Tlx types s cold start w/ down pipes and secondary cat delete.
Met you in a gas station you were driving your truck. I have the m MDX the same color.
Nice 😂
Love, what Acura/Honda are doing with there vehicles. I love Nissan, but this Acura is sweet. Im in love with Nax Gen1, but if there was a duel, between Nsx vs NissanR34VSpec2, Would be hard, but id pick R34.
NSX Gen 1***
I would too bro
Sick rollers but you hear more of the m340 than your car 😂
Lmao 🤣
Do a muffler delete too bro🔥
Where is the location of who did the downpipe for you?
Automotive perspective. He’s located in Hollywood by the hard rock stadium.
Nice wheels, what brand?. My '23 has the multi spoke factory wheels that I like more than the Y spoke wheels
Kansie Astros 19x9.5 +35 275/35/19
I had the regular stock 20s. I sold them. Didn’t care too much for the performance 20s. Since I was gonna swap them out.
Was it trying
I think there besides the wheels it was stock
So slow
Sounds absolutely incredible man. What did you have to do to hear the turbo like that
Props from SLIC:3311
Lmfao my car journey went the Same way but never had a lexus
It needs a resonator, just a touch ricey and not a great idea to Rev a cold engine... but if this is your preferred sound well done
W car, but service is… slightly sketchy for Acuras lol
Wish you video’d more after shots
I got a 23 tlx type s and I wanna add a few modes and wanna add a down pipe to it but I’m confused of which options to get the downpipe from IMR and was wondering if you can help to explain it.
Bro I went fully catless. Going fully catless on the primary downpipe I got a check engine light. So I had to buy the catt thingy for the o2 sensor. My secondary downpipe is basically just a pipe.
Man that exhaust sounds vicious, I just put on flowmaster super 10s on a functionwerk exhaust paired with high flow catts & man the sound unbelievable, but I'd like to know what is your setup
Imr catless primary downpipe. Atlp catless secondary downpipe Stage 1 Prl intake
@@TypeS_Rafa Ok Thx
Is this car reliable for a daily driver?
Yes, I haven’t had any real issues with mine that I can blame the factory on. It’s just more maintenance than say if u got something 2 wheel drive.
Make more man🤘🏾
i drove to Connecticut to see IMR and i got the same setup this type s got for my 2024 tlx type s and i have to share this guys ya better check them out they got some good work and they very professional . and the result are absolutely amazing the sound is amazing . thank you imr 💪
Thanks for sharing
your welcome bro
Car looks great
Thank you
Honda isn’t known for the best drivetrains. Long history of issues.
I’m finding that out the hard way
I just got an aspec and man i wish id have gotten a type s 😅
Same 😢
You’ll be fine it’s still a great car
Took my 23 tiger eye yesterday for a 15 min run. If anyone talks crap to you out there blame me😅
Lmao…. Unless our cars have the same exact mods I doubt that.
IS500 is the laziest Lexus "project" to date. Yes that V8 is masterpiece but you are paying just for that and possible future collectible. Aftermarket seems limited; the Interior is old asf; outside is just like a 350; and the transmission is holding that car performance big time.
Agreed they just took the base model threw a bigger engine and called it a day.
I agree with u
Sounds horrible.
I have just began dipping my toe in the tuner community and i bought a tlx s to begin that journey, and maybe this is a dumb question, but the wheels like that isnt that more for drag cars type look? Also what did you do to make it sound like that??? Because idc if your in northern Canada thats the exhaust for me. Any of these mods are able to be reset back to factory if uou have to deal with a warranty issue. Sorry last question do you have a cold air intake and if so what enhancements did you see with it?
Yes it’s a drag car look. It’s just for looks with this car. It being all wheel drive. Exhaust wise all I have is a primary downpipe and secondary cat delete. I’m in Florida. I don’t have a cold air intake I just have a drop in filter. I’m pretty sure it make a bit more power but not something u can feel with that drop in filter that I have from Prl.
Man the color combo on seats was fine and chubby giver.
Absolutely insane brother 🔥
Powder coat the rims and it wont look so bad but dope car otherwise
Black?
I’m between this car and a Lexus is350. How’s the power on this car?
More than an is350 for sure. This is definitely much more of a comfortable car. All wheel drive in this is pretty fun. But nothing compares to rear wheel drive. IMO. Get the one u like the most
Where can I get coilovers for mdx type s?
I wish I knew. If though about hitting up bc racing to see if they’ll make me a custom set for my mdx Aspec.
What exhausts setup do u use
IMR primary down pipe. ATLP secondary cat delete( non catted ). That’s it
What are all mods you have done on it is there a way I can dm you about the car
I have a video up with all the mods. Ig type_s_rafael.
I like the type s but when has Acura ever made a reliable v6 lol fuck all that give me the 4 cylinder with a turbo. If I got v6 I’m going m340 sounds and goes faster
Unfortunately I have to agree with u. I’m surrounded by b58s
Ii feel like the Q50 red 400 slightly move better. Am I wrong?
That depends on who u ask. I have the new kid on the block. Q50-60 are pretty dated platforms though quick. It’s a mixed bag
Bro i love the car but i did my research and man it has too many issues. Mirror puddle lights go out fast. Warping of the rotors. Wheel hub bearings. Aftermarket for parts are very minimal. I mean its amazing but ehh. But ya. The new 2024 has the digital cluster which i dislike. But man maybe one day we can meet up. Im in South Florida (Miami). I work for the competition 😂 postal 😂
Yeah bro… let’s do it. Hit me up on IG. So mirror puddle light… don’t really care those should be replaced under warranty. Same thing with the rotors. Mines haven’t warped I drive my car hard. I’ll look into the wheel hub bearings. I know that there is something going on with the transmission and the transfer case. Remember this is a new platform it’s bound to have some issues
This engine sounds so good. Specially when driving fast and shifting. Those shifts are so crisp
Couldn't agree more!
@@TypeS_Rafa I had a 23 TLX Type S, but I swapped it for a 22 IS350 F sport. I just got disappointed when I found out, it had direct injection only.
Yeah bro just something else we’ll need to deal with down the line.
Don't you have to have a tune if you mess with a cat on turbo cars?
You should if u want to optimize for all the power that not having a cat bring
That sounds like shite.
Lol
For sure the type s is a better choice over the is500. 10k cheaper, more features, and it’s a full size sedan.
I miss the dragon 🐉 good times
I’m going back
The gear shift tho 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Seems like axles and transmissions are the weak points in these that break. Luckily you didn’t break the transmissions or transfer case. There’s a reason why Acura won’t let them rev past 6k. They know they will break. These are not built as strong as the older ones. This is why most are going to German cars. They are built for abuse and longevity. Times have changed.
I agree if I leave this brand it would probably be an m3
@@TypeS_Rafa That’s a great car. Another great car is Audi RS5 comp. Those two are amazing.
The mechanic I have specializes in bmws. Even I’ve grown to become familiar with them. If I ever make lat leap it needs to be a manual.
I think that this is a better car than the Integra Type S.
I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. The integra type s is more of a pure sports sedan. I wish my car had a manual.
Coilovers? What's tire and wheel specs
Yes sir bc racing coilovers. 19x9.5 + 35 all 4 275/35/19 all 4
Love the throttle sound, not really digging idle, even if it is a cold start. Just my opinion though.. its still a sweet car!
Thanks 😎
Why would you replace it with a used part? $ 180 for a used axle, smh ? If you're gonna beat on it, replace it with new parts or upgraded parts not used parts from the junkyard. If you wanna play, then u gotta pay ! I own a 2023 Acura TLX TYPE S Apex blue, red interior, and sport wheel package.. I don't beat on it
So let’s start at the top. This is my daily car too. I use this thing for everything. While I do agree that upgrading it or buying a new one would have been a better option. I needed a quick fix. They don’t make upgraded axles for our cars and new one from my dealer was 1 week out. The car being down it would have got very expensive quick between a rental paying a dealer waiting on parts. It’s like plugging a tire vs buying a new one….. it didn’t make sense. That is a nice color combo u got there. I bought this car to enjoy it and push it to its limits which are clearly not very high. Take it to a local auto cross and give it a little push u and the car might like it
Keep it up!
That's the plan!
You’re lucky it wasn’t the front transfer case. That’s what I did. Launched it and stripped the splines. Needed a new trans and transfer case. The car is built weak.
Damn!!!! I believe u. Dealer covered it?
How do u realize it was that? What was the car doing
These are not performance cars. Acura dialed these back so you can’t modify them faster. Thats why they don’t let them rev past 6k. My friend has one and blew the trans first three months. Luckily dealer replaced it, but they gave him a hard time. He traded it in after they fixed it. It’s a great daily car. Just don’t beat on it and expect it to be reliable. Acura cut back on quality parts due to inflation. German cars is where it’s at for true performance and longevity. Times have changed a lot.
Unfortunately I agree with u there.
Im looking for a japanese daily for city driving, do you miss is350 more or tlx aspec?
My is350 was a lot of fun to drive but it’s very dated on the inside. Last I checked an equally equipped is350 compared to basically a fully loaded Aspec is about 7k more expensive. My Aspec was front wheel drive. It was ok decently fun to drive. If it was sh-awd it would have probably been better. It doesn’t snow in Miami and I originally got that car for my girlfriend.
You can’t go wrong with either I would probably say tlx because it has more space newer interior and a better value. But get sh-awd. Looks wise they’re both beautiful cars.
the way it sounds when it drops to idle is insane
