Just need some available mods for my car. I know DC Sports has an intake. If you guys have any input onn what I should get please let me know, thanks!

Thanks thunderbt3!

Yea downpipe and cat delete / high flow cats should make a difference. Intakes don't do much for our car.

Thank you iCrap! Does the P2R spacer work well?

I wouldn't get it honestly. I got it on sale for $20 so I said why not. It doesn't do anything noticeable.

research the 3g tl mods. its basically the type-s engine.

intake is a great mod, for the sound and fuel economy.

with just a takeda short ram intake, i went to 33mpg one time (slow, but steady highway traffic from dc to ny)

then all the 8th gen accord parts from rv6 performance work. the j-pipe works, just need to trim some metal bracket on the engine. unbolt the black bracket, cut off the extra metal, paint the bare metal, put the bracket back on.

then if you got the cash to burn, custom 3" exhaust from the rv6 j-pipe.

once you have the exhaust, the p2r manifold spacer (the one in between the engine and intake manifold) will smooth out the torque curve; and the dynos show it raises the lower rpm torque.

you can get a larger tb, and bolt on the 3.7l intake manifold, so it breathes even easier.

just remember the ecu cannot be tuned... you are limited in what you can do.

do not get the p2r thermal insulators, i've seen pictures where they deform in shape (ie. melt)

I am attempting to find out how much modification it will take to make the xlr8 dual or quad exhaust fit.

bpr0422 Great info man slowly but surely I will do these mods. I'll start with the basic mods first of course. It's a shame DC Sports never went through production with the exhaust for our cars :-(

p.s. throttle body spacers are a waste of money.

any air tuning is done in the intake manifold and not before it.

and finally, some one who finally agrees that anything we've done on the TL side, you guise can do too.

Yeah, there is no info on this car, but since its just a 3g tl type-s engine (same displacement/compression) all the 3g bolt-on mods have been done.

I have done the takeda intake, hfpc + j-pipe, and 3" exhaust

Intake, sounded so much better - and economy did go up.

hfpc + j-pipe, more sound - high-rpm is amazing; definite torque/hp increase..

on my way home from work, i have a small straight hill section of road. normally when I drive through this section in 5th gear, i maintain constant speed at around 2500rpm; with the hfpc + j-pipe, i was still accelerating (slowly), so the torque did increase in this area of the power band.

3" exhaust... what a difference; its a lot easier to activate traction control.

you have to choose the right mufflers and resonators. I have a vibrant ultra quiet resonator, and matching 12" vibrant bottle resonator; mufflers are 2 p2r quiet power (ebay).

the p2rs are quiet for the most part, but really bad drone at lower 1200-1700 rpm (especially at lower highway speeds: 25-40 mph); 1800-2000 rpm no drone, there is a quiet buzz, but the sound system masks it (great for cruising at ~70mph).

the drone is probably due to the construction of ht p2r mufflers, just a straight perforated pipe with dense sound deadening. the sound deadening can only help dissipate the energy.

thinking of changing them to apex'i ws2; since the ws2 have a Helmholtz resonator inside, which stores the energy when the exhaust pressure increases and then releases it back into the system when the pressure decreases... this (in-theory) cancels out the low frequency sound wave, ie drone, at lower rpms.

Was the custom exhausted expensive?

I found that V6 accord intakes work as well. I ended up just dropping in a K&N replacement into my V6 TSX. That is the extent of my mods..ha Kind of glad I kept it stock though, my job just changed and now I am getting a company car...time to sell the best car I have ever owned. A truly sad day!

musty hustla

What company car are you getting?

aerospike

Is there a video of this setup online?

does anyone have any new info on mods?
or any new suggestions
