I feel ya brother mines fresh out the lot just under 80k miles 😤

@@saqu3197 lucky to find that low but with these cars mileage don’t start to really matter til after 300k.

@@ricoflamma5430 with proper care and maintenance yessir them j series at the time are very nice to upkeep and drive for a long time , personally would worry more about other components like suspension

I want to buy 😫 one to how much did you pay.

@@Lyrics-fo2ko 5k, I already changed the headlight & put coilovers on but I love it

Thank you!!

Glad I could help brotha!!! 🙏🏾

Glad I could help!

I’m ordering the same thing for mine soon 😅

I almost took my resonators off cause it’s too mellow with tsudo cat back downpipe and third cat delete. I have the PCD but they canceled my appointment to get them installed cause they started cracking down at the same time ha. This video got me thinking to leave the resonator on and install PCD’s and see how it sounds. I want it to be a lot louder

I appreciate your support! And that’s a dope idea! May have to look into that ASAP 🙏🏾

@@BrotherlyReviewshey would a hondata flash pro, work as the tune? or would i need to take it to the dyno?

@victorc.6801 hondata flashpro is for tuning. You can do dyno tuning with it also.

Appreciate you! 🙌🏾 my best friend lives in Houston also. I never want to come back till Florida whenever I go there 😅

What clutch kit did you go with? I went with clutchmasters fx250. Worst decision. Didn’t even get 10k miles out of it.

Appreciate you 🙏🏾🤞🏾

You’re welcome! Thanks for the support 🙏🏾

You should! They’re still great cars even with the automatic. At least with the type-s you get paddle shifters, which are fun. I also owned an auto type s in the past.

@@BrotherlyReviews Great to hear. Though gas prices have been hefty lately over here in South Florida. Should you recommend I stay completely on 93 octane or 91?

You can do 91, if it’s available. You won’t need 93 unless you’re tuned specifically for it, like I am.

Not even sure. Just some non-copyright music you can download from KZfaq lol

It’s a custom tow hook. I don’t have it anymore. It broke 👎🏾

Honestly don’t like how many features it lacks vs the Advance trim. Plus I can’t justify spending 60k on an Acura (after I add all the options I’d want).

how did you get one and what state, i’m trying to get one for myself but it’s really hard

@@cm5_tech I'm in Colorado. I only seem like 12 on the national car sale sites and 8K was the lowest and that had over 200k miles

Yes it’ll definitely work! Just make sure you relocate the air sensor to the cold air intake and you’re good to go!

Yeah the original interior color was ivory (beige)

Are you wanting a remote tuner, or dyno tuner?

Great list! I had a clutchmater kit at one point. The fx250. Didn’t even last 10k miles 👎🏾 switched back to LUK.

which pulley, crank or alternator?

Crank pulley

Get one of the brand names I mentioned in the video. Don’t go for a cheap eBay knockoff brand. Trust me. I know the legit ones are in the hundreds but believe me when I tell you they do make a difference during low rpm acceleration.

Floor mats from eBay Seat covers from EndlessRPM.com

I’d probably still stick with PCDs, since they offer the most performance (from what I understand), vs hfpc is mainly for states that require emission inspections. We don’t have inspections here in Florida.

@@BrotherlyReviews ah gotcha. Thx for responding bro, take care

Cold air intake is much better. Honda J engines don’t have headers. Pre-cat deletes, j-pipe, full cat-back exhaust, and port and polishing the intake runners and throttle body with a tune will definitely increase the performance.

@@BrotherlyReviews uhmmmm..bro..I have a 2001..lol they have headers

@@BrotherlyReviews but ok I appreciate the advice thanks

Maybe yours does then. The 04+ doesn’t.

@@BrotherlyReviews yea my boy just told me that the newer ones don't have them...lucky man you car makes amazing power I have to do a few things to make this fast your car looks fantastic to the 04-08 is my favorite year I call them the square bodies lol ..well take care man and thanks again

I had the same until I upgraded to the AEM V2. Night and day difference off the line. Something to consider.

18x10.5 +15. Too aggressive for my liking lol if I get them again it’ll be 18x9.5 +22

Not everybody is into lowering the car or going fast with it. Mainly just mentioned the basic tasteful upgrades for a fun and reliable daily driver.

That’s not a mod. That’s a requirement 😂😂😂 but yeah those headlights are done for. Time for new ones.

eBay

@@BrotherlyReviews could I get a link

I bought them so long ago it doesn’t show in my history anymore. I had just looked up 08 TL floormats.

Best I would get around town was about 17-19. Highway about 26.

Get smaller wheels. I bet you will notice a difference.

I got 18x9.5 ×35mm rims (super light even with tires) theres a lot of suspension work that needs to be done (coilovers which I got tien street z for 400$) but I need front upper camber kit and rear upper camber kit.. now I'm worried about the toe. As I sew 3 different pieces for each rear wheel for toe arm adjustments. Are the adjustable rear toe arms a must? Or should I just take it to an alignment shop to see if there's even an issue? I've definitely noticed replacing coilovers is a task... especially when having to purchase camber kits.

It was a gift, so I’m not sure

It’s factory

Had 194k

If you have the time and the money, rebuild it for extra assurance. But if you have records of the engine being maintained properly, you should be fine. Just make sure you get it tuned as you add more performance parts.

Can’t tune an 06 unless you have a type s or 6-speed ecu

@@BrotherlyReviews shit okay, would my car engine blow without any cats? i have no mufflers no resonators or the third cat rn and i want to delete the primary cats

No it won’t. You’ll just need to find a way to remove the error code from the ecu

@@BrotherlyReviews awesome, thank you bro

Preference but not a Top5 in my opinion. The throttlebody from the 3.7 L engine is usually the upgrade most people do.

Those too, but not as common as the mods I mentioned, since not everyone buys these cars to “go fast”

That’s what I used for a while too, but aem definitely woke it up

Thank you 🙏🏾 And you can tune it, but it’s not gonna do much of anything without modifications

No it’s my weekend car. I daily my Ford Fusion. Is yours an auto or 6mt?

@@BrotherlyReviews 6mt

You should be able to tune it then.

@@BrotherlyReviews bet appreciate. Once I tune it it’s going to run better?

What are you referring to, the carbon fiber on the interior?

@@BrotherlyReviews yes.

High 200s. Most I’ve seen is 298.

It comes with 270 stock

No sir. 258. Type s is 286.

@@BrotherlyReviews 2004 tl come with 270 hp with the 3.2 vtec

That’s not the true horsepower. SAE was rating the horsepower numbers incorrectly for the first two years. It was corrected in 2006. If you look up the 0-60 and 1/4 miles times for an 04 and 06, they’re the same.

I believe you can with the 07-08 ecu upgrade, from what I’ve read in the past

Is it plug an play

As far as I know yes, but you’ll need an adapter for it

@@BrotherlyReviews what about a 08 tls auto?

Yes you can tune those.

I have remote start with push button ignition

No idea. Haven’t dyno’d it yet

@@BrotherlyReviews when you gonna get a dyno?

Whenever I make the time to do so

Cos it’s just for sound. No performance.

Is that your Subaru in your profile picture?? That’s one of my favorite cars of all time 😍 But yes, definitely need to get rid of the rasp. I found a resonator to get rid of it
