    Do you see XLRs??

    I agree he got inside them. Their were acouple spotting s of the same car with more pictures. You can see the grayish outline around the lense perfectly which would tell me he didn't overlay a film on the outside. The small running light near the center still had the reflective area around it...

    Headers & Cats installed

    I stand corrected. It's the lc3 platform which is in the xlrv and the stsv. Then switched to the LS platform. Would think their might be more aftermarket parts but might be just as rare with short production. Great car though!

    3157 LED replacement help! - may have fried the battery .. please assist

    Not knowing if their are previous problems I would think from your explanation that your battery is on it's way out or deeply drained. Just leaving the car untouched without a tender for long periods could drain some. These cars are prone to do weird things with a low battery. :( Changing out...

    Letter from Cadillac about manual access

    I too received the letter. Curious to how they got the address. It was mailed to a different address other than the renewal address? It's a cadillac letter. But the pictures were of a corvette and terrible ones at that. They probably didn't have any xlr pictures left. :(

    Headers & Cats installed

    Just to throw it out there. What about buying a set of headers from a LS motor and modifying those to work. Exhaust flanges should be the same and engine bays are just as tight? Vettes have almost the same exhaust layout. Haven't seen underneath a cts v to say? ALOT cheaper and quicker than...

    2005 XLR axle back exhaust or less expensive options

    Theirs only a couple manufacturers of a axle back system. Magnaflow,corsa,and Gibson. All three are in the same price boat. Yes a c6 axle back system will work and bolt up years 05-13. The one modification that will need to be made is the spacing between the end of the muffler and the start of...

    XLR...The Unknown Cadillac?

    For anyone that washes and waxes their own car they have to hate the xlr badging. EVERYTIME I come across the badging with my towels it's wants to snag the X and the R on the emblem. I would like to take them off for just that reason. Other than that I think the badging is pretty minimal. Most...

    Cadillac duffel bag

    Yeah I can read and no where in your first post stated any numbers that's why pure zen asked. I'm not gonna copy the post again but read your post again. Your wording is misleading just like your Brazilian seller.

    Help! Advice needed re: catalytic converter, and response to questions appreciated

    Oh I know that the white smoke coming from the cars isn't co2. It's burning oil! Which if the pos had to take emissions would be banded from being on the streets. What do you think all that oil is doing to a cats. Blowing unburnt fuel out the exhaust is bad emissions. I know pass. cars are a...

    Help! Advice needed re: catalytic converter, and response to questions appreciated

    I would hope all states require it! In illinois they stop after a certain year back. Which I think is ass backwards. Those are the cars that need to be tested. I see 90's model cars blowin smoke everywhere. A clogged cat would restrict airflow from that entire side of the engine. Probably...

    Help! Rear Window

    Oh it's possible I've done it. Once. It is difficult you have to kneel on the pass. Seat use your left arm and turn your palm upright. You do the whole window at once. Don't try splitting it. You are contorted but its possible. Some say they partly open the roof stopping it at a point that looks...

I actually found his address on some info in the manuals so I sent him all the CDs back. Didn't want...

    Daily Chat

    I was very surprised to see anyone parked in that same lot let alone next to me. It was seriously 50 yards from the next group of cars. When the man decided to let them in the van between the two cars and not on the other side I was surprised again so I just kept a eye on the situation. My blood...

    CUSTOM EXHAUST TIP

    Look under different exhaust tips in the search box. I replaced my exhaust awhile ago. Big thing was to put a better tip on her. I had seen that exhaust tip manifold that you have pictured. I wanna say that tip setup is like 600 or 800 bucks. :( I had the same idea of trying to match the lines...
