Not sure what you mean. Physical characteristics such as pipe diameters, connection interfaces, etc, or flow characteristics, or sound deadening or what? There are some rudimentary numbers in the service manual, but I think they are more like fastener information...10mm bolt, etc.

Do you have a sound clip of the Borla on your RL? I don't recall it.

Me, too. Was/is a great car. At least you've got an S2000 to flog, though, chin up!


Hey Blazing, don't forget to post a sound clip when you get your Magnaflows.

Unfortunately no Bob, I personally like it. It has deep sound.

Yeah S2000 is just ok I don't know what I was thinking that time. LOL
The forum is boring and people just not nice unlike the ACURAZINE

Dealer treatment really bad, no loaner if the car in service.

I'm goin to sell the S2K soon and get another RL or should I wait for the 3rd gen?

BTW, How's the CTS-V treating you?

Bummer. Would have liked to compare.

It's a weekend fun car, and if you change out for bigger wheels, it makes a decent cruiser. It's not a good daily driver IMHO. Thus, the CTS-V...fun daily driver.

Wish I had an answer for the first one. I'm not sure even Acura knows when the 3G RL is going to be released. Stay tuned for the early 2010 auto shows....

And the CTS-V has given me 7700 trouble-free miles so far. I still wish Acura had something similar.

lol

thems sounds like fighting words.

he didnt remove the resonators did he? maybe its just the inside diameter thats too big. That usually makes exhaust loud and tinny, instead of deep and throaty.
