New to Acura New to the Car thing.

So I recently separated from me the Navy. The time in the service was great which lead me to buy my very own first car. It's a 3G all black TL. Purchashed in Jax, FL About 174k miles on it. Recently just changed the intake. The one on there was horrid, definitely an at home job! I replaced it with a DC Sports Cold Air Intake first time doing it myself, along with replacing it I changed all the rubber tubes connecting to the throttle body. Definitely fun thing to do. My next thing to do is replace my jpipe. I've been doing my research so it's obviously between the atlp xlr8 and/or Rv6. Still haven't completely decided. With that in consideration believe it's also illegal to delete cats in northern va. So it's been a lot of work researching what's legal or illegal but still trying to have my baby sound monsterous on these quiet suburban streets. Just want to say thx for all prior threads I've been using before signing up, you guys are very knowledgable. Saved me some time.

I would suggest an ATLP-V2 J-pipe to pair it with your XLR-8 HF cat. I'm running an XLR-8 test pipe paired with the ATLP-V2, and The top end is very satisfying and pleasant experience to hit WOT on my 3g.

Might as well go for the Tein Street Advance, I have them on my TL. I'm very happy with them. Endlessrpm has them for $604 right now! Great price!

Setup






Current setup, think I've found the fitment and look. Not so much color thinking of powder coating black. Wheels need to repainted regardless. But 300 bucks is a steal.
