Wassup everyone, I'm new to this website and I have a 1999 Acura TL for a few years now and now I am deciding to modify it. I wanted to start with the AeM CAI, but there isnt one for 99's.. Why is that? What can i do. please let me know. Thanks!

 

I bought one on Ebay last week and it listed 1999 TL I Believe that they are the same as the 00-03 as long as it's not a type S. But I am not 100%, there seems to be a lot of smart Acura peope on here that could tell you forsure.

 

comptech icebox, check out autocartparts.com or black market in the off topic section and there is a group buy for them 260 shipped, 10hp gain.

 

CAI for 00-03 TL-Ps will fit the 99s no problem. Go with the AEM, it has a nice growl with noticeable gains.

 

go with the AEM V2 or Icebox for the best gains

 

Hey, Thanks for the information Guys... Its very helpful, i also have another question, Where could i get the Chomre Shift Plate and How much does it run? Thanks!

 

Do a Search.

 

be nice to the noob , The 99's is really chrome underneath but Acura painted over it.

 

Now he's going to ask how to get the paint off.

 

And had you just posted how, it'd make all our lives eaiser.

Welcome DenverTL.

As for getting the paint off the shift plate to expose that gorgeous chrome, soak it in paint remover for a few minutes or spray it with graphiti remover and wipe off the old paint.

 

If noobs would search before asking, it'd make all our lives easier.

 

and if your going to waste the time to post "do a search" you might as well help out by typing something helpfull???? also if it wernt for the newbs, we wouldnt have any thing to answer, every thing has been covered already

welcome to the forum. all years TL (99-03) CAI's fit as long as its not for the TL-S.
as for teh shifter in chrome, do what nsxnext stated

 

Perhaps it's because I deal with teenagers, many of whom (not all, but many), are too lazy to do things for themselves and are always looking for others to do their work for them.

 

wheres teh love?? cant hep a fellow TLer out??????????????????

 

Ok, Ok.

1. Go to Home Depot and buy some spray Graffitti Remover.
2. Remove trim plate around shift plate.
3. Remove the shift plate.
4. Spray with remover.
5. Leave on for 30 - 45 seconds.
6. Wash off.
7. Repeat as needed to remove all paint.

Only works on '99 TLs.

 

Great instructions! will this work on my 2000???

 

Too funny!

 

 

hey guys.. thanks for your help!!!! I didnt even know about the shift plate. I don't plan on doing anything major to my TL because the Tranny Sucks... "IVE READ THE OTHER TRANNY POSTINGS". All i've done so far is order my 19" RH C2's and tint my windows... so not much.. I just don't know what to do next, because I think my tranny will give soon.. but thanks for your help!!!

 

The last part of this thread = LOL. Youre generosity with the information is appreciated. This noob has read alot of posts over the last year or so (shy to post), but I actually like hearing it over and over again. You guys make it interesting, and because i know you will make fun of me - I always try to search out my questions. thankx to all of you.
LOVE MY TL : ( worry about my tranny thou - can't get it off my mind!)
