pics coming tonight hopefully - after i fixed the battery issue from the prior post I took her for a nice long drive -- the exhaust sounds perfect .. not too loud but def aggressive and little to no drone - and when you hit it ... man the sound is so good... def completes the car.
Thanks everyone for your advice -- UPDATE :: it was in fact the battery .. took it to autozone to get it diagnosed and it was dead dead dead .. not able to hold a charge. After my initial post I spoke with my father and it turns out he had been raising the top up and down to show people .. lol...
.. agreed ... unfortunately I have no way of knowing how old the battery that is in there is, it looks spotless under the hood .. literally like a brand new car ... so very hard to tell. Hopefully the 2amp trickle will do the trick and it will start tonight. I will update if it worked.
Pic of exhaust - sorry for the blur -- long night and shaking camera hand .. the burn marks you see are from the stock exhaust that was on there - the previous owner had them touching the bumper ..:rolleyes:
I hear you - but my questions are all around upgrades - and after doing research I think the battery issue is what is causing the car to act up. Since it has been bought the car it has been sitting in a garage and only started and ran for 30-40 seconds a time about 2-3 times a week. I believe I...

Argh ... yes .. my apologies ... trust me this is not my only forum I am not . it shames me some times the laziness I allow for .. lol .. I wil search :)

Hey guys,
A couple of the little bulbs appear to be out on my driver side (the orange running light and the little white one on the inner side of the housing) - not really worried about those - just replace the bulb. My concerns is the yellow splotches that appear on each side in the upper...
Thanks guys - I came to the same conclusion after much searching yesterday. We ended up going with SLP powerflo unit -- due to cost (not my call) ...but it should improve the look and sound quite a bit ... I will come back with pictures.. :thumbsup
Hey guys - I have searched everywhere and can not find an exact answer. Can c6 axle back mufflers fit on a 2005 xlr?
edit:: found the answer on another post - thanks guys
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to express my excitement that I just joined this forum. I just purchased a 2005 XLR (The ruby red color - sorry didnt look it up) with my father at a Meccum Auto Show last weekend. This my first post :)
At any rate. I wanted to ask - as one of the first mods my father...
