Congrats. Maybe I'll start seeing another xB rolling around the area? Are you in the Peoria area?

Yeah im in canton, i saw your xb at the hooters super cruise in on saturday. Its definately nice!

im wanting to get rims but i dont want to void any warranty by getting the non trd rims, especially since i got the 100k bumper to bumper warranty.

I don't think so either. My dealer put Enkeis on my car before he even put it on the lot. Why they put the hubcaps on the RS-5 is beyond me...

No, rims won't void a warrenty. If you need any help with mods, look me up man. I've done pretty much everything on my xB myself. No sense paying a shop to do the work.

The huge scuba tank/resonator/cat is so restrictive that most of the axle-backs sound similar to the stock muffler... heck the borla single & dual axle-backs are just straight pipes with tips on them (no muffler at all). If you replace the scuba tank with a high-flow cat, you will be much happier with the sound of the TRD.

Hopefully you've been buying them from TRDsparks or one of the other discount sources, and not from your local stealership.

unfortunately i bought the muffler and rims from the stealership.
it was around 440 bucks for the muffler, and 545 bucks for the scion 16 inch alloys.
