all you need now is an LSD to take that corner full throttle. I tested in the rain and it did an excellent job...btw, don't play in the rain

Agreed. Nice pick-up. Def a fan of the L-Tuned series - next upgrade...LED tail lights? In my opinion, light housings seem to show the most age - the plastics in the headlights, foglight and tail lights fade. New LED tail lights should brighten it up for sure. Beautiful car though...congrats!

Thanks Joey!

Actually I need to fill the holes in the trunk where the spoiler was and pick out a new spoiler. Any suggestions? Also, the stock stereo sucks, gotta start searching on CL for recommendations there, then fix the driver's door lock.

PS, resetting the ECU was like getting a new car!!! Thanks guys!

Who do you recommend getting taillights and such from??

Thanks Sakataj!

Just ordered the Rod Millen 3 Piece rear spoiler from Carson tonight!

I hope I don't have to remove the emblems........well, at least the L-Tuned one for sure...

It needs tuning bad!! There's a lot of lag in the low end, almost a hesitation. I feel like its due to the intake. Resetting the ECU helped a lot, but I think that's why the SRT intake comes with a piggyback ECU. My K&N doesn't have that....

I think the k&n should be just fine. Get a NEO

Hey wildcat, did you leave the exhaust pipes oem and just add the x-pipe and removed the resonators? or did you upgrade the pipes also to bigger ones?

I kept the stock pipes in hopes of not losing any more low end torque. I had read that the GS's stock pipe was sufficient. I also read that there isn't much HP to be gained from exhaust so I mainly was looking for the "right" sound. Exotic V8, not old muscle car V8. I think it came out better than I even expected. The X pipe really give it that nice rasp.

Where do you get a NEO by the way?
