Walter, I like your wheels too. Looks good on the SW.

It is like night and day. The best thing you can do is go to a dealer and drive one. Then understand that that a lowered xB2 rides very close to stock. The handing is much better without destroying the ride. Rear sway bar recommended too btw.

The only lowered (TRD springs) xB1 with 18" wheels I ever rode in was horrible compared to lowered gen 2's.
Sounds like lowered xB2 would = big points with the gf

hey drew, I like how the duals sound on the outside, but how is it on the inside? I dont have either the CAI or an exhaust upgrade and with the new staggered tires I am noticing considerably more noise in cabin already. I noticed you said the CAI actually sounds louder than the exhaust on the inside; that muse be a pretty loud piece!

To me its quiet under normal driving, Both the intake and exhaust are. Once you get on it the intake kicks in than the exhaust note and both are deep sounding. Will def make a video under normal driveing with windows up and down.



*UP-DATE*

Made a little video of normal driveing. Hope thins helps

Drewxb08 congrats on the sweet xb! It looks great and sounds pretty damn nice as well. I was really looking at different exhausts for mine and the Tsudo was an option. Up until this point though I hadn't heard any good sound bites but your vid was perfect. I think I am going to pull the trigger on this when I get the loot. I appreciate your time and input with that vid..thanks dude

I like CF hoods, but the look is not really gonna go with the grand scheme that I have in mind longer term. But I LOVE the vented hood look, so I am really looking at the VIS terminator hood in fiberglass
