Awesome vid, guys - very informative and fun to watch. Thanks for the support!

[@ahcgarage]

Our pleasure! Love your products!!

Wish there was a shop like yours up here in Canada! You guys are extremely talented. This channel is going to blow up!

[@ahcgarage]

Wow, thank you!

[@onlythedeuce4579]

Luckily they posted it on KZbin for you to do yourself.

[@whyschool1]

From someone learning by a bunch of KZbin videos, I can definitely say this video is very informative & super entertaining to watch, awesome video guys, keep it up

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you very much!!

[@JayJay-he9bk]

This channel will have 100k subscribers soon. Great content.

[@ahcgarage]

Much appreciate it 🙌🏼

[@djsthemetereman]

Yeah as a 21 type s owner I agree, I'm constantly looking for upgrades

[@osamahalsaidi2477]

If you painted the “PRL” red instead of black, it would’ve looked cool to match the red brakes and type-s badge

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Nice job as always guys, looks like a great upgrade and it sounds real nice on the road, it's a joy to watch you and Jon work together everything you do is always done in a professional manner with nothing rushed or forced into place which is how it should be 👏👌👍 John UK.

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks John. Nothing better 2 gearheads doing something they loved.

[@Flekr]

That Integra in the back is on point 👌

[@TheDanielGarcia]

Hey since you have experience in the Acura dealership Garages. Would the PRL void Acura’s warranty? I just got a TLX and loving all these upgrades

[@lafaders]

Just ordered mine today! Can’t wait 😎

[@Damnthatscrazy-]

Honestly you guys deserve more viewers I love these, keep it up!

[@ahcgarage]

Much appreciated!

[@laulueher6647]

As always, very awesome video! That PRL intercooler looks real nice!! Looking forward to your next one!

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks! 👍

[@bucho9979]

Thank you sir!!

[@budsranit9314]

love your work guys wish you were in new york!i would have wanted this done on my tsx! cant trust dealerships in my area😂

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you

[@NathanielDuguid]

great video also to put trans in sport mode after putting car in sport plus hit the d button youll see the dash say s trans will feel diff try it

[@freshwhipss33]

That beat was lowkey hard 😂

[@Blotter_Boy]

Solid video! I plan to do this as well as an exaust swap since the aspec rear bumper bolts straight on, get some sound and the look it should of had from jump, have you installed a s-vcm or anything of that nature to keep vcm off to have full engine power at all times? I plan to do that as well

[@brandonalston6466]

I have learned alot about my type s from these videos thanks guys

[@shawcobra]

So is upgrading the inter-cooler on the TLX just a straight upgrade, or are there some downsides to changing the factory cooler to an aftermarket one?

[@ahcgarage]

We can't see any downside on the upgraded intercooler, specially if you live in hot climate like South Florida

[@alienbytecomputers8685]

How Much for a Install on this....I have 2023 Tlx Type S does it fit this year model?

[@tonyg5688]

That interior is amazing

[@ahcgarage]

It sure is!!

[@watafomyfren8213]

That green GSR tho 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Malukofix]

beautiful job ...but one question after I put that intercooler on it is it necessary to tune dyno it or is it not necessary

[@ahcgarage]

No Ecu calibration required

[@petrgordon2167]

The TLX is more sporty than the Integra, and that's the one I'd buy and put integra on it. The new integra is more luxury than sport body wise.

[@MikeHowl]

Do they make one for a TLX 2.0 I4?

[@ahcgarage]

Sure does, here's the link: prlmotorsports.com/products/2021-acura-tlx-2-0t-intercooler-upgrade?_pos=3&_sid=7c6641d9d&_ss=r

[@prashamkarunanithi9064]

Excellent installation for the tlx type s. Can you do more builds and installs for the tlx type s, especially the PMC edition. Tuning, muffler delete,downpipe, oil catch can, cold air intake and dyno results as well. More TLX Type s videos please. Keep up the awesome work.

[@krellerj1111]

Mike must be going crazy with this mod, Cause it’s not OEM!!!😂😂😂😂! Nice job John/Mike

[@ahcgarage]

Haha, probably killing Mike not having Oem labels. But we love PRLs parts, super high quality and made in the US

[@prm5798]

Can you guys provide a link to the bumper clip removal tool that John is using? Thanks

[@ahcgarage]

Great one. We have just updated the description for that tool. Here's the link: amzn.to/3wXVMj1

[@DaRealFreddyJTLXTypeS]

Nice job. Thanks for video. Owner should have swap out filter with the PRL one. I will have to order this kit now after seeing this video. I hate I missed you guys in Bridgewater.

[@ahcgarage]

We do have a Stage 1 kit incoming. We love PRL stuff. We will be back to Bridgewater, hope to see you next time!!

[@133levi]

Will you be taking this car to the dyno to see what gains it’s made.

[@ahcgarage]

Soon

[@Johnny-ie2dc]

Hi Guys, get video. I have to ask why PRL over the other manufacturers? I have a 2020 Accord and have been think of intercooler and down pipes and intake upgrades. Thanks in advance

[@ahcgarage]

We have been using PRL's products for a while and love the fitment and finishes. They engineered their products very well to the specific vehicle. As you can see on this one, they are perfect.

[@lexbraxman9270]

What a great mechanic

[@MrDeenice101]

Nice vid!! Question does this fit 2022 TLX Aspec

[@ahcgarage]

Check out this link: prlmotorsports.com/products/2021-acura-tlx-2-0t-intercooler-upgrade?_pos=4&_sid=43360f6c3&_ss=r

[@dbrandon4528]

Love the TLX

[@jakefitness]

What is the difference between the factory intercooler and the new one? What does it do to the car and how does it help ? I know it helps with cooling and such but I would like specifics comapred to the orignal intercooler.

[@luhsmo6678]

Keeps the car cooler, therefore slightly enhancing power, charge pipe upgrade may add a little sound to the intake, this was all said in the video btw

[@pavelrokhin7477]

@AHCGarage Hi guys! Awesome job, just wonderful! Would you please advise if you install it in Florida and if yes, who I contact to for OEM and PRL or Tein parts installations? Many thanks!

[@ryanshalley7327]

For sure the rubber trim piece has to be eliminated? PRL description says utilizes factory air ducts/shrouds. Just wondering as mine is in order. Excellent descriptive video!!!!

[@ahcgarage]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ryanshalley7327]

Sorry should have rephrased that better. Does the rubber piece for sure need to be eliminated?

[@JFity50]

I got dibs on Jonathon when i come in for any services at acura‼️

[@ahcgarage]

Cheers!!

[@evans.2944]

You think we can see a dunk after any new mods you do to the TLX?

[@Ledwinl0718]

Wondering if this fit to the MDX TYPE S

[@frederickchan615]

I would recommend a wire mesh behind the bumper grille opening to protect the intercooler from rocks and debris damage...

[@casawimill]

Would this complete kit work on my MDX Type S given the engines are similar?

[@ahcgarage]

Unfortunately this kit will not work on the MDX-S

[@AaronTzarathe]

Can you guys do a walk through of the aspec pro intercooler install?

[@xhondaboii305x]

I thought TLX had 2 throttle body because of twin turbo or it’s single turbo ??

[@ahcgarage]

It’s single turbo

[@gs225109]

Awesome! When will you upgrade the TURBOand DOWNPIPE????

[@ahcgarage]

At the moment, there's none available

[@LinuxRacr]

Holy shit, what an ordeal, but what a difference!!!

[@janikakis]

Love these super long videos... can you guys put timestamps in the future though?

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for always tuning in. What do yo mean by timestamps?

[@janikakis]

@@ahcgarage Some content creators will have an index and the bottom of the video so we can rewind or revisit a section... like for example a section here could be "unboxing", "unmounting the bumper", "installing the charge pipes"

[@glennc100]

Does this fit the MDX type S? If not, will PRL be coming out with a MDX version?

[@ahcgarage]

MDX-S is currently under development, stay tuned for that video on our channel

[@andrewmoreno7193]

Did you guys reuse the rubber o ring gasket for the intercooler??

[@ahcgarage]

Yes

[@alucarus6]

Anyone know if those wheels will fit on the new MDX? Those are such a clean design.

[@ahcgarage]

Yes they will

[@ibleejtxivzoo7856]

Big Turbo upgrade next please

[@scottanders5333]

Hey , what cat-back exhaust do you recommend for the type s ?

[@edlocurcio6172]

As someone whos waiting for their intercooler to come in this is nice to see. What can i expect to come in the box with said ordered intercooler?

[@ahcgarage]

Intercooler kit will comes with the coupling that will connect to the stock pipings

[@Eric-qx7fg]

what happened to the white FK8? Loved the build, such a shame...

[@djsthemetereman]

I'm thinking about doing this, I've already got high flow catts & full cat back exhaust plus K tuner, so I'm curious what kind of gains I can obtain from installing one of these

[@mgw-arajhd3014]

K tuner V2?

[@djsthemetereman]

@@mgw-arajhd3014 Yes & it's been a blast

[@orlandoflores72]

I will use red in the intercooler, it's will looks awesome from the outside.

[@pablomatias4664]

Nice video guys, looks great that modification but you didn't say how many hp and pounds feet of torque increase the car with this

[@ahcgarage]

This is a strictly installation guide video. We will have more video in the near future covering that

[@pablomatias4664]

[@ahcgarage]

Coming soon with some PRL goodies

[@itsstuck1688]

Can this be done to a regular A-Spec?

[@ahcgarage]

Yes, they offered the same for the 2.0T

[@georgeantonio4940]

300 things just to removed a front bumper 😩🤦🏽‍♂️ miss old design, so easy

[@ahcgarage]

New advance technology requires some complexity

[@Shane-zx4ps]

@@ahcgarage. You would think technology moving forward would make things simpler with less complexity.

[@ronburgundy4375]

You're right that is a bit excessive

[@ronburgundy4375]

That's why I changed from mechanics to autobody,Smith south Bronx.89 of 89.

[@CalisRemedy]

Can the type-s be tuned for more horsepower

[@ahcgarage]

JB4 has very promising result already but it's not a fully tuned system. K-tuner should be available very soon

[@Echoes_of_Power]

What's the name of the 1st instrumental. That was fire!!!

[@Thats_X_]

Does PRL have a aftermarket pipe from air box to manifold?

[@ahcgarage]

Are you referring to intake system? If so, they do offer an Stage one intake system, here's the link: prlmotorsports.com/products/2021-acura-tlx-type-s-stage-1-intake-system?_pos=4&_sid=0b4039895&_ss=r

[@Thats_X_]

@@ahcgarage i am referring to the pipe from the air filter box connected to the intake manifold that looks oem. I was curious if prl had made one to replace the the oem.

[@imcnblu]

Phewwww... 9,000 screws, clips, pieces of plastic and other stuff just to take the front bumper off. That's why I like old school Hondas. Four bolts, six screws and the bumper of my DA is on the ground in under five minutes. I'd hate to schedule two weeks of vacation time just to swap an intercooler. 🤣

[@ahcgarage]

Haha, due to the complexity of the safety regulation and advance technology, there's a lot jammed into these used to be simple components.

[@imcnblu]

@@ahcgarage Lol. Yeah. Truth be told, I don't totally dislike working on the newer ones. It's fun to stay up to date. I just greatly prefer the older stuff. The only downside there is that genuine parts are becoming almost impossible to find. :(

[@DigitalChaoS]

Do you guys offer services for those who want this installed on their type-s? Is this installed on mine.

I just got mine today, would you guys be able to install it for me?

Just bought a new 2023 Type s and i already want to do this lol but i don’t want my warranty to get drawn

[@ahcgarage]

Can’t blame you 😁

[@pawg206]

Funny thing about these type of cars is that’s all you can do. There’s no turbo upgrade or bigger intake manifold. Always a set limited.

[@ahcgarage]

For the moment, but soon aftermarket support will be available

[@robertragland6084]

P2R has ported intake manifold, throttle body, ported heads

[@pawg206]

@@robertragland6084 that’s pretty much it. Unless we have more grassroots racer willing to go above and beyond I don’t see to much aftermarket support for high horsepower.

[@pawg206]

@@robertragland6084 not really, you can buy a base gt mustang for 40k and a whipple supercharger kit for 11k and with tune it’ll make 800whp on pump gas. Not near 90k. And about the same weight as the TLX.

[@V10Killer2JayZee]

I think these can be tuned with a jb4

Intercooler is MSRP at $1149.99 and Charge Pipe Kit is TBA. They do have a 10% off Memorial Day Special. Full links are in the description

[@MyGodzilla33]

dose it add more horse power?

[@ahcgarage]

We have yet to finalize the dyno result but it will definitely get some performance enhancement in terms of horsepower

Hey,so I could do the same for the MDX type s?

[@ahcgarage]

MDX-S is currently in the works. Should be available in the coming months.

[@jerusalem6559]

Bro, great great job, but I disagree with you on one thing… this is definitely not a diy job unless that person does what you do for a living 😄

Can this prl intercooler work on the Tlx Aspec?

Do a video on the jb4 for this car.
