[@swagysongs7895]

Hey there I just finally got my acura tl type s, and I am thinking about making it a little bit louder. Would u recommend me just cut the mufflers off and get a straight pipe? Also, I am not too much into cars topic and I have so many questions about what's the cat, the resonator, is okay just to cut off the mufflers and so? hahaha I really apreciate if someone explain me.

[@NickTrelford]

If you take the mufflers off I’d recommend leaving the “cats” or catalytic converters(they’re for emissions) in place as it can start to get really loud/raspy without them which isn’t optimal for a daily driver-also the car will smell like gas. For reference, my TL is louder than my V8 C63 with long tube headers lol😅

[@swagysongs7895]

@@NickTrelford Hey thanks for the response, I was doing my research about it and was able to understand about the resonators and mufflers. I went to check my acura and realized It has no resonator on it haha, thinking going for the mid mufflers off. I just want my car louder enough to catch everyone attention when I gas on it and for the daily use.

[@E85_STI]

I’m looking at buying a 2008 tl type s manual and it’s black so the guy is asking 1,500 over excellent condition on kbb and it’s not in excellent condition but in pretty good condition so I think I’m going to get it as my daily because my STI stays parked and that’s my power car so I just want something pretty stock and lowered. The black looks clean and that’s why I want to get this one.

[@NickTrelford]

This thing was supposed to be my daily and then of course I fell down the mod rabbit and ended up boosting it😂 They’re sick daily’s though man I’d definitely recommend it

[@E85_STI]

@@NickTrelford so I’m still looking for one and the black manual 08 type s I found I put on hold because I’m currently adding more to my STI again as I just bought the Jet fighter turbo cover for my precision turbo so now it will make sounds like the T51R turbos that come in the skyline and GTRs they are so loud and now mine will be loud so I figured instead of spending 12k on a car I could spend a few hundred on my current car. I still want a TL though.

[@NickTrelford]

I hear you bro I need to finish all of my projects before I start looking at new cars, it’s hard to know when to stop though haha But that thing will sound crazy, T51R’s sound like a Learjet😂🔥

[@E85_STI]

@@NickTrelford exactly and I’ll be posting a video of how it sounds but I’m talking to a guy about his 2008 TL type S manual and I’m thinking about buying it because these sound so good straight pipe and I’ve never heard it until I saw your video. My car is straight pipe and sounds so mean especially when the wastegate opens but you have a beautiful car bro. The one I’m looking at is white though and the other one is black but has been wrecked and fixed so sucks

[@E85_STI]

@@NickTrelfordI bought the 08 type s and I just got the 3 muffler delete and resonator out. The exhaust sounds good but I think I’ll need the j pipe install because it’s not loud enough for me. I fixed other things like all led turn signals and all led interior leds with a diode dynamics relay flasher, I just bought a K&N intake for it as well.

[@Notvisible-yx2to]

How did you make it purple coming to a stop? Do you upshift and downshift right away or just by feathering the pedal?

[@NickTrelford]

Yeah it’s the upshift/downshift trick! Like you said, I let off of the gas, upshift and then downshift before the mechanical upshift actually begins, and it sends extra fuel so it burbles like crazy lol

[@alfredoramirez8714]

yoo I got a type s and wanna do this exhuast setup what exactly did you do ?

[@masterprocastinator1125]

I got a 07 TL Type-S (auto) and was wondering how you did the apple car play install and kept the navi system (couldn't find a good diy)? Also my TL is stage 3 and has the dynomax resonator swap and middle muffler delete with stock pre cats and rear mufflers. I want to know if the rv6 precats would be worth it or if there's no point lol. Did you tune your TL cause mine has no tune and I hate the auto shift programming when driving in manual mode. Please let me know, I appreciate it.

[@NickTrelford]

Hey man the previous owner had the CarPlay installation done at a shop, I’m not sure what they did specifically but the unit is a Pioneer DMH-1500NEX. I would say the PCD’s are worth it, and I believe they are usually a prerequisite if you ever wanted to boost the car so it’s definitely a point of restriction in the OEM system. Mines not tuned either, but I’ve heard tunes really improve all aspects of the car and have been told they are well worth it, so I’ll definitely be tuning this one soon!

What how does your car rev so high after shifting to 2nd gear? I have a 2005 TL. When I shift from high rpm 1st gear to 2nd gear, the rpm doesn’t stay at that high rpm. Is it because your wheels are slipping?
