idk if I like the trunk/lip spoilers, I saw one today on a stock SSM TL while I was on lunch and I think I like the clean look of the no spoiler rear on my car. idk thats just me.

It's amazing how the A-Spec kit transforms these cars. I've always thought it was the single most important mod to do. If I hadn't put that on, I'm not sure I would have kept modding at all.

Why didn't you get the Type-S rear A-Spec
All you had to do was cut the middle portion of the rear bumper (middle lower)
and install the Type-S A-Spec... ready for quads

Well u forgot the fact that they never made an AM TLS so I would have to get the rear lip painted, which costs extra. and i didnt want to have to worry about that. I couldnt spend the money on the XLR8 quads anyway. my wife would kill me! The stock tips are growing on me each day so I may just buy mufflers and swap the rears and weld factory tips back on. i would just need to clean them up cuz they are dirty as fawk!

which ever you choose, do before and after sounds of the exhaust!
I have an AM as well, so very interested in your mods

speaking of which, have you decided which suspension to do? The aspecs performs great, especially for a DD. haven't driven in snow yet but since it's factory i think they'll be fine.
can't wait to do the rear sway now
I feel the same way, 15% of that might be because I am cheap and lazy.

ditto, I've had mine since the '08s... I've done the aspec kit and suspension and rims all in the '13s

Why do you want exhaust so bad?
I have Stage II and happy as hell with it
60$ res
110$ tips (you want quads)
100$ welding

I didn't know you had Stage III
Me and J. tried Richie to create a better base exhaust tip than ATLP one but he didn't create one yet
If he did...
exactly, that's the only reason I want something clean.
I think I have 8 welded spots at my stock exhaust
I did stage 4 once and went back to stage 2 after...
Smoke doesn't leave my exhaust
If something happens I am looking forward to that $425 cheap exhaust. Tanabe? Something like that
I am scared to pay 1000 and get something too loud. I don't know I can't live with loud exhaust.
I watch videos of Tyler, cold start sounds like hell
I heard ATLP in person too. JnC, the headlight guy has it, ok it sounds perfect but it sounded a little like my Stage II
That's why I turned my head onto XLR8, but now people say it has way more deep sound than ATLP
Yeah I could add res. and make it quieter but why am I paying 1000 then
That's why, cheapest one
Rv6 sounds nice too but tooooo, how do you say...deep or tough I don't know
I don't want crazy Bass, I need Treble

I know bish, that's why I said sounded perfect in person...but that cold start up is still too loud for me
I have no idea about civic but sometimes I see some of them sound just awesome, then it's probably hfp then.. perfect

Ya I really like the XLR8 exhaust but don't want to spend $1000 or do I want the single tipped base exhaust they make. SoCal has quad tips that I want and ill just do magnaflow rears
