I Bought A Modded Acura TL Type-S!

Picked up a new daily! I've always thought this was Acura's most timeless looking 4-door. I'm loving the car so far, and I've already got some mods in mind for the future...stay tuned!
P.S. If you could drop a like, it really helps the channel grow, I appreciate it!
Current Mod List:
- BC Coilovers
- RV6 high flow precats(gutted)
- Secondary-cat delete
- XLR8 resonated catback with rear muffler deleted
- OEM Aspec + splitters all around
- OEM window visors
- Cheap rear diffuser
- Throttle body coolant bypass
- EGR valves unplugged
- JDM motor(slightly bigger cams/injectors)
New videos coming with the W204 C63, Porsche, G35, TL Type-S and more soon!

It even has the Aspec side skirts, that’s awesome. I would definitely restore those yellow headlights as my first small project. Oh and Btw it’s Nighthawk Black Pearl.

Excellent shape for a model of that year, love to see a vid of you reviewing the driving quality or potentially doing more mods

[@danielavalos8466]

Hey man, I was just wondering at 0:46 when it made the “ brap brap “ sounds, was that you hitting redline and then shifting? Or did that just happen in between shifting gears?

[@danielavalos8466]

I also did not realize it was automatic so does that play a part in it?

[@NickTrelford]

Yeah that’s just me banging redline between shifts😂 It also has a limiter(fuel cut) when revving in neutral-I don’t remember if the manual does that as well however

It really depends on your area! I would suggest comparing it to other Type-S’ for sale near you and depending on spec/condition make your choice-you can always check Kelly Blue Book as well for a general idea of what you should be paying

if thats an auto and it bouncing off the limiter then it needs a shift solenoid and possibly the pressure switches asap, and I mean asap.

I let it bounce off limiter on purpose, it normally doesn’t
