B pipe non type S
On this site the store appears to have non type s b-pipe by comptech. But the comptechusa.com site does not.
So i called comptechusa.com and the guy said they do not make a b-pipe for the non type-s
I have the comptech mufflers. So whats the deal can i get the comptech b-pipe
2003 tl-p
thanks

You sure? I did my research on this a while back and I believe thte type-S is 0.25 inches wider. Also...when ordering parts...they have different part #s. If THIS WAS TRUE...then I would of traded my modified y-pipe with a stock TLP months ago.

Although the B-pipe from a type-S will fit on a TLP (and vice versa)...the pipe is definitely NOT THE SAME.
Item #12 is what we are looking at.
On a TL-S...it is part # 12897
On a TL-P...it is part # 12898
These are the exact same part #s for the 2002 and 2003 models.

they are not the same but will fit. the type_s has slightly larger piping, but all the same bends and flanges

The details about the stock exhaust diameter aren't revelant. All he wanted to know is if it would fit. :P

It became "relevant" once you claimed this...

Didn't realize you were going to nit-pick all through my posts. There is no difference in the way the stock b-pipe on either model bolts up. Thus the Comptech B-pipe will fit both models.

I was considering changing my TL-P B-pipe for the Type-S B-pipe If..... the diameter piping was larger, in order to yield "some" gains, and a slightly deeper exhaust tone. Myabe even the Comptech B-pipe, if the exhaust note is not too deep.
After talking with Comptech and my locar Acura dealership, I was advise that it was not possible. So based on what I read, y ou guys believe this is possible? direct bolt on? no modifications in order for it to fit?
Let me know your thoughts on both, CT and Type-S B-pipe, appreciate your feedback.

www.autocarparts.com sells the Comptech B-pipe and lists it under both the 3.2 (premium) and the Type-S.
Remember, the b-pipe was designed for those using the supercharger. The gains it provides on a N/A car are minimal (~ 3 whp). The only reason for upgrading to the Comptech unit on a N/A car would be to get the absolute most power from your engine or if you wanted to upgrade to all stainless steel exhaust.
You didn't buy the Type-S in the 1st place, trying to play catch up by adding the B-pipe seems pretty pointless to me. Buy headers first.

Now now...your attitude is starting to stink.
All we're saying is get your facts straight and stay on topic.

Well tried to install it. IT DOESNT FIT The holes on the flange that attaches to the cat are farther apart. I tried it every which way it is not a match. period. so the store on this site needs to be corrected but I think that AUTOCARPARTS.com, which is the store on this site, might fix it on their end.
