I just replaced the front three spark plugs on my TL-S. They look great, even after 101,000 miles. I just have to figure out a time and place to get the back three out! On my Accord it was easy, but in the TL-S, there's a big ass bar in the way!

The big ass bar doesn't take long to remove though.
I even had it after a night out drinking at a club. I am hungry for anything after drinks. But not even that pleased my taste buds.
Strange! This is the perfect time for poutine too!
Can't please everyone I imagine. Although there's a lot of places that offer poutine only to offer poutine but not that many places that are worth the detour.
Chad...keep it simple, man...get the base ATLP...I actually ended up loving how the tips look and how they sound. I wasn't totally against getting type s aspec and cutting the rear bumper to fit the quads but what I WAS against was losing the oddly shaped exhaust cutout and tips. That was what I fell in love with first on the car...
I've heard Austin's in person and it sounds great. I had made a comparative video once...let me find it.

The base tips? I like how they look TBH, quad tips are so common.
I like the shape but the ATLP is a little too... I don't know....large? The height of the tip is what I don't like. If it was half an inch shorter...
I'd probably be more inclined to get the single round tipped XLR8. I have a feeling the ATLP sounds better though.
But the sound of the true duals...
Edit: Wait, I thought the RV6 sold for like $1800/$2000? $500 deposit + the difference. I'm on Heeltoe and see it listed for $1500. Is that correct? I thought $1400 was a crazy good deal. Maybe he would take less.

The base ATLP tips, I'm saying. Most aftermarket exhausts only catered to type S bumper openings which are bigger...
My RV6 is a batch of the original 9 that were made that I picked up used. It had 4 tiny exhaust tips. People made fun of my tiny peenuses (Canada pronounces Pneus).
Now people just make fun of my actual tiny peenus.
Well, if you'd be settling for either of those other ones, or have to work them to make them fit the way you like, I can assure you the RV6 is the way to go. Maybe you'll even come up with a way to make it work in the base bumper?
With the high flow cats, no cat on the jpipe...it's the only one I've heard that doesn't rasp at all and nearly zero audible drone at 85 on the highway.

You guys drive so fast. 75mph here you get a ticket for sure.
Canadiens doing what canadiens do best, spreading false info. FUcking PB or TB or whoever the fuck got me scared of my SS lines.
canadiens....smh
Sure.
Actually, as I lay in bed last night obviously not sleeping, I had one of those bolt upright, aha moments.
The TL;DR is that I think :TB: had a damaged line. I think SS are as good/better than rubber lines. Basic construction is similar, just the outer jacket material is different. But I'm limited in my data set and am open to anyones alternate opinion except RCB because he rubs me the wrong way.
...TFL;NGR below...
Either like :pb: said, they were really MIC junk lines (but :TB: said they were big name, so???) and that's why they failed. Or I'd actually lay it out there and say there was a problem with his lines that was bigger than them being SS overbraid and here's why (gods, I hope that RCB knucklehead doesn't read this. Or maybe I do. IDGAF):
Both the OEM style rubber hoses and the aftermarket SS braid overwrapped lines have the same teflon (or similar non-reactive, flexible, non-metal) inner liner that actually contains the brake fluid. The SS ones add a braided overwrap to reinforce the inner tubing and prevent it from failing under pressure. The rubber hoses are actually a rubber and fiber thread reinforced composite overwrap that does the same function.
However, the difference between the two is that the SS is less compliant so it's not going to expand (very much; atomically it is moving, yes) where as the rubber overwrap will give a bit more. Both attach the end fittings in a similar manner so all things being equal, they should work just the same.
In the end, the way they fail is the fitting separating from the hose because of a poor initial fitup, or they split because of damage. Now this is where SS is a little bit less tolerant than the rubber. If you kink the SS threads, they'll break and without that reinforcement the inner liner will blow out under pressure. Rubber overwrap is a little more forgiving, but it is susceptible to dry rot over a really long time.
Again, anecdotaly, I can say that I've seen bulged rubber hoses that were needing to be replaced and I've never seen a SS line fail that was assembled and installed correctly (seen plenty fail that were built by a moran).

CU...have you ever pumped up a bike inner tube and the tire wasn't seated properly? The tube will protrude and it'll stretch it to the point of popping and scaring the hell out of you.
I bet the motul alone would have done that. SS is more for pedal feel, no?
SS is entirely a pedal feel thing. You could say they also could technically protect better from road debris & laceration... but I ain't gonna go Mad Max with a TL anyway.

morning whores... It's almost the weekend!!!!!
