New To the Forum, Pics, Turbo's, the Normal

Hey, I am new to your forum. I am a member of a few other forums and haven't been really into the forum world in a few years.

Yesterday, I picked up a 2009 TL SH-AWD and it's been pretty fun so far. I do have an issue with my S5 staying connected to the Bluetooth, other than that, it's reliable, and very quiet compared to the other cars.

So, I'm not sure honestly. I wanna say it looks to be about 5% in the rear and 20% up front. When I bought it monday, I didn't even catch that it was tinted until I was washing it yesterday.

Smile For your Bluetooth problem

Try turning off your WIFI when in the car, it removes 99% of all Bluetooth connectivity issues.

Naw not at all. But I would suggest the HFC before anything else if your doing the power mod. What exhaust are you looking to do?

Already did the Intake, the HFC and I'm looking between the Xcelerate and there was another one that I found. Honestly, I'm looking for the deepest (I hate a raspy sound) sounding exhaust that has still a low cabin presence.

yea they are fun little cars. This one's sitting over 400whp so it's kinda a pain in the wallet to DD, but for weekend track racing, it's light weight and very formidable.
