Sol_Tek's 2013 TL SH-AWD in BWP Progress Thread
Well Here is my 4G TL SH-AWD. I bought the car exactly a month ago. So far the car is pretty impressive, I recently switched the motor oil to ACURA ultimate full Synthetic, the car feels a lot smoother and fits my expectations with Synthetic. As for the red badges on the car Yes it is that controversial "California Edition" that i picked up, but the car had the optional equipment I wanted "Advance package, Factory A-spec kit, Deck lid spoiler, and ACURA optional 19" wheels.

I ended up taking out the Endless J-pipe and not buying the ATLP Pre-Fab Mufflers, so I purchased and installed The RV-6 J-pipe. Now I'm keeping this set-up and saving up for Full ATLP Quad Exhaust. (Sorry it got dark during install and did not take further pics once j-pipe was installed)

Look at you with your fancy red California edition badges, and your blinged out diamond cut 19's OH YOU FANCY HUH? Lol You didn't waste any time modding her out.
She's a beauty!!!
Just a few quick questions on your latest purchases.
What made you decide to get rid of the Endless RPM j pipe and replace it with the RV6? Was it because of the build quality or was it because it didn't meet your expectations?
My next purchase will be a similar setup ATLP resonated as well. So I'm basing off everything from members feedbacks. Thanks

Lol, shes fancy and all , but I expected Acura to put more of a performance aspect into this edition on top of the fanciness, and so I didn't hesitate on modding her lol, and thanks for the comments man.
With the Endless j pipe, I liked it at 1st, but it really didn't meet my expectations, also I got a check engine light one night so that got me frustrated on thinking was it the j pipe that caused it, but it was my front cat, but I wonder if the j pipe has some involvement in so.
Looking at pics at the RV-6 j pipe I saw lot of quality and a great build of a j pipe, so I pulled the trigger and order it. The RV-6 was just a described, one beautifully built j pipe, once I got the RV-6 installed, I just heard how it opened the exhaust by a bigger margin than the endless. The Rv-6 fitted my expectations and had no problems with it. So far 1.3k miles on it and no issues.
As for the ATLP, I am very happy with it, the system has a very deep tone, low drone, and it does not get unwanted attention. It sounds pretty damn good on heavy throttle and WOT, suits me for my daily driving purposes
Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything other feedback man.

I really like the Progress Bar actually. IMO it made my SH-AWD much more fun although I've have gotten that It feels aggressive for your average Joe, but to me it feels that it should of been this way out of the factory with a 22mm rear bar. I have it on Soft setting and I'm satisfied at that setting.
Progress Auto has the bar for $182.75 at the moment!
