Just bought my Beautiful TL Today and I bought it as kinda a project car that i can put a bit of money into and also enjoy it as a daily driver, I have been reading through treads but there are so many with such scattered info its like putting a puzzle together so if you have any answers to any of my questions it'd be awesome if I could get some answers

#1 Where are the best places to guy performance parts online, do you guys have any sites you recommend or have had good experiences with or just sites that have good prices and fast shipping??

#2 What are some performance parts what will increase my HP output that aren't too big just simple small things I can slowly add on, some I have in mind are

RV6 Performance | V3 Jpipe & HFPC Combo

( Not too sure if that combo kit is any good but that J -Pipe and High Flow) I've been looking through threads and seen it being recommended but how exactly does it help and work?? just looking to get a bit educated here..

Another one is

69 Series Typhoon Cold Air Intake Kit by K&N

& I know you guys will ask "What are you looking for performance or sound"
when it comes to exhaust systems so I kinda want a good mix of both.

#3 I am a big guy for interior and i cant find many threads as far as interior goes such as new decks and stuff like that, some of the buttons are losing their finishing and i would like to find some upgrades for that maybe a whole console panel if they exist or if you guys have any custom mods to the interior like the automatic shift know or the plate below it it would be cool to see for some ideas

#4 Also i noticed my speakers are kinda going and the bass isn't thumpy enough for my liking so im looking into a new audio system with deck and brands you recommend for speakers and sub-woofers & decks?? is the wiring hard in the Acura TL 2007 or do you just recommend to take it into a shop to get them to do it.. I would like to be educated as much as I can

#5 I Wanna de-badge my Acura but im scared when i take the badges off the shade of white will be alot better retained under the emblems and there will be a noticeable difference when compared or is that not a common issue?

I do have a few other questions but that should be good for now, trying to learn a bit about my car before i start modding her that's for any prof advice .

Click the vendor link at the top right of the page. It has every vendor that caters to TLs and other acuras.
The rv6 products make the exhaust a little more free flowing, it frees up HP.

Here's a pro tip. When you go to Google, type in your search query with the word Acurazine at the end. You'll usually find what your looking for.

Hey Jackipz,

I also recently became interested in modding my '07 Acura TL type S. I'm on a budget so I was considering doing small mods and then going into the bigger more expensive projects. I was thinking about getting the stage 1 or 3 performance chip and also a voltage performance chip at performancechiptuning.com. Some other projects to consider would be replacing the later going into replacing the intake. (check this thread out for more info.)

As for the interior I was more into the electronics and seriously considered this...

HONDA20PINVIDEOTONAVIGATION - * Honda Acura With 20 Pin Plug At Factory Navigation [Video To Nav] With Ipod Iphone Backup Input [30 Pin Ipod Only] - LockPick

... may not be completely legal...

Haven't bought any of these items yet but if anyone has any feedback would be awesome!

Thanks

Your first post and you're talking about this garbage?

Performance Chip Tuning Racing ECU Car Chips Power Super Flash

You're either spamming or just really naive. If it's the latter, please don't buy any of that junk. It will do nothing for your car.

So then what would you recommend?

As far as tuning, Flashpro is the only sensible option.

RV6 Performance
XLR8 Performance
Heeltoe Automotive

#2

CAI (recommend AEM V2)
Port and Polish throttle body, upper manifold and runners (lower manifold) through member Gerzand and Maxbore.com - or try the 3.7L TL SW-AWD TB/upper mani swap (search for info here on Azine)
High flow pre-cats or pre-cat deletes
J-pipe (one that removes the 3rd cat)
Cat-back exhaust
UR lightweight pulley
Lightweight flywheel and clutch if manual
Hondata flashpro tune
Short throw shifter, bushings and knob
Stage 0 - fluids
Brakes - pads and rotors
Weight removal (Google "TL diet acurazine" for the thread)


That's a good start. After that look into cams and head work (one good shop is kingmotorsports).

Or research turbos, superchargers and nitrous.

In short - Read, plan, save up a shitload of money, execute and enjoy

Can't help you on interior or audio, sorry.

Ps:
redlinegoods.com has some interior leather products

Some members have also done aftermarket steering wheel work through Dallas Custom Steering Wheel.

And acuraoemparts.com is a great place to buy OEM parts at discount.
