Are you sure the 3.0 V6 Type-S TLX system will even fit your 2.0 inline 4 A-Spec TLX because the part numbers are different???

For example, even if you were lucky enough to get a Type-S owner to part with their factory exhaust; #11 (below) at the price you desire above,
I'm thinking a 2021-24 3.0L TLX Type-S V6 system won't fit your #7 (below) 2021 2.0L 4-cylinder 21-A-Spec TLX:

2021-24 3.0L TLX Type-S: 18305-TGZ-A04





2021-2023 Acura TLX Muffler W/Tailpipe 18305-TGZ-A04 | OEMAcuraPart (oemacuraparts.com)


2021 2.0L 4-cylinder 21-A-Spec TLX: 18305-TGV-A02




2021-2022 Acura TLX Muffler W/Tailpipe 18305-TGV-A02 | OEMAcuraPart (oemacuraparts.com)

It looks close though, am I overlooking something obvious?

@zeta it appears to be a good fit with no issues. HEre's a link to a thread. This is exactly my wish - a 21 Aspec that fits a Type-S exhaust.

I havent found anyone who says it does NOT work or had fitment issues.

^

So, you are ultimately just looking to swap in the mufflers with the help of an exhaust shop, not to fit the whole exhaust pipe assembly that disconnects from the #1 Front Pipe?
That OP alanchungg, on the provided thread, just talks about swapping the Type-S mufflers.

@zeta - well damn, I read it quick, without reading all of the details and just assumed it was a whole swap. Thx for breaking my bubble, but I owe you a beer for the money you saved me

@zeta as I dig more, here's 2 guys who said the Type-S exhaust bolts up directly on the A-Spec. The plot thickens

Sorry, I did not intend to, just wanted to bring up the differences in part numbers on such an expensive factory exhaust.
Though, I did think to myself, while doing the research above, that Acura / Honda was very clever to attach the left muffler to that huge pipe assembly and label it as such with a cost of $1607,

Had they just separated the left muffler from the pipe assembly, they would have probably had a run on both mufflers from you 4 cylinder folks and made a fortune, lol.

Nice find, seems like a possibility!

Yeah, I would of liked to have seen some actual pictures, of the ASPEC front pipe connection to the Type-S rear pipe assembly, from MY21TLXASPEC and amarucci to be sure?

Good Luck, if you find a whole Type-S system and don't forget to get pictures of the final install.

So I found a type S exhaust in Cali (junkyard). I’m in NC.

$750 for one side muffler and all the piping. $350 for the short muffler only.

But the kicker is $790 to ship. Yeah, No!

May ask them to cut off the long side muffler and send me just the mufflers.

Will keep you updated.

Ouch!

I thought the guy below may have used the whole Type-S system on his Aspec; however, it appears he only used the muffles because he wanted to keep the Aspec resonators.

I picked up the type s exhaust and got rid of those hdmi looking tips. I have a loud NSX as my weekend car so I wanted to keep my daily TLX quiet, so I decided to keep my a spec piping since it has resonators but the type s doesn't. I kept only the mufflers.

@zeta This is confirmation that the Type S exhaust fits PERFECTLY on the A-Spec (or other TLX models). I bought one this weekend, installed it (took 2 hours and I took my time). Fit is perfect, no issues. Your factory diagrams matches the exhaust and you can see them side by side in the second picture.

Love the new look, still debating whether or not move the resonated section of the original exhaust over to the Type S side (I'm hearing some resonance and minor vibrations at various times).
