I can't wait for the tune, but also, I think you need to clean the engine bay a bit. It looks as atrocious as the 2024 Debate. And I apologize for injecting a bit of OCD.

[@urielcabrera3943]

Something I want all “car guys” to realize is that it’s not about how much hp or stance or money you put into a car. This man is smiling driving this accord. And that’s what the car culture should be about. Enjoying the car that you are in.

[@ifgezroxy]

Exactly. And respecting what others have, and what they want from their own car.

Love the exhaust sound. My headphones make it sound like an exotic. I've always liked the V10 sound. Even the 5 cylinder in that Audi. Nice job!!

[@Sebs.garage_]

The J series is criminally underrated in the Honda world. I did an OBX catback, Megan Racing test pipe, K&N intake and some others bits on a 2003 EX-L 6-6 coupe just like this but in silver about 12-13 years ago. The thing sounded so damn good. The exhaust manifolds and factory J pipe are where the car gets really choked up on the exhaust side if you want to make more power and add a bit of volume. A set of TL-S cams is also a great upgrade, and theres even a factory LSD for these.

[@AdmissionGaming]

Why you not keep

[@MarkDevine-hw8wr]

Nice vid! 2 KEY things: -Run the car on Premium 93 or 91 octane. Look it up. It's talked about a lot and is known to give these cars more power. It really woke mine up. Especially with mods. Give it a few days to adjust to Premium and re-learn. -Before dynoing, after any new mods drive these cars minimum 2-3 days with some good pulls. These cars respond well to mods but need time to adjust. Probably see nicer torque gains and HP on that dyno graph if you do.

[@TheOhsemix]

The way tuning works is that theirs already an established map for fuel and ignition. If theirs a high octane map it will adjust to those maps but no more. The misconception is that cars learn to use higher octane which is wrong they learn to detect knock and if theirs none present it won’t switch to a higher octane map IF it has one. On a car only made to use regular theirs no benefit without timing map tune which the ECU can’t change on its own. This comes from someone that’s worked with multiple tuning software and platforms and I also have a TSX which supports premium but even that car has shown no gains during testing.

[@hexagonosaurus5848]

You know jack shit about cars. Sorry.

[@justind9631]

⁠@@TheOhsemixyep this is true only time it’s beneficial to use a higher octane is if you get it tuned specifically on that octane

[@somdood3292]

ummm wow... good job on that exhaust... that sounds phenominal.... its not farty at all... its smooth and aggressive sounding without being obnoxious

[@bearto4703]

sounds near identical to the 350z in NFS Underground 2. (not a bad thing!)

[@yourivandervegt3811]

Omg yes! That's exactly what i was thinking!

[@itsdokko2990]

reminds me of the classic 6-cylinder sounds for the old NFSs like MW and Carbon, which i love

[@shannacollins4741]

Well you definitely need some headers for the Accord and the reason the car doesn't sound to bad without the exhaust is its a V6 !

[@hexagonosaurus5848]

Who would have thought its a V6...hmmm. Who are you people? Go watch teletubbies

[@HaiFisch_TV]

I had this v6! Honestly, I've never been a Honda guy, this was one of my favourite cars that I owned. Drove it across the country on a road trip and it was perfect!

Perfect setup accord

[@204_jseries6]

For some real fun, grab a 05-06 base pilot/van short block and swap out the pistons for 07 TL types S. Bumps you close to 11:1. I did that and swapped the 07 TL type s heads as well. PCD's, ATLS J pipe, tune and 2.5"exhaust has me sitting at 301 wheel and 274TQ. Next is 3" exhaust thanks to this vid! I'm running 13.0 on street tires in the 1/4 at the track

[@ElCrab]

Replaced all the cats this year, and since that had to be done, I had a shop build me a custom 2.5” setup. Magnaflow hi-flow cats, 2.5” all the way to two GReddy Revolution RS mufflers. No more resonators or anything in between. Has a nice burble at idle, and sounds fantastic when opened up. 2007 Accord EX-L V6 coupe in Nighthawk Black Pearl (like yours). Owned her since new, 260k thus far. Been replacing all the rubber slowly but surely (suspension, engine and transmission mounts), and working on cleaning/replacing all the sensors. She’s gotta take me across the country and back next month, so I don’t want any surprises.

Definitely Push them in an inch or two and down half an inch away from the bumper. Man does it sound amazing! Really nice job on the welds!

[@n-power-automotive]

The J30 does sound awesome. I traded my stock exhaust for a 2.5” custom bent exhaust and had 2003 Acura CL Type S mufflers welded on and combined with an AEM V2 cold air intake and a J-pipe it sounded so good.

[@MB7_7]

Usually on the J series platform biggest exhaust gains come from pre cat delete, aftermarket J pipe, and rhen a single exit 3" setup all the way back. I made 311 whp on my J35 that includes that setup. Duals look nice, but they're just not as effective on this platform!

[@seattlejdmcivic]

[@MattsShadow]

I wound up buying my mom's Accord from my dad in 2018 a couple years after her passing. 2007 V6 Sedan Automatic. I drove it for a couple years not modifying it due to the sentimental value. Then I just got the bright idea to put coilovers on it.. Then wheels, bushings, sway bars, front and rear strut bars, intake, full exhaust almost 1 to 1 your setup add high flow primary cats and J-pipe. Absolutely love the car but didn't like the performance limitations of the automatic. So about a month ago I bought another 2006 V6 Accord Sedan 6-speed and have already put it on coilovers and wheels lol. Love these cars and am excited to see what else you have in store. I plan on going turbo also and look forward to seeing how you plumb everything.

[@vexxx3758]

dude love the builds, you should give the accord a nice steering wheel, like mabye a suede or nice leather one. I did it in my daily and it makes it feel so much sportier

[@tvfred990]

Im so into this build!

[@fuscinha10]

I pretty much have the exact same scenario. I have a 2004 ex V6 six speed. I’m the second owner of the car and the previous owner took really good care of it. Have been wanting to modify it subtlety and really get the most out of its engine and potential. Really looking forward to see what I could expect, and how much power and handling you end up getting. The sound of the car alone now is amazing!

[@metalmuscle5083]

Dude that sounds perrrrfect.

[@CalvinKlaassen]

[@dagreatgarage]

Make sure you put a clutch master from an em2 in there. 7th Gen accords/8th Gen Si have this weird bladder inside of it to make “comfortable shifts” or something stupid…my 7th gen had one and I put en EM2 one in and can grab gears waaaaaaay better
