Also I own a Fully Bolted/Tuned/Bagged 2008 Acura TL Type S Automatic. Note that the TL/TL-S isn't exactly the best platform when it comes to performance. The $ to HP ratio is very high on the money side and not so much on the gains. If you set a reasonable goal that you want to achieve, it can be done as long as you know what you're diving into. Some members spend $$$ and get disappointed with less than expected gains. There is plenty information in the --> 3G TL Performance Parts & Modifications - AcuraZine Community <-- Thread. Search is your best friend. But like the others posted above, READ, READ, READ. Major Key, before you even consider doing performance mods, make sure your car is up on maintenance. Very very important as well.

Below are the performance mods I have done and I have attached some videos with pulls,a race (I have more but haven't uploaded yet), burnout and Dyno session. I also attach a graph which shows my baseline dyno all the way to my current fully bolted dyno. My progress thread is linked in my Signature below (which needs to update ) but you can follow my Instagram --> http://www.instagram.com/tliscious_typesex <-- which have the latest updates as well.

Performance Mods:
-3.7 SH-AWD Intake Manifold
-ZDX Throttle Body
-PNP Lower Intake Runners
-P2R Intake Manifold Spacer w/ Thermal Gaskets
-Rv6 v3 PreCat Deletes
-Rv6 v3 Jpipe
-Rv6 v3 True Dual Catback Quad Exhaust
-UR Lightweight Pulley
-Throttle Body Coolant Bypass
-4-inch Cold Air Intake
-Hondata FlashPro (Hondata Tuned by DomGSR-T)
