hey all, first off i want to say that this forum is awesome! hope to get to meet a lot of you guys in the future.
i have owned many subarus my last one being a 500whp STi so this is a huge change but i must say i am truly in love with every bit of the car… minus the torque steer!!! :)
in the beginning of January i purchased a
2004 SSM 6 speed TL (bone stock, minus a k&n intake and a few led lights)
i am not one who can drive a car and leave it unmodified, its not in my blood.
a week after purchasing i already had a XLR8 j pipe installed, could feel the power difference instantly. But the sound just wasn't there.
Last week while down in florida i went to a reputable exhaust shop that is known for there custom exhausts and had a CBE made :)
exhaust sytem on my tl now consists of a XLR8 j pipe, one resonator and straight piped 2.5" piping all the way to end. no mufflers just straight piped and i love it!!!
have a custom fabricator making a set or 3.5" quad tips right now to finish up the exhaust setup.
and last but not least i am waiting for my type s front end conversion to arrive in the mail as well as the type s A spec front and rear lips :)
have many many other mods planed but i can't share everything or there won't be any fun in it :)
i created this thread to show the progress of my tl, to help me keep track of what I've done and to maybe give others ideas, and to hopefully post any questions that i might have. only have a few pictures of my car this is how she sat when i got her.
