Stock TL Exhaust to Type-S Exhaust
So I was lucky enough to get my hands on a stock Type-S exhaust from a local member. I ordered my Type-S rear lip from Tim at Hondaacuraworld.com but it isn't due to arrive until next weekend.
I sold my rear aspec lip to a member in DC so I got lucky and have a job to do in his area so I am delivering it to him on Monday. I had already taken the bumper off to remove the rear lip so I figured, mount the exhaust now and cut the bumber. I already have holes and marks on the bumper so whatever.
I will post some pictures of the car with the type-s lip once I get it. Here are some pictures of the two exhaust side by side to see that it is a direct match. Can't go wrong with the type-s tips.
Here is the oem aspec lip ready to go to the new owner.....

Yo!
Whoa whoa whoa! Hold the phone! I need to pay attention to this... DId you already cut the bumper? I can't tell. I'm prolly gonna need to order a Type-s rear lip as well so that my ATLP (hopefully it goes through) will fit. If it's not too much of a hassle can you take lots of pics of the cutting? I gotta learn this... and if enough people do then maybe we can get a group buy on Type-S lips!

mmade has cut small notches at the side of the exhaust-ports to allow the type-s exhaust fit the base-bumper.
I believe to fit the type-s a-spec you will need to cut a bigger portion of the exhaust ports. Then apply the type-s a-spec like you would normally.

Thier really is not diff between teh TL-S and base TL exhuast system, besides the 2 tips at teh end. I really wish the Base TL tips were chrome, and poop out more, like the ATLP Base exhuast.

grrrr... im gonna steal your garage one day 
you'll come home from work, and i will have sawed your house in half, and flatbedded your garage to NY
man... if my garage was like that, i'd also keep like a mint 67 GTO in there
nice conversion.... here is something that i never thought about until today only
Acura claimed the Type-S had a throatier exhaust..... both exhausts are EXACTLY the same, minus the tips.... so is there a different muffler in there? or is this "throatier" sound accomplished from the type-s Primary Cats being 600 cell/inch versus base Pre-Cats at 900 cell/inch

The garage is no bigger than before. I think I know why.... With the exhaust behind the car, you can get an idea of the room I have. It is a very large 2.5 car garage 680 square feet in all. The funny thing.....when we lived in NY and owned a co-op, it was a mere 700 square feet. I spend most of my time in it as would most car nuts.

I am going to do what most guys have done and remove the resignator and mid muffler. Thanks to Al with the great video of that mod
Thanks for the
on the garage. This is not the first time it has been on this form. Many, many mods have taken place here as a lot of Charlotte locals can tell you. The ATLP install on Friday had seven people deep hanging out.

its a funny thing... thewanderer has the pick of the liter when it comes to garages... he's really got it good... I think the only thing his garage doesn't have is a hose to wash ur car in... and I may be wrong I just never seen it
I guess he'd have to answer how many cars fit... i can think at least 6

That is a nice garage and I wish I had a shop like that. Looks like a lot gets done in that place.
You New Yorkers always looking to steal.
You guys need to make a road trip down here and get a photo shoot with Eric.
SSMTL- Your Ferrari would look real sweet in it. Anytime you want bring it down. Just make sure you bring me six dozen pizzas from your restaurant

I have couple questions, is the bumper on your car a NON TLS bumper or is it a TLS bumper? im looking to install a TLS exhaust as well on my base TL, if i were to buy the rear aero kit will it fit on the non TLS rear bumper if I were to cut holes for the exhaust and mounting holes?

Jack, I guess nothing impresses you? I have worked long and hard on my garage for what it has become today. Epoxy floor, custom work bench, crown molding, TV with cable, computer with internet access, full size fridge and the list goes on. I guess its just a garage....... Right?
OK back on topic!
I got the lip in today and Eric came over to help out with the install. I decided to do a DIY so that everyone could see how involved it is to get this on. It's not to bad and the outcome is
Here is the DIY-
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/e-121-diy-installing-type-s-aspec-rear-lip-base-tl-bumper-709992/
Of course, here a few pictures.
BTW- I am redoing my garage floor in March and putting down a clearcoat over the epoxy blue so wait until you see that. I am hoping for a reflection on the floor.
