Definitely gotta get some shots. Maybe i might have some HP/TQ boost by then ...right now the power has increase significantly with the mods...take a look at the video below at around the :20 seconds point when i pull the 3rd gear the rear of the car just digs down on the pavement. Also, as the exhaust breaks in the tone gets even better and deeper. I likey .

Think i'm going to contact JnC to do my rear tail lights and paint the trim black. Tried and failed horribly with installing the red tint and i can't find a shop in my area that will do it. Oh well....

Oh snap!!

My bad Pete. Your ride is just as hot.
Gotta give credit where it's do. Both rides are fantastic and well modded. I guess the video of the XLR8 driveby side-tracked my emotions.

You guys are making the 4G look very appealing!
Unfortunately, it's not in my future. I'm saving up for an e60 M5.

Haha - was just messing with ya. I missed getting videos up in place. I still plan on doing it as I don't have the intake, so we can all hear the difference (plus my exhaust is fully broken in and at it's mature sound now).

At least you tried, so you get a grade of 'A' for effort. LOL.
JnC does great work so i know the rear view of your ride will look much better when completed.

It's really nice look... but I still love my OEM tips if I have the exhaust I may want to custom weld the OEM tips on the XLR8 exhaust( just my opinion)

^ They've been some back and forth opinion on the XLR8 tips in other threads. In person the tips looks hot and its clear they are not OEM...everyone that sees them know you got something back there. If you want to keep the OEM look, the way the XLR8 tips are welded on you can easily cut them off and put on whatever design you like. So it can be done with some modifications.

Brief Summary!!!
In the vid below i was driving my daily drive using moderate throttle.
When accelerating and downshifting the exhaust sound increases (you know you got something back there).
When pushing hard on the gas pedal the exhaust gives a real loud deep sound (very exotic sounding)...but when cruising it's a soft tone...One can have a conversation in the car without having to speak loud.
Also there is little to no drone with the new technology XLR8 have put into the exhaust system.
Here's the video

Right now my suspension is dialed in with everything in the green. Front camber is -0.31 / Rear camber is -0.37 and my toe is set to neutral 000.

The ride feel solid...not to hard not to soft and handles great for me at 9 front and 11 rear dampening. The drop is a little over 2 inches front and rear. I also recommend you get the EDFC so you can make dampening adjustments with the touch of a button. Such a nice feature to have.

man, your 4G TL makes it soooo nice! I never thought about blacking out the grill before. Didn't buy it because of the giant ugly grill, but now you've changed my mind on it. Make me regret now for not getting one. Great job!
