

Stock downpipe was the worst thing to see after the 3rd cat.
I was like how would air flow from here comparing to ATLP

I threw away the 3rd cat. No one in the world could make me put that back on. Wtf is that doing in there man, blocks all the air.

I was going to keep the tips but couldnt cut them gone to trash

Another reason I want a totall stock exhaust is, to compare it with ATLP

I am keeping my test pipe and believing it will do good with a stock exhaust. Tone might get higher anddddd one thing annoyed ke with ATLP was its weight.

That thing is heavy compared to stock.

I cant compate it to my old stock because of 8 rewelded spots. I even felt flow slowing down after turning into Stage 2 from Stage 4 last year. I fawked up that exhaust....

So i really want to try clean, light stock exhaust with my race pipe and compare it to ATLP.

No way near ATLP performance but still....

Some might remember, my license plate LED board was bluish, unlike interiors pure white.
Replaced it with door led board. Now I could sleep well
For doors? Ordered 16led board again, but in amber Le me see how it will look

Also replaced rear turn signals with amber led, was read.
Orange allll the way

Will order 15mm spacers for the rears

Replaced fog bulbs of the MDX with 4300k

Was going to remove the rear wing but decided not to.

Don't be crazy, Meko...you can't tell they're amber in the rear with the red lens!
Looking good, man...
honestly, unless you're planning to remove the trunk spoiler for good...good call, DON'T touch it...it's bonded on there with double sided tape and 4 bolts and it never goes on the same the 2nd time around. Ask me how I know this.

Its a perdect match with my front signals.
Havent you seen any Range Rover Vogue? I mean HSE or whatever Americans call it here. The non sport one.

Some models have red glass. But when signal go on, its orange led.

Same with mine, and even with ebay tower leds its noticable orange/yellow. With triton its amazing.

Try it, pictures doesnt capture it... So cant show it to you


Why do you think I stepped back on the wing
Bolts lookes like they were welded rusty there haha

On the way to home....
Friend rented a Nissan Versa something
I passed him on the highway with RPM almost at redline in 3rd gear
He called me to stop at the emergency lane, we did....
He is like gimme the TL.. you have to hear this car from outside, no wonder no one tries to race with us

I just couldn't believe how this car sounded from outside on highway hahahahaha
Oooooohhh my God, this thing roars
Intake, engine comes first and screams like crazy, and then a little silent until the rear end comes up........after that, Jesus Christ God Bless America

Its just fawking scary

About the video
Sorry, I was trying to hold myself not to laugh
and didn't know where I was recording on the video, was just trying to capture the sound.

Exhaust goes "pawwwt!!" at 1:47 after shifting
