Extremely excited to be here, need to learn the lingo though.. help?

Ive been on this forum religiously as soon as i realized that i had some kind of obsession w/ the 4G TL... I drive an 07 Tundra as of today but that all changes very soon... if i were purchasing a new one from a dealer i def would be getting a 6MT... but im getting mine from an auction, actually be exported from canada by way of long island( i see canadians really love their acuras) After my initial repairs i hope that i can establish some relationships on here cuz all of you guys w/ the exception of a very select few are incredibly helpful... JnC will def be seeing some of my tax return.. lol.. ive always been a "fast" driver, so excited to change my driving style to that of an acura TL... 2010 SH-AWD to be exact... im so excited jus thinkin bout it so i apologize if im not executing my thoughts in a better fashion...

Original Equipment Manufacture

Basically, factory parts.
for example: I have the OEM air intake and want to change to an aftermarket intake.

And welcome to a-zine This is the most active forum i've ever joined HANDS down.

And watch out for justnspace.... he's everywhere.

Also red text is sarcasm.

HRE is a wheels manufacturer. they make some pretty nice wheels.

a camber kit is what you need to install when your car is lowered and cannot be aligned to factory setting with the factory hardware. SPC makes those.

Pre-cat deletes.
high flow cat.

we have two primary cats up front near the heads.
the exhaust gasses exit the heads and goes through the cats and then runs throughout the rest of the exhaust.

when people upgrade to the PCD's or HFC, they are replacing the stock restrictive cat with either a straight pipe or a high flow cat to give the car more performance
