hey whats up

yo guys. what's up? i'm new here. just decided the other day i wanted to buy an acura tl-s, and i bought one today. sold my honda fit and paid for the tl-s and drove home with it. the car is unbelievable. it took me a few hours to find one in manual, and i made the drive to get it. anyway....

i'm looking to get some parts for it. i want to keep it plain and simple. i'm going to get a progress rear sway for sure. can anyone give me websites that have parts for this car for sale?

it's an 07 tl-s manual, and i just want an intake / header / j pipe, etc etc... pretty much anything that'll make the car faster, but not louder, so no catbacks. can anyone recommend anything?

Excelerate is a vendor on here...and you can get most all of this stuff from him or the J-Pipe and such can be attained from Richie on here....high recommends on both of them. Check the black market sponsored sales section on here...as well as the private sale section as you can find most all what you are looking for right here.

http://www.rv6-performance.com is richies web site for exhaust components.

Excelerate has a web site...but his stuff is easier to order right on here or by calling. I am sure he will tune in here shortly and tell you right how to contact him....he is fairly proactive.

Again...high recommends for both these guys!

thanks. i'm still trying to figure out what'll happen with emissions once i do this. what do you have to do if you got a j pipe, precat delete, and a header?

i sold the fit because i just got tired of it. i tracked it at gingerman raceway, and just decided the investment isn't worth making it more powerful should i mod it. and plus i wasn't too fond of the suspension. oh. and it was FKING SLOW!!! lol.

i figure, i'm going to get a pre-cat delete, header, intake, and a rear sway bar, and call it a day. i don't need an excessive amount of power, but with the fit, i couldn't pass minivans on the highway flooring it in 3-4 gear in the powerband. LOL.

if i got the mods, what would i need to do to the o2 sensors?

no header for our cars bc it is welded to the block...kinda sucks, but there are plenty of good exhaust mods to do

wait. the header is welded to the block? or to the head? hm...
lol. okay. so i was thinking about this..
a pre cat delete kit
j pipe
and third cat delete combo from rv6
(will that mess with emissions?? to my understanding, it comes with stuff to trick the sensors)

a progress rear sway bar
and an aem cold air intake. (will i ever have engine bogging from the cai if it gets too wet out with the cai? or even possibly hydrolock?)

also, i think i want to get the ur pulley, but i won't know how to install it because i'm gay. LOL. nah, but because i suck with belt work.

what state are you in, the cat deletes will not fail inspection if your state simply plugs into the obd2 port, because the ecu thinks the cats are working

but if your state inspection has a nox requirement and they put the vehicle on the dyno, your car will not pass because it has no cats, BUT... you could make yourself a ghetto rigged 3rd cat using a cheap 800 cell cat bolt that up only for inspection purposes

as for the cold air intake and hydrolock... it is extremely hard to hydrolock unless you drive through those puddles which are ankle high

the pulley is fairly simple to install

if you are anywhere near nyc, hit me up

i'm located in IL. they don't use the dyno. just the obd2 port, so i think i should be good =]

as for the cai, that's what i figured. i just didn't know if it's common for our cars.

and about the pulley, i'm no where near nyc. lol. thanks for the offer though!! i'll probably end up manning up and doing it with a friend, or paying a shop to do it.

The precat deletes come with defoulers to trick your O2 sensors... CEL came up for me once. I unplugged the battery and it hasn't come back yet. ~200 miles

Defoulers are provided when you purchase the deletes. With the deletes and a race/test pipe, you'll be running catless. Chances are, a CEL won't pop up. If one does and you can see what the code is, post it up on here. Al (stillhere) has a solution to a specific code -- unplug the battery to reset the CEL. I didn't have anything to retrieve the code so I just unplugged my battery. Like I said before, nothing has popped up again.
