^ very true, have twigglis measure how far away the tip is from the bumper opening on his, then measure the one for a comptech then bolt a comptech up to a type s, but I think he is more concerned with getting it dyno'd

I'm asuming it will be 4-6 weeks but I need to find a test fitter in the Phoenix, AZ area.

I would be interested in the quad tip setup for the TL-S. But I have a base TL. I guess if I opt to do that I would need to replace my A-spec rear lip for the TLS rear lip to fit the quad tips.
Is the price going to be the same for the quad tips?
Another question is how much would it be to have it shipped to Vancouver Canada?
Thanks!!!

I'm not worried one bit to have them get in my car. This has been a great exhaust system for the 5 days I have driven with it.
Yes I will take some side pics for you.

Either way would be nice though. :-)

Except dual tips for both sides.

Great job. It looks nice and sounds incredible. I agree with CrazyNurse though, I'd love to see square exhaust tips. I got the Ronjon kit and love the way the stock tips look with the kit.

Hmmm by the looks of the side pictures I bet you can get a good welder to saw off the tips of the old exhaust and weld them on to this. I think that's what I'll do, except I'll have to adjust the tips.

I had mentioned to Excelerate to keep the slanted tip look for the type-s but to give it the BBE flare to it. I think the slanted dual tip look makes the exhausts look larger since the tips are cut at angles. Also I think a rolled chrome finish would make these mufflers stand out from any setup I've ever seen. I'm excited to see what they come up with.

We are actually looking for 2 more test subjects. Our base test subject was an 06 Acura TL A/T with an AEM CAI, provided by twigglius. Thanks Chris. He has been able to enjoy the system for a few days now. He can comment on it as well. We are looking for two more test fitters in the Phoenix, AZ area; one 04-08 TL 6 Spd so we can see the gains with a 6 spd (we estimate another 3-4whp) and a 07-08 TL-S so we can check test fitment on the TL-S, hp gains, and we want to offer quad tips on the TL-S setup 
Here's a video of the dyno and the car pulling away at WOT:
http://s34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...cura-final.flv
I will post up the dyno once they give it to me in a format I can post. All I have is bad fax copy right now.
These should be ready to ship in about 3-4 weeks. I still have to dyno test and get a video clip of the non-resonated setup on a 6 spd. We will also be making a J-pipe shortly too and a quad tip setup for the TL-S.
The price on this exhaust will be $975 shipped to the lower cont US on the resonated setup (list is $1100) for the AZ members and $950 shipped to the lower cont US on the non-resonated setup (list is $1075). You may send payment to excelerate@sbcglobal.net via Paypal and please specify what you're ordering and for what car.

I just realized that you can't see any of the exhaust piping from the rear of the car - with the GReddy, you see everything, which some people like, but I don't particularly care for it, especially since the piping starts looking kinda nasty once the weather gets to it over time. This seems like a much better job in that respect....

I don't know, call me crazy but... it's not my cup of tea. I like the finish of it, but I'm not to into the tips and I love the way my greddy pipping looks in between the cans. Sooo aggressive, this one is very clean though and I'd love to hear it but it's waaaay to laid back for my taste.

And then there will be 2 systems for the TL-S with quad tips: resonated or non-resonated.
