Yes I’d highly recommend you throwing in a high flow resonator to smooth out the raspy sound in the higher RPMS. Any time I do a catless exhaust system I always put install a res, sometimes two depending on what it takes to clear out that raspy sound all threw the rpm range.

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.
Hey brother, hope you're doing well and this message reaches you. I know you don't have your TL anymore but if u were to do it all over again TODAY, would u go with the RV6 PCD's or the RV6 HFPC's? Im doing a ton of research on the forums and asking my car buddies and I'm leaning toward the HFPC's. Your thoughts?
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.
It is, but you’ll only gain a benefit from it by adding a heat shield to block it away from the engine, as the engine generates a lot of heat. You can also heat wrap the intake pipe itself to add some extra cooling.

Hey man I have an 2001 Acura tl non type s ofcourse and I was wondering what the best bang for buck mods are...would a lightweight pulley and header help?

I'd appreciate the advice but yea man should I do the lightweight pulleys and headers ?
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.

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?
