fitment on the cu2 is not yet confirmed, but looks like it should be fine.

if youre still looking into it, xlr8, price is gonna be a huge factor here, at 250 i think it pretty steep and crosses the line into "probably dont want it anymore".
if you can still hit around 150 thats where all the magic will happen

He has not even given a price. That talk hasn't even occurred. He can't even find one of you guys to help get the product out there so he can post a price. Once the product is available you can bet he'll post a competitive price. Any company know that if they want to sell any product they need to be at or under the competitions pricing.

Damn, if it were closer to New England i'd drive this weekend, just to see the results. Not sure if it would even pass inspection here in MASS, since we follow CA inspection/emissions laws.
Guess i'll have to wait for it to come to market, if it does.

I would like to sincerely apologize to Parasurfer, Josh, and my fellow CU2 TSXers who were looking forward for a downpipe. I will again say that I though my sarcasm was really clear with the red text, and me using the term sarcasm in one of my post. I understand that Parasurfer has put a lot of effort to get this project up in the air and me joking around was an insult to all of his hard work. I was mistaken and therefore understand my unforgivable mistake. I will avoid the same type of mistakes in my future posts.
And lastly Parasurfer, I just want to clarify that I don't drive in the rain when I dont have to, because I want to avoid unideal conditions where I have less control over my surroundings. This according to you makes me a terrible driver. That's your opinion, I am perfectly fine with that.
I won't have the privileged to enjoy the downpipe, because I plan on keeping my car forever and it wont pass California's strict smog test in the future. Good luck with the development of the downpipe.

I'm in CO..... Depending on how long the testing process takes I can start driving tonight and be there in a few hours. I can stay until Monday at the latest. I have a 0700 formation Tuesday morning
#212
MSG josh, or parasurfer, and see if you guys can work something out : )
a downpipe for you and some options for the rest of us are in the works!

Hey bro, I just PM'd parasurfer....... I'll be standing by for a response. If anyone has his number or something they should give him a call. The longer we wait, the more time that is wasted and I think that drive will take me 8 hours.... Give or take roughly 45 minutes.
#214

It sure does. I'm happy for the TSX crowd.
#218
I'm still very interested and have the money ready NOW for this to happen. I did some checking and on a 2009 honda accord ex 4dr 5spd and 2011 TSX base 6spd(what I have now) share all the same part numbers for the gasket from 1st cat to down pipe, down pipe, converter and converter to exhaust pipe. Now that being said I don't know what type of vehilce was used for the testing for the Accord pipe be it 2008 09 10 11 ex dx lx 2/4dr etc... I'm too lazy to check every freaking year and trim level but from the looks of things it should bolt right up. So who wants to send me one??? PM me!!!

Josh told me it has to be done during week days. Let him know if or when you could do that...

Yeah I looked up part numbers too 18210-TA0-A02 seems to be the same part number for both. Its nice to have options but in case this doesnt ever happen we have the throwdown option.

This will still happen. I'm glad you found the other option to buy. All others supporting XLR8 don't drop out. Once a member can get to Phoenix. It'll happen.

If there is anyone getting the other downpipe and is willing to ship their stock dp to XLR8 so he can make his DP, he'll give you a deal on a part you may want off the site for your TSX. If there is anyone willing to drive to Pheonix or in the area willing to let them use your car for testin during the week then you will get a free Down Pipe which will be free 10+hp thats C.A.R.B. legal . Thanks guys. The XLR8 DP will still be done and will be better than the other pipe now offered so it'll be worth the wait. Thanks guys.

p2r downpipe to excelerate? thats an interesting business strategy!
#232
i was confused, earlier i thought a p2r one was needed, i think 09acuraTSX can help out with this one

He's planning on it. It would be nice to have a car to dyno tune to post real numbers of the DP after it's done or come down to use your down pipe and you leave with a free quaality DP and 10+hp.
#234
if josh can dyno in the CT location i can help with installing and test fitting, im just too far obviously from AZ to help with fabrication

Again he can not. hes doing the work himself at the AZ office. Thanks though. He's got a stock TSX DP getting mailed to him. He'll need someone to install the part once hes done to dyno their stock car to get the gains. I'll keep you guys posted when that time comes.
#236
sorry, didnt know he was in AZ. Just a quick thought though, once the DP is made, wont he have equally as much trouble finding someone to install the part locally since we had trouble getting someone to AZ in the first place?
maybe he can ship out the DP for fitting once its done

Tell josh that when you guys come to that point that i'd be willing to Dyno before and after. my tsx is pretty close to stock so youll get an idea of what you are gaining B)

Okay he looks at this thread periodically. The stock DP should be shipping to Joshua soon so an XLR8 DP will be soon in the making. Thanks everyone for your support. I dont even own a TSX or work for XLR8 but i felt my old car 08 Accord would have benefited from this part so i posted there first then decided to post here and the support for such a part is great. Patience will win. .
