someone did put the TL-S supercharger on an RL... he posted pics, but there was very little follow up in terms of how it actually ran, actual power, etc.... but it can be done!
my gut tells me that the price to get the kit and install it would make it not worth the hassle... the end result certainly would be a sweet RL. if Acura had just put an extra 50 hp in the car it would be such a better vehicle... it's quick.. but just needs a bit extra ooommphhh... !

I'll probably end up with that and a custom exhaust. I put on my 4" intake and the top end is so much better now than it was

I'm actually trying to sell the car, I may get off my butt and just part it out.
Oh, here's a quick vid of the exhaust (and I mean quick, lol): http://s26.photobucket.com/user/02Si...O0005.mp4.html

I don't drive the car much at all. I have two kids, with another on the way and we just drive our Highlander. I won't be selling any parts or my car on here though. This forum blows, lol. I put my car up for sale, after trying to read through this horribly made rule topic they had on selling cars. I had pics, my VIN, carfax, location, etc...they locked it...wtf!?
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
hahahahaha, did you know the rules protect the innocent.

lol...okay, the for sale part of the forum blows, lol...I spoke out of context.
Yeah, I just don't drive it enough. If I end up getting another car, I have no idea what...I'm thinking I'll just get something good on gas. I like those new accords, then again, I like the Golf R, lol...who knows. I'll take it easy for a while since I have no need for another car.
I would love to sell the parts. I just need to get around to taking them off. I'll have to venture elsewhere, perhaps honda-tech to sell the parts. I have never seen a forum so horribly setup as this one...I've been on forums since 1998, lol...this is by far the worst. No ability to edit after a set amount of time and a mod locks my forsale post for two small issues (which I'm sure they thought there was more, but didn't look at the full post).

Here's what the car for sale rules say...I'm good on all of them, except for two small things...definitely apparent some mod has some serious time on his/her hands and a horrible case of OCD. Whoever came up with this list...took it a bit too far.
1. Price: Got it
2. Mileage: Mentioned it
3. Color, Transmission-auto or manual, Navi: Duh, it's an auto, you can see the color..seriously
4. Reason for selling: I stated it
5. Location: It was there
6. Pictures: Got em
7. Are you the first owner? The carfax shows this
8a. Title is clean/clear/rebuilt/salvage/if other, See the freaking carfax
8b. Do you have title in hand or it is being held by a lienholder: Seriously...this can be taken care of between the seller and buyer...okay, I missed this one...but who goes through the list and actually looks for minuscule items.
9. VIN.----- IT IS THERE!!!
10. Modifications: Said what was done.
11. Service record: CARFAAAAAXXXXXXX
12. If leased, provide details, such as length of lease, payoff amount, etc. Come on..this is restating 8b...who came up with this!?

Yes RonA is on top of things for the Black Market. It has saved a couple people from getting scammed though.
PM me how much you want for the suspension and wheels

I have found that is not the official rule list. I could not find the official rule list until I posted a car for sale and was warned. The thread was never locked, but it wasn't obvious what I was supposed to do before I did it. Sorry to hear you're selling. Congrats on the kid.

Modded 2009 RL Exhaust tips
What do you folks think of these new tips? From Red Tail Performance RTP-035LR double wall and staggered, dual 3" stainless steel tips. They had to weld on a ring first to boost the 2" pipe to 2.25". Yes they stick out farther than OEM tips, but there isn't a lot of room to go shorter and this shows off the tips better. Had the local Meineke cut off the original tips, still in OK shape, and weld these on. Never cared for the style Acura used. Other makes have the same kind of phony stretch tips. Maximas have the quad pipes. This is the easy solution. Same muffler, so no louder, just cosmetic.
