A modest power gain and a little bit more throaty exhaust note. Nothing over the top. Can someone make a tune for this car? :-)
ATLP J-pipe and post-cat (third cat) delete. Mandrel bent tubing, efficient collector design. The only performance modification I know of available in the U.S. for the 2007-2009 Acura MDX with 3.7 litre J series motor. Check out all my videos: www.youtube.co...

WOW! How creative is that, that you showed us on the model? Awesome.
By far the best install video I've seen. Huge props to you!
UrsaMajor Thanks!
I love how there were tips in the bottom left throughout the video! Super helpful dude
I'd get a Custom 3inch Exhaust piping that way you get more air flow and with the J-Pipe huge difference you will see
2.5" outlet, to that expensive jpipe..
Great video. You left me with absolutely not a single question unanswered!!
Where was the part sourced from? Any appreciable weight difference without the resonator and heat shield? Did your trip computer indicate any improvement in economy afterward? Thanks for a great video!
Excellent video !! Love your tools ! Much respect for your skills
Thanks!
This is fantastic. Thank you so much for this. Would love to keep update on all your mdx videos
Did you have any appreciable change in MPG?? I have a Honda Crosstour with the 3.5. She loves to run and she loves her gas at about 15MPG city. You seem like the kind of guy who'd keep track of fuel economy if for no other reason than the overall health of the car. Great Vid BTW
David Greyeyes No change in MPG that I can tell... I have a lead foot so I don't really keep track of MPG other than I know that it's bad, because of how I drive the car.
Me too!!! Thanks!
Thats a good detail DIY good job.
I have a tl and looking to do my j pipe that helps!
Thanks for watching and good luck. This job is much easier with air tools. You'll get a workout if you just use hand tools.
Just have to say great job on the video very useful information and great editing
Whoa crazy we live in the same town of bothell! Great video I'll be doing the same to my mdx!
I would like to do this to my Honda odyssey
Great video. Funny, when you took it for a test drive I realized "hey I know that area". I drive to work through your neighborhood almost daily. :-)
Wow, cool - what are the chances of that.
Pretty small, I recently bought an Acura TL and was looking for exhaust updates and viola found your video. Cool beans.
Great video, very informative and detailed! Thanks!
Good video! IMHO, besides all new gaskets, replacing all exhaust flange nuts and bolts is usually a good idea.
Even without a lift nice job
Very informative and easy to follow video! Nice job Kurt! :) 👍
Wish that Jpipe was a 3" outlet tho.
(Edit: Could cut that end off, run the two 2.25" pipes down for true dual 👍🏼😂 even tho there isn't 400hp. Good video and review)
really great video with great angles! thanks for the upload!
Thong Nguyen Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Very nice DIY video very clean job.
Nice video. Clear and concise. the little tips were nice too.
every time I need sth always route me back here. lol Thanks!
Removing the post cat didn’t cause the cat to throw any codes?
Was there any noticable vibration at the car floor/pedals when installing this Jpipe? Im asking because I recently installed this on my Acura TL and I noticed a good amount of vibration on the cabin floor and pedals when driving and at idle.
I had similar amount of vibration.
Need to put washers on
What is that tool you use in the beginning Looks like a automatic impact driver, but narrow and skinny, with a battery (at the 2:14 mark)
electric ratchet. the best one ive bought is the matco one which is the same as the Milwaukee brand from home depot.
I have an 03 MDX. Do they make a Jpipe for that?
I heard that a tune would work well with this particular mod, preferably k- tuner for Acura
It would be the next Mod
Based on the amount of steering wheel movement, I think you may need a little toe-in on the front end.
Great tutorial vid...
Why was the dash backlighting strobing like that? lol
Add a k and n air filter
Already did...
Mod MINI any difference? I’ve had kn filters before and noticed nothing.
Did that throw off any of the O2 sensor.?
No O2 sensor codes thrown. The O2 sensors are all upstream from the J-Pipe.
Isnt there an O2 Sensor (downstream) behind the rear cat to check for efficiency of BANK1? Did you use an O2 simulator for this one?
Hans Owens The stock J-pipe contains only the secondary cat which is not checked for efficiency by any O2 sensor. There is no O2 sensor after the J-pipe. Everything works fine with existing O2 sensors and no codes.
Did you notice any smell of gas, exhaust fumes, or oil due to the removal of the post cat? Did the vehicle burn any extra oil?
None of those things. Changing an exhaust component would never cause it to burn more or less oil.
Awesome! thanks for the upload
Question, does the 07 to 10 MDX model burns a lot of fuel? because mine i figure it kills 93gas, is there anyway i can get beter gas miles on city, thanks!
Shaun Martinez Yeah, it's kind of a gas hog... But so are most other vehicles in the same size and power range.
Thanks bro! Still love MDX its very nice driving it,
I have a 2010, Try to keep your rpm below 2000 around town.
Maybe hearing protection would be a good idea especially when working with air tools?
What? I can't hear you!
Thank so much for your nice details video
Great vid.
Do they make one of these performance exhaust pipes for a 2008 Honda Pilot?
What is that part called where you touch it @ 1:31 right after the pipe ends?
Thanks for sharing
Don't u get a check engine light on after ?
I want to remove the j pipe from my 08 TL. I have heard that these can get rusted. You said penetrating oil can help and I will definitely use that. I'm concerned that I may snap off a stud or break bolt. Any suggestions in addition to penetrating oil? Is impact wrench better than breaker bar to avoid possible breakage?
Daniel Kim pb blaster. You can also use acetone and transmission fluid to make a great penetrating fluid.
unfortunately the J Pipe Downpipes are no longer in the market. I can't find anything for these mdx other than an intake.
I am getting RV6 Long Tube Jpipe for my 09 MDX. That's your next best way to go.
Did you have the P0420 (cat code) code pop up after the change
Anyone know if this would pass smog in califonria?
Awesome little car !!
Good job!
Great vid
with a performance muffler this mod would be much better there is still to much in the way to feel a difference
How can I remove the 02 sensor?
great vid
Does removing the catalic converter and replace it with the j pipe cause your check engine light to come on because I wanted to do this mod for my 2012 TL reason for asking is because I have straight pipe from the 😺 catalic converter to quads tip's no mid resonator and no muffler except the one at the y pipe still let me know crazy 😧 content 🤣
It did not but it offered basically no performance gain and just introduced NVH so I ended up taking it off
@@ModMINIno gains because you installed a jpipe onto stock restrictive pipe and restrictive mufflers
Would this J pipe fit an 06 model mdx?
Upgrade the rest of the system! Thanks
So, no catalytic converter. Isn't that illegal?
There is catalytic converter. There is a main cat and a post cat. The O2 sensors and state emissions measure emissions after the main cat but not after the post cat. Removing the post cat will not cause car to fail emissions.
So you don’t have a catalytic converter anymore? Any codes come up
This is post-cat only. Precats not disturbed.
Will that make check engine light come on?
No there's a pre cat in the front with the sensor the 3rd one doesn't have the sensor so no check engine light
nice job!
Can you update the link? Trying to find for my 2010 but nothings coming up
It is probable that they don't make them anymore.
did they stop making them for the 2008 mdx?
You'd need to ask Heeltoe.
You think I could make this work on a 2003 Honda Pilot?
Check with seller
will this fit a ZDX?
Is this emissions legal?
Any check engine light issues or emissions issues?
Nope
Any droning on the highway at steady RPMs?
+Nicholas P DiNatale I don't recall that being a problem, but there was a bit more vibration at idle in P with the AC on.
What website did you get the J pipe? and what name brand?
RV6 J Pipe just search that in google
is it going to be same procedure for tl type s ?
Probably, subframe/crossmembers might be little different
@@ModMINI thanks
I wish u were my neighbor
Do they have a exhaust for this acura
I am not sure. . .
Ya, guess you don't live in New England around here their rotted away
Will this fit the 2010 MDX?
Should but check with the seller.
So do all acuras and hondas with the 3.5 have a stock j-pipe?
Yup, that is the definition of 'stock'...
***** i actually have a 2012 acura tl 3.7 its about the same engine i think but bored out. Im trying to get an idea what exhaust i want and wondering if it would be cheaper just to get it straight piped. Then some say it would be too "droney" on highway, but doesnt a j-pipe like the one u installed cancel drone?
@@acuramattb4525 07-09 MDX engine is slightly different than 10-13 (higher compression pistons, Nikasil cylinder liners, etc), but the cylinder bore is the same. The J pipe doesn't cancel out drone, the resonators do that. The long-tube J pipe frees up the exhaust flow, but to see a significant increase in output, you'd need HFPCs that don't trip o2 sensors, and less restrictive exhaust components past the J pipe. With my '12, the plan is a single 3" instead of dual 2.125" (same internal volume) with a serious resonated test pipe to cancel drone, and single straight-thru muffler for tone (GReddy Revolution RS or ISR). The factory J pipe is incredibly restrictive, so it's the first thing to do, but with factory pre-cats, resonators, and mufflers, there are still bottlenecks in the exhaust, just not as severe as the stock J pipe.
@@acuramattb4525 Sorry, I missed the part about yours being a TL. The MDX is a J37A1, your TL is a J37A4. Bore and stroke are the same, as is the compression ratio as 10-13 MDX, but the TL has a different throttle body and intake, so output is a bit higher. But the block itself is the same.
The type-S and A-Spec middles might have a more performance oriented setup
Reset the ecu
Remove cat. And you will feel difrents and sound, air filter intake, i did to my TL 3.2 big difrents, nice sound, not like 350z, but nice smoth, vtech kicks in hard wiht the air filter! Great combination, removing cat, will turn on cheak light, just saying
This setup removes the post-cat but I can't remove the main cats as it will fail emissions inspection. Definitely though, if the cats are gone the car will have more power and make more sound. I did put in a K&N panel filter. Didn't make much difference. Need to go to a cone or foam cylinder.
Oh ok! Well am from florida, in clearwater FL i herd of a shop that will make you the hole exhuts and will put the right muflers on it, giving a good setup, for my TL it would be like 900.00 costum made! Staley steel, but for the sound i wanted, to much money, it would give me more horse power, but cant wast that amuot of cash,
***** Look for a good cold air intake. My TL Type-S has a short ram and she growls!
+phillyguerrilla Go to Amazon and put this in... aFe TR-1007B Takeda Cold Air Intake System for Honda Accord/Acura TL
Not worth it!
Which one you get?
