Excellent video. Very instructive like always bro 💪🏼😎

Thank you 🙌

YOu gained about 5 to 10 Decibals and its sounds way way better. Not bad not too much pollution as far as noise and sound much better.

[@BCautosolutions]

For sure.

[@djsthemetereman]

I already have this exact set up but my heeltoe secondary pipe is the high flow A pipe so it's a high flow cat & the primary is a high flow IMR cat, I also paired it with a function week full cat back valvtronic exhaust & it sounds really good in sport plus mode, now just waiting on K- tuner too realese more units & maps

Nice, thanks for sharing. Do you have any clips of it by any chance?

Hi from Siberia! Like ur videos!

[@BCautosolutions]

Thank you!

[@tacohitler9762]

Absolutely love the stock exhaust, but it does sound more aggressive with that downpipe

[@BCautosolutions]

Definitely!

[@ryanshalley7327]

Great vid, Can’t wait till spring!!!

[@BCautosolutions]

Thanks for watching! Tried to provide as much info as possible.

[@ryanshalley7327]

Yes sir! Also what are your thoughts about the downpipe not using the factory support that bolts to the trans? The next support in the system is the hanger after the secondary pipe. Do you think that too much weight/stress for the turbo flange?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@ryanshalley7327 I think it’ll be fine. The aftermarket unit is much light vs the oem cat/secondary pipe/ secondary cat. Mine has been ok for about 13k miles now. The turbo should have ample supporting brackets imo.

[@Type_SWAY]

Great vid can’t wait for my exhaust to come 😊

[@BCautosolutions]

Thanks, it’s going to sound great!

[@Dingleberry24-m2p]

Do you recommend Catless or Catted? Any power difference or just sound

[@BCautosolutions]

@@Dingleberry24-m2p no power difference. Some sound difference

[@HamoshAbdul]

Is there any difference when u drive the car at low speeds? In the sound and feel of the car from the inside after the installation?

[@BCautosolutions]

Yes absolutely

[@mustafaozkan4217]

In your opinion did the downpipe replacement + ktuner made a significant difference? I have ktuner installed in my type s and debating the downpipes.

[@BCautosolutions]

Yes, for sure!

[@evann6596]

@@BCautosolutions did you throw codes from catless ?

[@BCautosolutions]

@@evann6596 not with the right defouler

[@sports_car_enthusiast]

Could those flexible heat shields be replaced with some header wrap directly on the pipe? The turbo seems to have its own separate heat shields.

[@BCautosolutions]

Header wrap or ceramic coating. I would keep as many shields as possible

[@suba-dude5516]

Something that I truly miss is the sound of the S 😞

[@BCautosolutions]

Yeah it sounds great that’s for sure. Tbh I kind of dig the hollow/raspy sound over the deeper tone with the muffler deletes.

[@robdswingingcrypto6228]

Wish they would’ve went with bigger piping

[@BCautosolutions]

I did too at first but it’s a good thing they didn’t. I’ll go into a video about this In the future…that’s all I can say.

[@jaylee5180]

any cat efficiency check engine lights with catless and no tune?

[@BCautosolutions]

Not if you use the right defouler

[@josephadovasio6525]

I just ordered imr high flow 200 cell catted down pipe with a catted secondary for my 23 type s but I don’t plan on tuning it. Do you think I’ll have any problems in the future? I have less then 1000 miles on the car right now

[@josephadovasio6525]

Catless secondary**

[@BCautosolutions]

Nope, I e been catless for nearly 30k now.

[@myblacksrt0688]

After the install did the customer notice overwhelming exhaust fumes throughout the cabin? Also, did you reuse the altp a pipe gaskets, order new ones, or just disregard?

[@BCautosolutions]

Use all new gaskets where possible. The cat(s) are deleted, there’s going to be a noticeable smell difference.

[@robabe675]

love the videos..I have a 22 tlx type s.. it was stolen a few weeks ago and now I'm looking into installing some more security features..I was able to get it back using the Acura Link app .. I think they might've did relay theft and used the obd port to reprogram a new key.. is there anything you recommend so this won't happen again? can't have nothing nice in ny 😢

[@BCautosolutions]

Sheesh that’s horrible but your not the first one and surely won’t be the last. I would get a wheel boot (keep them from driving it), and a brake pedal stop. With enough motivation they can still take the car but anything that can slow them down is a win in my book. Best of luck and thanks for the support!

[@casawimill]

Grab carlock! My '22 MDX Tech Package was stolen last year and I grabbed the Type S Advance so it won't happen again

[@kongxiong6005]

so its been a few months now...any difference between your custom pipe vs this IMR downpipe?

[@BCautosolutions]

Mine looks better imo but also causes a higher chance of an overboost condition although the new ceramic coat option from imr is great.

[@kongxiong6005]

@@BCautosolutions I'm a little sketch regarding all these new biz making "performance parts." So har the only thing I see worth upgrading is the new HPS intake. They even offer a Dyno sheet with it. You feel like testing that

[@DaGAWD181]

Does this downpipe cause a CEL? Also does the car need a tune so that the DP won’t destroy the engine? Thoughts?

[@BCautosolutions]

Yes it will, still trying to find. Defouler that works. No it won’t destroy the engine. I’ve had one for over a year and 13k miles on my personal car.

great video man ! wanna install this on the wife’s type s over the winter. was wondering are there any CEL cause doing a full downpipe ?

Thanks for watching! Yes so we have been using the vibrant defouler and it’s throwing a cat code. IMR sells a defouler as well but nobody has tried it yet. All trial and error at this point. I will update when I have a solution.

With their defouler yes, although I have sourced one that stops that.
