Any more info about the product? I searched it up on your website and did not find anything.

sillyjav

Pricing info?

Nice! Do you know what kind of hp/lbs numbers the J pipe alone adds? And what numbers the Jpipe + cat back together add?

i don't see HFPC or PCD's on the website and can't tell if they were replaced on the TLX in the video so is this just J pipe and cat back?

Thanks!

ExcelerateRep

We're still working to populate our website, but we should have all the details up early next week such as piping diameters and tip sizes.

We can't post pricing here since it's not a sales thread, but you can get more information and pricing by visiting our web-store.

XLR8 Exhaust Systems - Excelerate - HOA - Japanese Performance Specialist

We don't have any dyno numbers (yet!) but we're hoping to have some in the near future. We expect the horsepower gains to be similar to the 3G/4G TL at about 20hp and 25+tq.

We do not have HFPC's or PCD's at this time. Right now it is just our Jpipe with 3rd cat delete and catback exhaust. Tampering with the precats usually means a CEL, noxious fumes, and more rasp, so we don't recommend swapping those out.

Here is a link to more info on our Jpipe as well:

Sounds awesome! I thought the FWD V6 ones were gonna release first though =/, any idea when that will release?

ExcelerateRep

We are actually looking for a volunteer in the Phoenix, AZ area to drop off their FWD TLX at our facility for a few days for test fitting. The volunteer would get free jpipe and exhaust! Once this happens, we'll have a FWD system available for purchase.

^^ Maybe I should take my car into Acura for service and ask for a loaner. Hopefully they will give me a FWD TLX for a loaner.

sinistah89

I think someone should in the westcoast should do this for the FWD one man, what there offering is good. (and plus I want this exhaust lol)

pnoi521

if only their shop was closer to Nor Cal I'd be down to take one for the team haha

Even if you use HFPC's such as from RV6? My TLX is my daily driver and I commute 40 miles each way, every day. I want the extra power & torque(more so the torque) but I'm not sure if I'm going to like the loud exhaust with commuting 2 hours per day. What do you think about RV6's HFPC's with your J-Pipe and the rest stock(mufflers, etc.)?

ExcelerateRep

We haven't experienced this exact setup on a TLX yet, but I'd venture to say you will have some added drone compared to stock. One person's loud is another person's quiet, so I can't say if you're going to love it or hate it. You would pick up some power by switching to HFPC's and doing the full exhaust, that's for sure!

Unkn0VV17

Should I chime in on what I think about the exhaust or you still want me to hold off?

Sure please share with the community. Thank you.

reddogTL

The horsepower gain's you're referring to 20hp/25+tq is that JUST with the J-Pipe or with both J-Pipe + Your Catback system combined?

Also, does your J-Pipe require any cat delete's or is it direct bolt on with stock system? I know you said this particular car has J-Pipe with 3rd cat delete & cat back but didnt know if the cat delete is required for J-Pipe or was done due to the Cat back.

Did you happen to make any video's with just the J-Pipe and not cat back system?

Thanks!

ExcelerateRep

Those horsepower gains were with our V2 Jpipe and the AEM V2 intake on a otherwise stock TL-S. Our Jpipe for the TLX deletes the third cat, so it is required to delete the third cat in order to run the Jpipe. Unfortunately we don't have any video footage of just the Jpipe at this time.

Unkn0VV17

Sorry on the delay with my review of the Jpipe and catback. There are two different tip options you can choose from. One option is with the tip slightly poking out underneath the bumper, and the other is the stealth option; like stock. As much I would like the exhaust tips to show without any modifications, your best option is to get the one that slightly shows the tip. The down side with that option, it might not clear if you have an underbody kit. If you have the underbody kit or decide to get one later, get the stealth option. I went with the stealth option, because I'm getting an underbody kit. FYI: In the video it's showing the stealth option and the pictures are showing the tip slightly showing.

I'm sure everyone is wondering how it sounds. It doesn't sound stock anymore! The exhaust gives the car a nice growl. At start up the car sounds really mean (especially cold start). When you're driving around town the throaty tone is subtle and not over powering. Unless you have a lead foot the exhaust will be screaming. I have to admit at WOT its a little on the louder side, but that's with any type of exhaust at WOT. Overall, it is a solid system from the Jpipe to the catback.

I'm trying to get a video and some photos up, but it is too hot out in the Arizona heat.

reddogTL

Thank you for that quick review. I'm definitely interested in seeing your videos. I'd like to see one from inside the cabin as well to hear how it sounds idling, cruising around, and some hard throttle/WOT runs. You don't have a CAI correct?

Also how does the acceleration feel vs stock? According to ExcelerateTom the Jpipe + Catback is 25-30hp / 30-35lbs gain.

My last question may be better answered by ExcelerateTom. I saw the quick part of the video taking out the old exhaust and putting the new one on. Was there any weight savings from Jpipe 3rd cat delete and cat back vs stock? Just wondering if both systems were weighed for comparison.

Thanks!

ExcelerateRep

Unfortunately we did not record the weight differences between the oem exhaust components and our XLR8 stainless steel exhaust components, so I don't have an answer for you.

Unkn0VV17

I'll try to get a video and pictures as soon as I can. I've been busy with work and the three digit weather is not helping. lol I did not have the car long enough with the stock set up before the XLR8 upgrade I think I had the car stock for a couple weeks and I drove it probably 3 times stock. So, I honestly can not answer that question without giving you guys a false answer. Guess I'm going to have to get a loner car and compare the two.

Mr. ShawnJ007

How much does it increase the noise in the cabin, and does the ANC do a good job at keeping things dampened?

Unkn0VV17

The noise in the cabin is pretty noticeable. If you like a car in a more quiet side, aftermarket exhaust is probably not for you. Yes, sometimes I wish this exhaust is a little more quiet, but I listen to music on the louder side so it drowns it out. I noticed that you know when the VCM kicks in with the exhaust. The exhaust note changes to a lower rumble...its hard to describe. Basically you know when 3 cylinders kicks in and once you accelerate that note changes back to normal. Only happens on Eco, Normal, and Sport mode. Sport+ is just one solid note throughout because VCM is off.

I sent an email your way regarding my 2015 FWD TLX V6 Test Vehicle. I wasn't prepared last year; but now that I have a second vehicle, I can easily send my car your way in AZ. I'm ready if you still are

Thanks!

ExcelerateRep

Thank you for the email! We will respond shortly!

Might want to turn up the speakers up.

This is what the car sounds like inside the cabin. Video is a little long, but also an idea what it sounds like inside with regular driving. I'll try to get more videos as soon as I can.

sounds good...btw....link is a little messed up. Copy link, paste, edit

ExcelerateRep

Sounds awesome! Definitely get some out of car video when you can!

Unkn0VV17

Hopefully this one will work.

Unkn0VV17

I did one from the outside, but it didn't turn out that great. I have to redo the video again.

Unkn0VV17

Ok, I did a video with a camera mounted outside the car. Having trouble getting the right angle of the camera, so I just faced it down. Sound quality isn't the best because the case muffles the sounds so much and my license plate frame clunking doesn't help either. Sound on the camera doesn't justify the sound in person. The video is kind of long...8 mins and some odd seconds. I was on Sport+ mode using the flappy paddles. Turn up the volume, but some parts of the video are a bit loud... Enjoy!

You guys want more videos like this?

Any suggestions on the sound quality?

reddogTL

Thank you for the in cabin video. After listening to mid-throttle to WOT I'm not a fan of how loud it is. So i'm thinking of just sticking with the J-Pipe whenever I pull the trigger. I wish there was a video of someone with just the J-Pipe with everything else stock.
I've been so busy lately that I finally got my car tinted yesterday and I've had it for 11 months now lol

Unkn0VV17

It won't get any louder with just the J-Pipe. You're still running the stock exhaust which dampens the sound.

dbubis
