Yes sir! Also what are your thoughts about the downpipe not using the factory support that bolts to the trans? The next support in the system is the hanger after the secondary pipe. Do you think that too much weight/stress for the turbo flange?
@BCautosolutions Жыл бұрын
@@ryanshalley7327 I think it’ll be fine. The aftermarket unit is much light vs the oem cat/secondary pipe/ secondary cat. Mine has been ok for about 13k miles now. The turbo should have ample supporting brackets imo.

Could those flexible heat shields be replaced with some header wrap directly on the pipe? The turbo seems to have its own separate heat shields.
@BCautosolutions Жыл бұрын
Header wrap or ceramic coating. I would keep as many shields as possible

Use all new gaskets where possible. The cat(s) are deleted, there’s going to be a noticeable smell difference.

love the videos..I have a 22 tlx type s.. it was stolen a few weeks ago and now I'm looking into installing some more security features..I was able to get it back using the Acura Link app .. I think they might've did relay theft and used the obd port to reprogram a new key.. is there anything you recommend so this won't happen again? can't have nothing nice in ny 😢

Sheesh that’s horrible but your not the first one and surely won’t be the last. I would get a wheel boot (keep them from driving it), and a brake pedal stop. With enough motivation they can still take the car but anything that can slow them down is a win in my book. Best of luck and thanks for the support!
