Looks great. Best 20x10.5 and 20x9 set up I've seen. I considered getting those coilovers as well, but couldn't justify spending $1700 more than H&R springs. I would have if my car were not a lease though. Half the time I end up buying my cars at lease end any how as they are generally worth about the residual.

These cars look awesome but the damn tranny issues and miscellaneous clunks really take a lot of the luster away. Hopefully it is just

Sexy, Sexy . I still wish Acura had designed the aero kit as bumper replacements though.

Looks GREAT!
Tire sizes?
Just bought a 2016 TLX AWD...Anyone know if all the specs are the same from FWD & AWD? So I can do 10's in the rear? Trying to order wheels, but no one knows about the AWD cars...

Hey Mike,

In reference to the RV6 Downpipe, did the car throw out a check engine light and did it pass emissions test? @Richie v6 too.

No check engine or emission light. Great sound and power gain. Here is a few pictures. Enjoy!

Sound clips with exhaust? Does anyone even make an exhaust for this car? Sure wish we could hear it, if they did.

Probably still won't be exposed.... I believe if you look under a TLX the tips are there, just down and not exposed.

LMAO...I'm down for the video. You got 2 guys out back much more adept at washing cars though!

I'll let you know when the parts come in and I can come by for an alignment.

So, I went by Acura of Pembroke Pines for my alignment and had a chance to see and hear the white TLX in person.

That exhaust sounds absolutely amazing...
Figured I'd share since there was some interest in people wanting to hear how it sounds on the car. 1st catback for it, if I'm not mistaken! Looks to be very quality too.

I've only come into this thread of TLX for the most part, feel free to share the video to any other exhaust related threads on AZ.

Chan Mike I've always been a fan of the CV5's and wondered what they'd look like on the BWP tlx when you first started the build. Now I know they'll look good on the tlx.

Too bad you spend all that $ on exhaust and you cannot see it :/. It looks great on a lift tho. O well I guess this is Acura now ��
