I like vleds.com products, as far as the 194's. Quality is good.

Any exhaust shop can do it but its not hard installing a j pipe,if you can just get the bolts loose then its a piece of cake. PCD on the other hand is hard to install on teh tl cuz there's not much room at the back.



Anyways here's my TL,its an 05 6MT with Navi and A-spec everything except steering wheel.

Yeah order it,make sure its an experienced shop tho cuz i wont really trust a shop that hasnt done anything like that before. I'm not sure if Justin's cool with it but i know he did his at home by himself, so maybe i can ask him and if he agrees we can all install it together.

The only reason why the install was hard for me, was because the car was on jack stands.
I was laying on my back all day fighting the rusted bolts. Even with a breaker bar, it was tough.
After I got all the bolts off, the factory pipe came right off. It was kinda tricky holding up the aftermarket pipe and trying to bolt it up while laying on my back.

If it wasnt too windy/cold last night we would have re-bleeded it again with the Motul 5.1 but im glad we both got that issue of the abs/vsa fixed. I'll be coming over in a lil bit so we can do the Motul 5.1 bleeding.
