Yea, after the last meet and seeing TL-S next to a bunch of base 3gs, I wanted to stand out a lot more than it currently does. I like the chrome bars in the grille right now, but I could live without them. How much does it end up lowering the car body?

 

I believe the kit takes it down about 3/4" to 1".

 

Do you have a pic of your body matched engine bay?

 

A-Spec most def. It looks badass all around. Especially the front.
Our cars are too bubbly in the front. It adds definition and highlights your fog lights.

A-Spec kit was one of my first mods that I got. If I were you, I would do A-Spec and lower her a tad. Just remember wheel gap is like pussy, the less fingers you can slide in the better off you are.

 

Amen! I couldn't agree more with the "bubbly" comment. I couldn't think of the words to say so I just said makes the body flow better.

When you gonna add me to the Illest Crew BTW?

 

nerdie lol

 

Not a very good pic, plus it is a little thin on the paint (didn't order quite enough the first time )

I will have to snap a new one after I add more paint, looks really good with my new gunmetal CAI.




I like how you think!

 

Aspec for sure, the cover looks pretty good too.

 

Whenever you want to give me those ill wheels.

lol... ok.

Get to it! We need photo eye candy. Make sure to put in background props for us to point out.

 

Anyone in CO snowboards? Girly just dropped off a new board.
I plan to break it in this week.

 

LOL will do! So, next question is XLR8 Quad Exhaust or A-Spec Kit first?


I would snowboard, but I tend to end up on my ass more than anything else

 

A-Spec without a doubt.
XLR8 and ATLP has too much drone. Plus you already have quad tips which is their biggest selling point.

 

LOL Hell Ya!

Dam dnt mean to hijack the thread But i Got the 8 digit code and for the life of me i cnt add the extender to Pc to stream content

 

I hear yea, ive read up some on the drone, supposevly XLR8 is working on something to help eliminate that, but you know how that goes.

What's your suggestion on an exhaust setup than? My only other idea was get a custom exhaust system at the shop that did my CL (Bud's Muffler). Think it be possible to keep the stock tips and just add new pipes?

 

What operating system is the CPU running on?

 

Absolutely, anything is possible with someone creative behind the torch!

 

maybe just add an reasonator ; that's what they are designed for afterall (and you are talking minimal losses with it appropriately sized; especially with a straight through design)

 

iirc Scott/trendzero did exactly that

 

I just bought an 03 cls 6! Dark grey with black interior.

 

anthracite (sp?) you mean, you missing out on that 6 speed action...

navi?

also i got the perfect set of rims for it too

 

No navi. I got it for 10,991 with 85,000 miles on it. Needs a drop bad.

 

not bad at all , and i think we should gut it and made it a track/sunday night racer (and i don't mean at bandimere either lol; i need another TL/CL there )

 

Bastard!!! Let me have ur other 1

Windows 7 HP Mini 110

 

J, pics or it didn't happen.

What She Said!!

 

Pics will come later.

 

Hot Board Kevin, looks like a vintage burton shirt I had many years ago. I do board but just spent all my money on other things. We'll need to go up soon. Were do you board?

Actually, I just replaced the tips but hated how they looked so put the old tips back on but extended them so they would be flush with the A-Spec kit. I am ordering the RV6 exhaust in about a month or so. I just ordered the RV6 V3 J-Pipe but most likely won't install until I get the exhaust

Congrats buddy and welcome to the AM Crew, AKA Royale Hotness Look forward to seeing it and seeing what you have in store for the CL.

 

AM Crew growing in numbers. Jerks.

Scott, I don't have a season pass so I board where ever. Usually the closer mountains but I like Copper for some reason. Going boarding riiiiiight now! See you bitches up there.

 

I have been looking hard into this exhaust question for awhile now. I have done full exhaust mods to all my cars but told myself I wasn't going to for the TL.... Oh well So here is what I found in my research.

Here is how I ranked them based on my needs (Good performance gains, great sound from outside, minimal to no interior cabin drone, not raspy, good looking tips)

1. RV6 - Great performance gains when coupled with J-Pipe; great sound and minimal cabin drone. Also their quad setup for the base/a-spec looks hawt.
2. Comptech - Good solid company with okay gains. No interior drone but sounds good in WOT. Do not like the tips too much, think they are too small for the exhaust opening.
3. Tanabe - Solid product with good gains. Minimal to no cabin drone like the Comptech but like comptech do not like the tips for my car, no offense Kevin, yours look great with your car On that note another Mile High member has this setup and wanted something different.
4. ATLP - Great looking tips (the quad setup, hate the base setup ) great sound from the outside and proven gains. But loud cabin drone and that is a deal breaker for me.
5. XLR8 - Basically the same as ATLP but even worse cabin drone and from what I hear also raspy.
6. Greddy - Great gains but very loud, interior drone, and huge mufflers and tips.... not my style.

I normally replace the heads as part of the exhaust but we don't have them so replacing the J-pipe is a must if you want a fully effective/efficient exhaust system on your car.

I personally think you have the BEST tips of over any aftermarket setup I've seen, hats off to Acura, so if it was me, I would do whatever to your exhaust but keep your OEM tips.... They were born for the TL .

 

not in your car i hope.

 

Good info here! I really like my tips right now as well. My only problem with mine is the chrome needs some good polishing. I was looking at the RV6 set up last night, and it looks promising. You going for the true dual setup?

I have never really installed anything mechanical on a car myself (CAI was my cherry popper), but I would like to learn and do as much as I can on the TL-S. So, how hard would it be to order a full aftermarket setup and slap it on?

 

True dual FTW. just ordered his j-pipe this morning. Hopefully some people get it installed soon so we can get some testimonies.

Installing these components is much easier than the CAI install IMO. They are all bolt on systems. Obviously, if your going to weld your old tips on it would require a trip to the exhaust shop. I be happy to loan my garage, tools and time to help you with it if you wanted.

 

FUCK MY LIFE. Girly's pilot was sliding all over the place. Had to turn my ass around.

 

Fuck no. I wouldn't plow the roads if someone tried to pay me. Slammed, Z Rated Summer tires is also a no go.

Horrible phone pic but here she is. I'll post better pics later.

 

Nice. I like the wheels. OEM CL wheels?

 

^ Sexy Bitch

 

Yep oem CL wheels. I don't really care for them that much but they're clean. Very minor curb rash, very minor. The guy who traded it in almost cried. He didn't want to part ways with it but had to cause his wife said he needed a 4 door for the new baby. His loss, my gain! Love this car already.

 

Very Nice

I always liked the CL, all generations of it.

 

Shit, I just drove home on my lunch break and was having a hard time grabbin traction too. The damn VSA light was flashin at me every 5 seconds

Sucks you had to turn around though.
