Question about HID's and S-Pipe

[KnightRida71]

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you have installed the Mod-Express HID's and I wondered how easy they are to install??? Im getting mine in the mail today...There 6000k's.
And about the S-Pipe, Does it make your exhaust throadier???? I have a Greddy Ti-C axleback on my TC. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I'm going to assume that you have the '08 tc with the stock projector healights.

It's a piece of cake 10min install if you know what you're doing.

Have you done anything similar to this before?

I have the mod express 6000k also. Everything was good except for when I tried to plug in the hid bulb harness to the ballast. It looks like it goes in 1 way, but you'll have to flip it around & put it on the difficult way. You'll know what I'm talking about once you open the kit & test fit the pieces.

To me the 6000k is about as bright as the regular headlights, but the glare created lights up signs further down the road. I dunno, maybe my expectations were too high for the 6000k & I should've stuck with the 5000k?

As for the s pipe... I haven't gotten that far modding yet lol

I actually have an 06 TC with the regular headlights. Im pretty mechanically inclined because I have a '71 Plymouth Roadrunner and that thing always has something to work on. Thats american muscle for you.

I got the H11 bulbs which are correct I hope because I saw you say that in a previous post.

Anybody have an S-Pipe here?? I wanna know what it would do to my exhaust tone.

You need a conversion kit, if you don't have the stock projector headlamps.

HID's without projectors is kind of a moot point.

I think h11 bulbs are for the 08 tC projectors. 9006 are the 05-07 low beams, 9005 are high beams. Google the Osram Sylvania company and use their bulb referance chart to check what you havve. I think you may need to reorder new bulbs...

[Soulbane]

Yes sir, the H11 are for the 2008 tC's with the new projector housing.

Graphite I ordered the same ones as you. 6000k HID's. You got the 9006's right? Thats what I need Im just gonna send the package right back and reorder the 9006's. Thanks for your help guys.

Any comments on the S-Pipe yet???

Removing any restriction in an exhaust system is going to increase flow and lower pressure. This, inexcertibly, will cause an increase in decibel level. The S-pipe, however, does not have a resonating effect like a catalytic convertor or muffler has so the increase in sound should be minimal. Unfortunately, I changed my header at the same time so I cannot be certain of the exact increase in sound.
