Someone stole my two factory exhaust tips off of my car and now I have to go buy some new ones. I was wondering if anyone knows if the 2004 TSX ones will fit onto my 1999 3.2 TL. I believe the 2004 TSX and new accord V6 share the same tips.

Any Ideas? New factory tips from the dealer are roughly $37 a pop.

Thanks!

Why not just get 3A's or pilots ?

 

yes, Just get 3A or Pilot Exhaust tips
runs 20-30 dollars per, try pepboys or autozone, looks better then the dinky stock

 

HZM82

Does your white TL have 3A or Pilot tips in the picture?

 

I found a pair of factory exhaust tips from a 2002 TL type-s for $15. This sounds like a pretty good deal even though they are used. Would you suggest I buy these or will the new ones look much better?

Thanks for the help.

Steve

 

Those are 3A tips. Pilots doesn't look bad either. Do you have a body kit on your car?

 

If you don't have a body kit, the tip sticks out about an inch, if you do have a kit, it flushes perfectly. This is what it looks like without kit.

 

I like those 3A tips. They jmake the car look faster!!! May be I will hold off and try to find a pair of those at my local auto store.

HZM82 what year is your car? And is that the Taffeta White or the White diamond pearl? I have Taffeta White and was thinking about doing the newer tail lights in the back, but I wasn't sure how it would look on the Taffeta White.

Thanks for your help.

99 Taffeta White

Just incase you were wondering, I had the OEM tails till a truck backed up into it.

The ones in the pictures are the aftermarket tails.

No serious difference except for a frosted lens in OEM (to somewhat mask the Amber turn sig. better) I'm had both and you can't go wrong with either choices.

 

hey tambo916:

ive got a pair of the 3A Racing Tips 3.5x9 Slanted. Its what everyone uses on their TL's. ill sell them for $35 shipped. no scratches or dents, jus need to clean the "soot" off the insides. let me kno

 

help me to clear things up...

2003 TL-S stock tip has 1 bolt
I see that a lot of 3A and Pilot tips have 2 bolts. Can I still install them onto stock muffler w/o adjustments?

wat size exhaust tip do I get for 2003 TL-S?

 

my 3As have 3 bolts. once you have the stock tip taken off (can be a bltch) the 3As will slide right on easily.

i assume '03 is same as my '02 so it'd be 3.5"x9" i think...bought em off this site, but not anymore...wonder why...

 

Does anybody know if the exhaust tips on the 2004 Accord Coupe will fit on a TL-S? I think those are real cool and want to switch them with my TL-S.

 

dee diddy

do I make extra holes on the exhast for the other two bolts(3A tips)?

 

The bolts do NOT screw into the exhaust, the bolts just tighten against the exhaust.

 

Can you do the taillight coversion on your own (I'm a real amateur with mechanics), with what tools, and do you need to buy extras, like a harness, if you do the aftermarkets?

Thanks

If you buy aftermarket, you don't need a wiring harness, if you get OEM 02+ TL, you need a wiring harness because the turn sig socket uses a different bulb. Or you can just tape it in the socket.

You just peel back the trunk lining (look in your manual for how to change a tail light bulb) and uses a socket 8MM socket wrench to remove 6-8(?) nuts and then pull the tails stright out. This conversion is a no brainer.

 

correct! u just screw the 3 bolts that come with each tip until they hold tight against the exhaust. i wouldn't put on aftermarket tips at all if i had to make holes in my exhaust. so no worries bout that.

 

Get them at Auto Zone, I just bought them last week, they were 20 bux. The slanted cut. I think the part number was 62-2407 if Im not mistaken. 3A Racing of course!

 

Don't get the ones for TSX/ 04 Accord! I've seen lots of 'em with rust on the inner lip. They probably are just chromed and not SS. Looks ugly. I picked up a pair of 3" "vibrant" ovals. They're nice and looks a lot like the Benz tips and they're screw-on. I painted the inner half with BBQ paint to match the black muffler.

04 TSX/03 Accord (04' Accord isn't out yet) uses the same material as the stock TL tips. These cars are also new, where the hell do you go that you see them rusting?
