Anyone know of a cheap (when I say cheap... I mean CHEAP) 3rd cat delete option? Test pipe preferably. Hollowing the cat is another option.

Or does anyone know if I can buy just the front and rear cat flanges for an 05 TL? All local shops refuse to remove the cat and replace it with pip, but if I just take the cat off the car myself and take it to them, they'll have no problem doing it.

 

umm. yeah. a test pipe. they are cheap.

 

Just ordered a new clutch master, synchromesh tranny fluid, comptech short shifter, and got a 4 wheel alignment. I'm a little low on funds. Looking for maybe $50???

 

^just wait until you have the money and do it.

why do you want a test pipe on your stock exhaust anyway?

 

I'll sell you a hfc for $100.... I'll take $50 now to ship and $50 when you can swing the rest. pm if interested

 

But I too would like to know where to buy those flanges

 

yeah...why a test pipe?
if you're looking for gains, why not get a jpipe that deletes the third cat?

you wont even see an increase in power with just a test pipe.
it would be WASTING YOU MONEY.

 

wow dude... wasn't looking for a smart-assed dick-headed response.... it was just a simple quick question, and i was expecting a helpful answer. Forums are a way to help people, but they are also here to showboat how much of a tool you are. i see you have clearly chose option 2 on this day...


anyone else think they can help me out here? if i can buy the flanges, i can pay 15 and have it made into a test pipe at a local exhaust shop...

dont know about you guys, but id rather pay $50 for the same thing that i can pay $250 for <<<just because it has a name on it.

 

That is very tempting....... i'll have to think about that.

Oh believe me... i've been wishing for a RV-6 long tube test pipe since i bought my car... coming from an 88 civic, then a 91 integra, and being 21 years old... i cant really see myself paying that kind of money for an exhaust system let alone a Jpipe... lol im not looking for power/torque gains. just wanna alter the sound.

 

all I can say is.....Dont be cheap.
that is all.
kthxbye

 

huh? i wasn't trying to be rude, just asking you a question.

and paying $50 will not get you anything. a test pipe won't increase your performance. a $350 jpipe will (which deletes your third cat entirely, thus no need for a test pipe). if you do get a shop to custom fab you something, you'll end up with nasty rasp bc of the stage mods you've done.

if you're looking to change your sound, you've pretty much hit your mark with the stage mods.

 

thank you, that answers my question. guess ill just save up... UGH

 

Justin is a nice guy. He helped alot of people out on this forum including me. I think you just took it the wrong way dude. What he said was right, if your all stock and getting a test pipe will only gain you a minimal gain that i bet you will barely notice. Since ur looking for a quick upgrade and cheap i guess you could do it that way and save until you have enough for the jpipe. You can also buy older version jpipe that doesnt delete the 3d b/c those are pretty cheap as well, around 100-150 used, just look around the black market and sooner or later you will find one.

ps. Nice car for a 21 year old

 

^he was talking about me.

i know i know...i'm just as shocked as you are that somebody wasn't pissed off at justin. what's the world coming to?

 

thank you! when i first saw this car in late '03.. i knew i would one day have one. really wish i would have did more research before i bought it though.... no NAVI kinda stinks... and i didnt think it would be that hard to do a NAVI swap. lol. i was 20 when i bought the car. but yeah. everyone thinks "mommy and daddy" bought me the car.. so i had a buddy cut me that vinyl on my trunk to show otherwise.

 

haha yea I'm pretty sure this isnt the first time he got call an asshole.

 

yeah... for some reason.. Justin's comment didnt piss me off.... but yours did. weird. probably because i misinterpreted your comment. lol my bad bro.

 

it's all good. you're pretty local to me, ever come to any car meets we have? check the regional section once in a while.

 

i can relate to taht man. At 20ish ur blood is already boiling the minute u wake up. One wrong move and you ready to go! but almost everyone on here is here to help each other out.

 

except justin.

 

^ You Said It....Not me haha

 

nope, never been to any meets. afraid of getting ridiculed..... my father raised me to "bleed orange" (GM).. he said im a dissapointment to the family driving around all these "rice burners"

my mother just bought a 2011 buick lacrosse and the thing is no joke. 6spd auto/stick... crazy torque.... he decided to line up for a 35 roll one day.. i even gave him the delay of the automatic downshift when floor-boarded... still walked on him.

I am very knowledegable in older honda/acura shit... anything OBDII im worthless... too many sensors and monitoring

 

i'm not scared of justin. he's only 1/2 asian...he can't be that good at martial arts.

 

Not All Asian know martial arts dude. I don't know shiiii

 

uh huh...yeah right, that's what they all say. next thing you know you're face down on the sidewalk.

nice try tho

Whoa... This thread got way off-topic way fast! Hahah


Just to push it a little more... Anyone know of an iPhone app that the forum is compatible with? Tapatalk doesn't support acurazine... and there is no mobile version..... :'(

 

^it's been discussed before...and doesn't look like it'll happen.

someone once made an application, but it was shut down the same day for whatever reason...i assume some sort of rights to the program.
