Now a inquiry for any of you assholes that actually read this rambling....

1) Current TL: 6MT swap with volks/hre/work
2) Trade for WDP TL-6
3) G37s black/black 6mt coupe
4) Genesis couple http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/coupe/
5) Perhaps a truck? Tundra?
6) ????
then i have a vehicle to tow my car to the track if needed







and i am seriously considering stripping my car, basically doing the TL diet, and turning it into basically a dedicated track car, and would need a truck to tow it

Nice manifold TC...here's my latest mod:



Still waiting on the exhaust...can't wait to get these mods on the car! And to get my small curb ding on one of the lips of my wheels fixed. It's only about 1", but it really pisses me off. God damn wheel grabbing car wash from like 6-8 months ago...NEVER go through those again. Ever. BTW, Kev you should go with option 1. Or just get volks/works/hre's for your current ride since so much has already been done to it.

v3 = failed emissions....not messing with that. Plus, I honestly don't think there is that much of a difference between the ATLP & RV6 v3...maybe Scott can chime in on this.

you just swap it back every two years.... (and even then your first emission test is JUST coming up); not like it is really that hard, everything is easily accesable

So No Car for me guys (at this point in time). Decided to pay off some Court Fees and Bought me a 50' LED Flat screen. Figured it would be a Bad Idea to get a Car and Risk bein pulled over and Fucked over again. Goin Let some time pass and Ill look for something. Or unless juaman wants to sell me his older TL LOL

I think the V3 is superior to the ATLP because it does delete the cat, without a race pipe, and the design seems to be the best for gas scavenging. Also the way my new exhaust is designed it should act as a perfect X-pipe causing better performance gains, IMO. Although the V2 ATLP has proven success so I am not knocking it.

The V3 will only fail if they do a visual AND they know what they are looking at. Otherwise Matt is right, very easy swap once every two years.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY the last time I was required to have emissions I didn't even have to go to an emissions place because the roadside emission scanners got me and I passed that way

I felt that if I was going to spend over 400 on this mod I wanted that third cat gone, otherwise why do it? Even at that I still have stock cats from the j-pipe to the engine so .

If you are really in it for performance and efficiency gains then you either get PCD's, or Hi-Flow Pre-Cats followed by a j-pipe with a 3rd cat delete and a high flow exhaust. Otherwise you will always have a bottleneck robbing power at some point in the exhaust system.

I will have my exhaust in by end of day tomorrow and I may do hi-flow pre-cats in the future, not sure yet.

also the real reasoning for that 3rd cat is to get the car into the ULEV emissions range, by cleaning the exhaust that much more to get the certification



and btw my old 94 accord passed emissions (before they were tightened up though) WITH A GUTTED CAT, so absolutely no cleaning up of the exhaust; basically saying Honda's are a relitively run cleaning car to begin with especially compared to other brands out there

Good point about the v3...hell, I might get a HFC down the road, but I want to see how the exhaust & jpipe perform/sound first and then I'll worry about that. Being that the ATLP is a tried & true proven piece I figure I have nothing to lose...besides it's ground clearance friendly = WIN!

About that picture....some things in life cannot be unseen...I think this qualifies under that category New thoughts...QUICKLY!!

On second thoughts, keep your car, GET A TUNE!, and get the wheels you want for it.

Agreed . 6 speed swap would be really nice, but from time to time you'll be okay with the auto.

I would pass on it... it would add to much blue to your car.

You should blackhouse the headlights and remove the amber diffuser
