Hondamobilemechanic , why not try the JB4 beta testing for the type s. I’ve used JB4 back when it came out for the 2007 BMW 335i and now it’s been 14 years. They make it for Honda and acura now. It’s at burgermotorsports.
Thank you. I’d really like to see an intercooler made for this car. It does not do well in heat and intake temos go through the roof while Idling. Also we need some sort of engine management to really wake the car up.
Just uploaded a launch video not too long ago on mine.. I’m definitely waiting for more support on tunes for the car. I’ve been getting many compliments down here in Maryland 😂 I think I’m the only one who has it with white with red

I have my order in for a 2022 Type S, Apex Blue/Red Interior. Awaiting build and delivery. I know this is custom, but it sounds so amazing I feel like I need it essentially upon delivery of my vehicle. I felt the stock exhaust was ok...However, with what you did, it's absolutely stellar on the sound improvements alone. That it adds any measurable speed improvement is icing on the cake. Can't wait for ECU mods on this car, as I feel once it hits 400hp/400lb tq it will own the M340/S4's of the world and be a truly stellar car. It's just so heavy it really needs that extra 50'ish HP/TQ to be truly competitive. Please hit me back and let me know the details of how I can get this downpipe made (in addition to your genius idea on the other tube you replaced with a pipe). I don't mind paying you or your guy / shop to do this since they obviously know what they are doing. Amazing job man.

I would shoot them a dm as they are taking preorders. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for my next set of mods!
Love that its back but not the weight. 340 with TU pump/M340 is 470 whp with 93 and Dp, about 520 with E50. Hopefully soon someone cracks the ECU. Looking at replacing my M240 with a blue one. Hard to go from a 10.8 with $1500; Dp/TU pump/E50, to a 13/14 second sedan.
Im interested in that same setup on mine. Also when doing sound tests not long after the car is turned on, the valves stay open in normal. Always closed in comfort. Thats why the sound was pretty much the same from normal to sport or sport+ during testing.

Thanks for watching dude. I was impressed myself with how my mph it picked up. Hopefully someone down the line will make a nice active exhaust for it, until then this one is staying on.
Sweet dowpipe and big gains! I recommend wrapping it, seems aweful close to that tranny output shaft. Def a mid to low 12s car with FBO and tune. Im getting the nagging feeling IATs are high even on cool days. We will have to see what a scanner says. U could always try icing the intercooler with c02 or somethin then makin a run. If it picks up alot then high IATs are holdin ya back. Just a thought.
Yeah I plan on ceramic coating it soon. Iats are 💯 an issue. If I let it idle for a minute and then do a pass the car is significantly slower. I’ll have to get a scanner on there to get some data but from a well trusted source they are horrendous.
@@BCautosutions well there ya go. Once we get those under control the car may pickup alot. U could try 1 gallon e85 as well and see of it picks up due to timing being pulled from high iats on pump gas causing knock. Sweet downpipe again, maybe u can make me one in the future! No CELS yet?

@@BCautosutions can always setup whoever made urs makin a few more and distribute. 1 gal e85 wont throw off ur mix much and would be a quick test to see if its pulling timing. Ud wanna get it thoroughly mixed tho. Just sayin 😉
Hey man, Nice video. Exhaust sounds nuts and im sure itll be a great supporting mod for when its time to do what honda didnt want to do and add power to this pig. My question is: will that driveshaft handle the added torque? That shaft looks really small when you were showing us the exhaust.
Wow man this is awesome. I just got mine delivered last week. It’s an amazing car. So excited for mods coming. How did your get that at downpipe. I’m dying to let this thing breath but I don’t wanna change that active exhaust. Also can’t wait for tune!!!!
I just installed the ATLP high flow A pipe today & it sounds really good, it has a deep sound to it now I wanna do a custom made downpipe like yours & I'd like to know who made yours or did you make it yourself
@@BCautosutions Hey man I will keep it anonymous I'm here in North Jersey & won't hesitate to travel to South Jersey for one of these, but I'll check with local shops as well
Thx for this vid once again I finally found a downpipe, the company IMR or Infinity Motorsports racing out of Connecticut is the first to manufacture both catted & catless downpipe so they will install everything for me including a JB4 with Bluetooth connection so it should be tuned just right, I went with catless downpipe. Now I unfortunately have to drive out there to get all this done but I know in the end it'll be worth it.
@@BCautosutions what are your goals for it if you don't mind me asking ? I saw the low 13 run and got intrigued. I figured the fun parts wouldn't be available right away. Has potential for sure. They took for ever to go with the turbo J . Understandable , N/A worked so well for so long. My daily is a 07 TL type s. My second J car , was skeptical on this first Gen TLX Type s , had the itch for sure. Wanted to wait for the 2nd Gen honestly
@@Dude_man96 yes the parts are gonna take a while between production line shortages, new platform, and very minimal sales (again production issues) some companies are hesitant although last 2-3 months we have seen a surge of r&d take place. My goal is a reliable daily capable of being comfortable for my family and running consistent 11.5s and once there are some decent pads for it maybe some road racing as well.
This is awesome. I'm hoping beyond hope to find a certified used one in a few years down the road and I wanna Hondata that v6. When are you planning on tuning it?
Love it.. would tighten up the radius coming up a few degrees next build and straighten it quicker...i want this mod.. waiting on my tiger eye pearl/orchid.. cuz the ca. 110 fwy ate my 2021 white/red tlx aspec..! Its already on rails.. it just pulls around corners and long turns.. also yes.. sport setting and + have increased everything... i set the personalized and its a straight push of a button and I got the throttle, steering, suspension and shift points.. the v6 is gonna be insane.. ...
Just had my downpipe installed & it sounds terrific but the only thing is the installer didn't put my heat shield back on & man that thing gets really hot & I didn't want it to get in the engine bay, now I gotta to try to get this thing on and there's no room to get around the pipe
Hey man. Love the car. I have 22 type s and am having a downpipe made. Would you be able to share details on flange sizes used. Need to order parts. Thanks!!
I could be wrong but I thought catless downpipe doesn't get that much gain without a proper tune. I thought it will be more like 10 to 20 horsepower gain without a tune if you're lucky. But then again I could be wrong.
@@AlaskanSnowLeopard on turbo motors in this segment you do get a nice gain just from downpipe alone. The b58 gains around 20-30whp with just catless DP. I kno the stinger/g70 gain around 30whp with just catless downpipes as well. It frees up a lot of back pressure. The oem cats are very restrictive.
Hey question, do you have a check engine light or anything after installment of the down pipe? If you did how did you get rid of the check engine light ? Also, are you running a tune ?
No I don’t have a check engine light. You need to install a defouler. I’m on an oem map still, waiting for k tuner. whoosh-motorsports.myshopify.com/products/copy-of-vibrant-02-sensor-defouler-j-style-thread-on-bung-w-restrictor-fittings-for-adjustable-flow?_pos=1&_sid=4673287e7&_ss=r
Question getting a down pipe won’t void the warranty or really put anything to risk that they can void the warranty. Like drive shaft issues. You have had this down pipe for about a year correct? I only ask cause I just recently got the same car and want more volume when I put it in sport put don’t want to void any warranty yet.
Nope, won’t/shouldn’t void anything but they will always use that as a way to get out of it. I’ve been with my downpipe for about 13 months now no issues
I wanted to ask did you modify the exhaust at this point or was the extra sound a result of the downpipe & the other pipe installed with no exhaust modifications at all, if so I might not do exhaust at all but your same setup
Yes all I did was eliminate the cats, the rest of the exhaust system is stock and in normal/comfort mode it’s slightly louder then stock. In sport/+ modes full throttle is noticeablely louder but not too much
While you're doing this for the TLX, I'm hoping to the the same with the MDX once it finally drop lol. But my question for the down pipe is that 3in flex piece. what is it for? just confused and trying to get a good idea of things before making any changes and map out some ideas for the future. Also would you recommend Stainless Steel for the downpipe just to avoid rusting? thanks in advance!
Hey thanks for watching. Yes all these mods will be applicAble to the mdx with some obvious design changes. The flex pipe is exactly that so there’s a flex point in the exhaust to avoid cracking. The oem system actually has a flex and a exhaust Donut allowing for 2 flex points. The higher quality metal, the best for longevity for sure. 👍🏻
@@BCautosutions thx brother! May need to have a chat with you in the next month or so.. took the MDX type S out for a spin and the exhaust note on it is just… bad.. no where near the tlx 🤦🏾♂️. Gotta get that boy to move/roar man lol. It’s fast as heck for an SUV though.
@@elijahsmith8515 yeah when I saw the video I was like it sounds very quiet but wasn’t sure if it was a bad video or not, but now you have confirmed it
@@BCautosutions yea man they used a different muffler system on it. Thought the same thing too with the audio but when I went to the dealer I had my son rev the car in excitement, I just looked at the dealer with a “wth” look and he shook his head too lol. For the price Acura really should have gave us what we were expecting on that part. Just gotta see what can be done to get the right sound now.
So you added an aluminum pipe to get heat soaked and warm up your cooled air coming from the intercooler? It’s about as smart as people adding open air intakes into the engine bay to suck up hot engine bay air instead of cold air from a sealed air box.
14.45 stock quarter? damn i was hitting 14.4 in my 13 Si with a few bolt ons and a crap tune back in 2013 at the fontana raceway. sure it weighs less but the power to weight difference is way better on the TLX. i wonder what it does on an actual quarter mile and not just an app. my biggest surprise is that it's auto and i was ripping a manual and fwd. very interesting.
I had it made at a local fab spot but he wants to stay anonymous. I would just hit up your local guys. Any of them should be able to make you something

The S55 engine got way more power and response than the N54 when the designers used a air to water intercooler and shortened the path from the turbo to the throttle body. Although it adds hoses and a pump, it gets rid of all the length of 2.5”-3” piping . You could do the same.
Will you replace the stock exhaust with custom exhaust or muffler delete?. That will definitely make the difference and set you apart to another level 💯
I'm looking to get cai and downpipe and getting a bigger throttle body. I have no idea where to look as this car still has no Vin verification online and nobody knows anything. Call a shop for rims and tires and they like "oh you can go down to 17s... " smh
Yeah 17” Deff won’t fit, smallest you can go is 19” the throttle body can be found powerrevracing.com there’s no off shelf cai or downpipe but prl should have something shortly
Glad somebody is taking this platform serious. And Super Super Glad they’re from Jersey 🤣💯💯
Lmao thanks man. In a year when there are some in the 11s then people will realize.

@@BCautosutions Hey man I will keep it anonymous I'm here in North Jersey & won't hesitate to travel to South Jersey for one of these, but I'll check with local shops as well
Thx for this vid once again I finally found a downpipe, the company IMR or Infinity Motorsports racing out of Connecticut is the first to manufacture both catted & catless downpipe so they will install everything for me including a JB4 with Bluetooth connection so it should be tuned just right, I went with catless downpipe. Now I unfortunately have to drive out there to get all this done but I know in the end it'll be worth it.
@@djsthemetereman thanks for sharing. Keep us posted on results!
@@BCautosutions Definitely my appointment is next Friday, I'll let you know
Car sounds fantastic!
Thanks!
Dat bisqwik , sounds so good.
Lol thanks
@@BCautosutions happy to see someone tinkering with that set up. I can listen to that exhaust note all day.
@@Dude_man96 Yeah it really does sound great. The car only has few mods but have plenty of stuff planned, just need the parts to arrive already
@@BCautosutions what are your goals for it if you don't mind me asking ? I saw the low 13 run and got intrigued. I figured the fun parts wouldn't be available right away. Has potential for sure. They took for ever to go with the turbo J . Understandable , N/A worked so well for so long. My daily is a 07 TL type s. My second J car , was skeptical on this first Gen TLX Type s , had the itch for sure. Wanted to wait for the 2nd Gen honestly
@@Dude_man96 yes the parts are gonna take a while between production line shortages, new platform, and very minimal sales (again production issues) some companies are hesitant although last 2-3 months we have seen a surge of r&d take place. My goal is a reliable daily capable of being comfortable for my family and running consistent 11.5s and once there are some decent pads for it maybe some road racing as well.
Imagine this car getting into the 10s, amazing
10s might be a reach without some sort of compromising all it amenities or maybe not time will tell but 11s is deff 💯 possible fairly easily imo
Love it! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks 👍🏻
Wow, great gains with simple mods.
Yes exactly
While i wish it had a 6 speed, this is still amazing.
Honeslty I never thought I would say this but I don’t miss driving a Manual trans lol
Man that sounds great 👌🏻
Thanks
@@BCautosutionsI want a down pipe but I don’t want any check engine down the line 😮
@@Lawtypes just have to get the right defouler
@@BCautosutions hi buddy. If I just got the primary downpipe would I still get some hp gain ?? And do I need a tune after that ??
@@Lawtypes primary downpipe will yield you the most gains. I went nearly a year with no tube with it
This is awesome. I'm hoping beyond hope to find a certified used one in a few years down the road and I wanna Hondata that v6. When are you planning on tuning it?
Yea I’m sure down the road you can find a used one. I’m gonna tune it as soon as there is something to tune it with lol. Hopelly Dec/Jan
Love it.. would tighten up the radius coming up a few degrees next build and straighten it quicker...i want this mod.. waiting on my tiger eye pearl/orchid.. cuz the ca. 110 fwy ate my 2021 white/red tlx aspec..! Its already on rails.. it just pulls around corners and long turns.. also yes.. sport setting and + have increased everything... i set the personalized and its a straight push of a button and I got the throttle, steering, suspension and shift points.. the v6 is gonna be insane.. ...
Digging the input, so you have an eta for the car? There’s been some hefty wait times
@@BCautosutions seems like the orders are all fullfilled and eta thru the 30th this month..
Great sound!
Thanks 🙌
Just had my downpipe installed & it sounds terrific but the only thing is the installer didn't put my heat shield back on & man that thing gets really hot & I didn't want it to get in the engine bay, now I gotta to try to get this thing on and there's no room to get around the pipe
Yes, you would need to either make the own shields work, get some aftermarket shields made, or go with a universal Downpipe blanket.
@@BCautosutions Yeah I'm gonna do that. Thx
What are your plans for the cat back? If I had this car I'd want to go with a 3" single exit. Which tune are you planning on going with?
Same look, bigger diameter titanium system. K tuner
@@BCautosutions Nice!
@@blacktalonsport1262 thanks!
Not bad. How much did the extra second or two cost exactly?
That downpipe looks good!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hey man. Love the car. I have 22 type s and am having a downpipe made. Would you be able to share details on flange sizes used. Need to order parts. Thanks!!
Hey man congrats. We actually cut the flanges off the oem cats and just used those
Seems about right downpipes usually gain 20-30whp especially catless downpipe instead of high flo cat downpipes.
Agreed
I could be wrong but I thought catless downpipe doesn't get that much gain without a proper tune. I thought it will be more like 10 to 20 horsepower gain without a tune if you're lucky. But then again I could be wrong.
@@AlaskanSnowLeopard on turbo motors in this segment you do get a nice gain just from downpipe alone. The b58 gains around 20-30whp with just catless DP. I kno the stinger/g70 gain around 30whp with just catless downpipes as well. It frees up a lot of back pressure. The oem cats are very restrictive.
@@AlaskanSnowLeopard well the data says it did. Went from a 13.5 car to a 13.0 car but yes a proper tune will 💯 benefit that even more
Interesting. Where are you located? I was getting 4.8 stock down here in the south.
I’m in jersey 1200-1400 da how about you?
Hey question, do you have a check engine light or anything after installment of the down pipe? If you did how did you get rid of the check engine light ? Also, are you running a tune ?
No I don’t have a check engine light. You need to install a defouler. I’m on an oem map still, waiting for k tuner.
whoosh-motorsports.myshopify.com/products/copy-of-vibrant-02-sensor-defouler-j-style-thread-on-bung-w-restrictor-fittings-for-adjustable-flow?_pos=1&_sid=4673287e7&_ss=r
Definitely sounds great 👍🏼.. all you need next air intake ..
Thanks.
Sounds pretty good but will sound even better once you swap a meaner exhaust in
Hopefully someone makes one soon!
Question getting a down pipe won’t void the warranty or really put anything to risk that they can void the warranty. Like drive shaft issues. You have had this down pipe for about a year correct? I only ask cause I just recently got the same car and want more volume when I put it in sport put don’t want to void any warranty yet.
Nope, won’t/shouldn’t void anything but they will always use that as a way to get out of it. I’ve been with my downpipe for about 13 months now no issues
What kind of software you running? Hondata or Ktuner? Car sounds great!
It’s not flashed or tuned. It’s on a stock map
I wanted to ask did you modify the exhaust at this point or was the extra sound a result of the downpipe & the other pipe installed with no exhaust modifications at all, if so I might not do exhaust at all but your same setup
Yes all I did was eliminate the cats, the rest of the exhaust system is stock and in normal/comfort mode it’s slightly louder then stock. In sport/+ modes full throttle is noticeablely louder but not too much
Do you remember what schedule the inlet pipe is for the throttle or the thickness? I’m going to make one my self for my MDX.
No I don’t sorry
@@BCautosutions dam. Thanks
@@Funnysquad-ps1ew 👍🏻
Wow this sounds amazing, very Maserati like
Thanks for watching
A couple more mods and it should be right there with the mk8 golf r times
👏
What’s the name of the shop that did the fab work? Hopefully they saved the pipe diagram because I want one.
They won’t make another
It sounds so damn angry! Lol
Sounds awesome wot especially at the shifts
@@BCautosutions yess
While you're doing this for the TLX, I'm hoping to the the same with the MDX once it finally drop lol. But my question for the down pipe is that 3in flex piece. what is it for? just confused and trying to get a good idea of things before making any changes and map out some ideas for the future. Also would you recommend Stainless Steel for the downpipe just to avoid rusting? thanks in advance!
Hey thanks for watching. Yes all these mods will be applicAble to the mdx with some obvious design changes. The flex pipe is exactly that so there’s a flex point in the exhaust to avoid cracking. The oem system actually has a flex and a exhaust Donut allowing for 2 flex points. The higher quality metal, the best for longevity for sure. 👍🏻
@@BCautosutions thx brother! May need to have a chat with you in the next month or so.. took the MDX type S out for a spin and the exhaust note on it is just… bad.. no where near the tlx 🤦🏾♂️. Gotta get that boy to move/roar man lol. It’s fast as heck for an SUV though.
@@elijahsmith8515 yeah when I saw the video I was like it sounds very quiet but wasn’t sure if it was a bad video or not, but now you have confirmed it
@@BCautosutions yea man they used a different muffler system on it. Thought the same thing too with the audio but when I went to the dealer I had my son rev the car in excitement, I just looked at the dealer with a “wth” look and he shook his head too lol. For the price Acura really should have gave us what we were expecting on that part. Just gotta see what can be done to get the right sound now.
@@elijahsmith8515 yeah I agree plus considering it’s heavier should have went with a slightly bigger turbo that we could swap into the tlx 😎😂
Clean
Thanks
So you added an aluminum pipe to get heat soaked and warm up your cooled air coming from the intercooler? It’s about as smart as people adding open air intakes into the engine bay to suck up hot engine bay air instead of cold air from a sealed air box.
If you saw the oem setup you would understand why I did it.
Workmanship looks good! CEL on with catless?
No, I added a defouler to avoid that
Sounds amazing, is it full catless? or is the second cat still in place ?
Full catless.
Brother I want to do this exhaust setup on mine, who can contact to get this down pipe done? Any errors after removing the cats?
🔥 the future
💯
14.45 stock quarter? damn i was hitting 14.4 in my 13 Si with a few bolt ons and a crap tune back in 2013 at the fontana raceway. sure it weighs less but the power to weight difference is way better on the TLX. i wonder what it does on an actual quarter mile and not just an app. my biggest surprise is that it's auto and i was ripping a manual and fwd. very interesting.
13.45 stock in a quarter mile is what he was saying.
It went 13.45 stock. 9th gen si will decent amount of supporting mods to keep up with these even if it were stock.
can you give me info where you had the downpipe made . i recently purchased a type s and would love to start some minor upgrade
I had it made at a local fab spot but he wants to stay anonymous. I would just hit up your local guys. Any of them should be able to make you something

Sinister af i like it
Thanks 😈
Where did you get the aluminum pipe to replace the rubber one? Did you have it made or ordered it from somewhere?
My local fab guy ordered/made it
Ok thanks need to find some that can do it for me
I want to get a high flow catted downpipe on my stock type s- will this still produce the same power as catless?
Yes
Well damn... I hear you
Congrats
Thanks
Great video
Thanks 🙏🏻
Need a tune and maybe some 4.0 flat 0-60 times. Nice platform for sure.
Thanks man, it’s coming. By end of year we should be seeing sub 4s for sure, just waiting on everything to line up 👍🏻
Subbed!
Thank you 💪🏼
The S55 engine got way more power and response than the N54 when the designers used a air to water intercooler and shortened the path from the turbo to the throttle body.
Although it adds hoses and a pump, it gets rid of all the length of 2.5”-3” piping .
You could do the same.
I want to keep everything as stock location as possible In the event some day I want to return it to stock I easily can
Hey just got my type s, is your down pipe catless ? I want to open my exhast up more haha need to know what you did LOL
Yes it’s catless. Did exactly that. Straight pipe the cat section 👍🏻
Do you have check engine light after instalation the downpipe?
@@vtec_power with the right steps I do not.
@@BCautosutions thanks! Were you get flanges for downpipe? I want to make downpipe as you
@@vtec_power cut my oem ones off
Can't you unplug the valve or somehow just make the exhaust valve remain open all the time?
Sure, if you want an eventual cel that won’t let you change modes and still won’t eliminate the restrictive cats
Will you replace the stock exhaust with custom exhaust or muffler delete?. That will definitely make the difference and set you apart to another level 💯
No I want to keep the car quiet when I want it to be and loud when I need it to be lol
Is the aluminum plumbing 1 piece? Or multiple pieces cleaned up to look like 1 piece?
It’s 1 piece
What can i do to get this exact setup? I'm willing to travel I live in NJ.
had it custom made, my fab guy is 6-9 months backed up but you can search around your area for a local fab guy to do yours.
Where could I get myself a down pipe like that?
This one is custom made and won’t be another one like it. You can try a local fabricator or purchase one from imr America
would you make another set for sale?
No but I’m sure someone will be developing for sale soon
I'm looking to get cai and downpipe and getting a bigger throttle body. I have no idea where to look as this car still has no Vin verification online and nobody knows anything. Call a shop for rims and tires and they like "oh you can go down to 17s... " smh
Yeah 17” Deff won’t fit, smallest you can go is 19” the throttle body can be found powerrevracing.com there’s no off shelf cai or downpipe but prl should have something shortly
Sounds so good man 👍💪
Thank you 🙏🏻
Did changing the downpipe throw any codes ?
No but I did install a defouler to prevent that from happening
Hey I get my type s next week where can I get the downpipe at I live in New Jersey exit 105
Have to get one made at your local fab shop. My guy won’t do it due to nature of the job unfortunately believe me I tried convincing him lol
Dag okay thank you what about the charge pipe to throttle body
@@B58BLACKPANTHER-me6qn P2r racing has one available on their website also Plr is working on a full charge pipe kit which will include that but no eta
Are there 2 cats? Or just the one up by the turbo? It looked as if there is a second one further down the exhaust but I'm not 100%
One primary cat right off turbo then a secondary cat/resonator after that
Hey! I was wondering if you could help me with the turbo flange. If you could email me I would really appreciate it.
@@klobnitronesk5349 used the flange off my oem downpipe
Thanks! Was trying to have both but I will probably sacrifice it
@@klobnitronesk5349 yeah I didn’t want to have to car out for 1-2 weeks potentially more with all the shortages going around
About time somebody doing something about it ...Jersey in the building..Car has a 💩 load of potential...
Lmao yeah man. It’s only 15 psi which is the great part, means there’s tons of room to make power
