Nice! How do you like the xlr8 exhaust?

Timeless

Its music to my ears. Seriously. I hardly use my stereo when my windows are open now b/c I'd much rather listen to my car.

It drove me crazy at first, but once it broke in it toned down just a bit and it sounds great. Fitment was perfect and easy. The hardest part of the install was removing the stock exhaust. I'm trying to get some decent sound clips, but it ain't easy.

Do you have side profile shots of the exhaust/bumper? I want to see how far it sticks out. But nothing the aspec rear lip couldn't fix.

Timeless

I'll check. If not I can get one quick. It doesn't stick out too far at all. Definitely out more than stock, but stock the exhaust is way under the car. I think it fits very nicely and the big ass round tips kick the rear up a notch.

Heres the closest thing I have to a side shot:

how much did the overlays for the tails/rear side markers run you? looks good

Looks nice. Are you trying to get a bodykit on that bad boy?
I'm kinda digging the overlays too. Keep it up

Timeless

Headlight, tails, all sidemarkers (F and R) ran almost 70 bucks.

A-Spec front lip in the spring as well as other goodies. I'm not really a fan of the entire kit.

any close ups of the overlays?

Also, are those the 3/10(lighter) or 6/10(darker) overlays on your tails?

I love the tinted brake lights. What kind of suspension are you planning on getting?

Timeless

Close ups of the over lays (with the lights off) coming soon. The lights detract from the overlay during the day.

Its the 6/10 film. 3/10 is too light IMO.


Suspension: Megan coil overs come spring....I don't want to be plowing snow with a drop in the winter just yet...nor do I want brand new coil overs to suffer winter roads right away.

How easy was the exhaust install?

Was it a simple bolt-on, bolt-off?

Reason I ask is because I was going to pay to have my ATLP installed but if it's easy might as well make it a diy job.

looks like your left muffler is lower than your right one...but it's a nice setup overall.

dr_brains510

if you have a lift that you can put your car on, then it would be very easy for you to take off and put on the ATLP...otherwise, its a HUGE pain.

^ I've got floor jacks, a friend, and some good tools, that's it.

Where'd you get yours installed?

chefmaurod

Thanks, looking forward to seeing that as I also have an SSM and trying to make a decision on which overlay to choose.

Timeless

The hardest part was getting the stock system off. Some of the bolts were pretty corroded so it took some grunt work. I did the install with two of my buddies in my drive way with the back of the car totally airborne on jack stands. Once the stock system was off, the new catback literally slid right on. It was a breeze.

Yes, the left muffler does hang a little lower. Theres a thread "Honda r&D we salute you" and if you look at their car, the left side hangs lower too. The system is adjustable to a degree, but honestly, it doesn't bother me. When I install some other parts maybe I'll toy around with it

I would do it yourself, I'm sure you're pretty capable if you have a friend / WD40.

Overlays look great!
