Has anyone found a solution for the new TL's stupid integrated header design?
Let me know your thoughts.

 

there is 1, cut up the motor block and install some custom headers, it isn't worth it. if you really want to do headers and not spend money cutting up the block, take out the motor and polish and port it. The stock design is very good already, plus it saves weight.

 

thanks man. hey does richie do the precat deletes for the TL S?

 

yes, but be advised that your exhaust will smell horrible and you will never be able to pass emmsions testing.

 

JPipe is close as it gets to solution for headers while being legal

 

so with the pre cats emissions will fail? and what kinda smell we talking about, i just placed an order on these without knowing to much about them, can i get some info from you guys.

 

dont worry, it will pass, no proved cel. No codes thrown. I am waiting on these too. Ask blackura

 

i'm in florida, don't have emissions. Still, it's good to know.

 

Thanks

 

no CEL doesn't matter, when they smell the excess fuel out of you car and test the exhaust, your going to fail, unless you know the place and can slip the person some $$$ also it will fail the visual too since you removed them, you can't give the e-shift excuse that the old ones failed so you replaced them...

also the smell smells like strong syrup.

 

Yep, plus it makes the car sound hella louder and raspy..

 

some states dont do knox on obdii... for those states that just plug in to the obdii the precat deletes pass with flying colors

for those states which test the exhaust via putting the car on the dyno and idling and accelerating the precat deletes will not pass... unless you install like 1 900 cell cat in place of the 3rd cat (just for the emissions test)

the smell really isn't as bad as you may thinK... although if you are following a catless tl at wide open throttle you will smell a faint 2stroke dirtbike like smell

the only other time you will smell it is if there is a tail wind and you just slowed down after going wide open
