@Steven Bell - Sorry for the multi post. I had an after thought and too late to edit my previous one.
The vid clips in that thread are coming up as pics for me.

Very interesting video.
To each their own. While the B series does sound good, the sound of the TL dwarfs the hatch (my opinion). It's so aggressive and has that exotic, "WTF was that" sound. I'm sure if a group of cars heard that exhaust note on the side of the road, they would not expect it came from a TL. That's another thing I love about it.

It dwarfs it, but it certainly wouldn't say it sounds "exotic". The NSX is more of an exotic V6 sound with a more "performance" minded cam profile.


Again...to each his own.

I hate to bump an old thread but no need to make a new one.
Here is the exhaust I went with, no mufflers just the stock resonator.(BTW it is my friend driving so don't hate he drives auto but did awesome in my car.)http://s1137.photobucket.com/albums/...DVIDEO0006.mp4

All of you have lots of sweet and sick mods done to your TLs'. I brought mine from Japan when I was stationed there in the Navy. Has a tiny bit more power than the ones built here, but mine offered the shawd as standard, then again, i bought it where they build them. I am limited in my knowledge as a moder of this car, Any info on how to make it better,stronger and faster will be installed in it. I have only installed a drop in K&N and removed the exhaust resonator and third muffler. Is there a performance tune that can be done for some more power and a limiter removal trick?, I DO NOT AGREE with that bullshit and so called GENTLEMANS' agreement that the TUV and Japanese emporer put out when it comes to fast ass cars. You know, the limiter that cant be bypassed that so many often do?!?!?! HELP please, thank you for all the great ideas and mod hints. Keep em' coming!!

OMG! I seriously hope your not talking about a 3G TL. You know they are US market car designed in California and built in Ohio right? They aren't sold in Japan, and only get exported from the US to a few countries (Canada & China)!

Yeah, I'm not sure what car you have, but if it's a TL and you got it from Japan, it was imported there, not built there:


Acura TL - Third generation (UA6-UA7)


Model years 2004–2008
Assembly Marysville, Ohio, USA
Engine: 3.2 L J32A3 (258 hp) V6, 3.5 L J35A8 (286 hp) V6 (Type-S only)
Transmission: 5-speed automatic, 6-speed manual (2004-2006, 2007-2008 Type-S only)
Wheelbase: 107.9 in (2,741 mm)Length189.3 in (4,808 mm)
Type-S: 189.8 in (4,821 mm) Width72.2 in (1,834 mm) Height56.7 in (1,440 mm) Curb weight3,480 lb (1,579 kg)

The first third-generation Acura TL rolled off the assembly line on September 30, 2003. On October 6, 2003, the third generation Acura TL (the 3.2 moniker was dropped) was released for sale in North America. Developed mainly in the United States by a team led by Erik Berkman with bodywork by American Honda designer Jon Ikeda, the new TL was built in Marysville, Ohio, and was derived from the 7th generation US-market Honda Accord.
Starting with this generation, this model was not sold in Japan, with the Honda Inspire holding the position of entry level luxury sedan below the Honda Legend in Japan.
