Damn TA! Wheels look perfect on your car. Those Toyo's seems like they stretch really well, especially for a 245 on a 10.5. Congrats again on the nice setup!

Thanks guys. jbond, waiting on pics of yours! Jackie, they do stretch well. Crazy lip and poke. I love how the tires tuck under the fenders. The matte black barrel hides it nicely with the tires though. I will have to take close ups and post it soon.

Not many tuner lugs to choose from with our truck size bolts lol. But I stumbled on this website after a few searches. They've got colored closed end ones too. Thinking of getting the blues.

+35 sir.
KarKraze, I moved to a shitty state with no tint at all. I hope they change it soon. I a little privacy in my own car.

This pic is gorgeous and pretty much how I want my TL looking with quad tips though, and I'm pretty sure I want to get Niche rims now. I just got a BWP 12 TL last month and needa get the aero kit and rear spoiler asap. Great job man

Negative, I don't feel the need to with the Tein SS. It's not low enough to camber the front even though I'm maxed. So I went natural camber instead. Maybe next year if I decide to switch to a different coilover/suspension kit or get a different set of wheels. We'll see. I'm content with how it looks now though. Did install the wheels yet man?

Bumping my progress thread as I've just purchased a j-pipe and catback combo. I'm anxiously awaiting for them to arrive. It's the RV6 V2 J-pipe and I will mate it with the XLR8 oval tips catback. I really like the sound and that's why I choose it over the ATLP plus I liked the oval tips more when I saw it on this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/photogr...-847328/page3/ Shot-out to aspecallday for the pics! It convinced me! I'm excited.

Hey guys sorry for the delay. Took a couple pics in the morning after I dropped my mom off the clinic. It was raining so pics aren't that great. I'll get better ones once I detail it in a few weeks. I love the oem look which is what I was aiming for. Nothing massive like 4" quad tips lol.
After a lil over 800 miles, the sound did tone down a bit on idle. If you're at constant RPM, the drone is minimal. I hardly here it. So cruising speeds will be okay. It's when you accelerate, the drone kicks in but dissipates once you reach speed if that makes any sense. I sometimes find myself a lil on the heavy foot side just to hear the exhaust from time to time. I try to be a lil more light footed but it's so hard lol. Shifting at 2k RPM is too soon for me but that's the best why to minimize the drone. The resonator does no good lol. It's loud. There's no other way to say it. So if you want attention and love to rev, this is the exhaust for you. If you want a subtle tone, buy a jpipe and custom mufflers. The ATLP will be just as loud but produces a different sound or tone.
Anyway here are the pics.

On a side note, wanted to add performancewise the mid range was a nice increase. Even throughout the rev range I noticed it. The needle litterally spikes after 4300 rpm. It's crazy lol. Mileage is about the same, even with a heavier foot so it might have increase if I were lighter on the gas. Who knows...

Update on Bella: she is leaking oil at the bottom. Prolly explains why the oil level is low. I wonder what they are gonna replace. I'm guessing a gasket of some sort I hope. I have an appointment for Thursday to drop her off and get an A1 service also. SMH.

I am happy with outcome. Mods are k&n air filter, rv6 v2 jpipe, xlr8 catback and 12+ 18" stockies for reference. And I unfortunately do not have any before runs. AFR is now 12.6 and tapers to 11.8 at redline. It was running lean on the first pull. I will do another run with lightweight wheels in the summer. I think I may be able to get to 280ish with HFPC/PCD and another tune but we'll see.
BTW, the oil was residual oil from replacing the prop shaft but still burns oil.
