- In this episode of this series, we want to introduce our new project 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec in Apex Blue Pearl, seeking for some performance and cosmetic enhancements.
First we will start with getting some baseline horsepower number in dyno, then we jumped right into installing a prototype performance Downpipe from RV6. Watch us from start to finish on the video.
As always, tips and tricks come standard on every episode.

Love this channel this is wanting me to save my penny's for mdx type s in summer. Good video new york need you asap
Thanks for your support
Wow those are some healthy numbers for a stock car . I can't wait to see the new numbers ! See you on the next one
See you then!
such a sweet build so excited to see more with this car! hope you guys do a type s soon!
We will certainly build a Type-S
Does it amplify the sound of the engine?
Love the video! Do you mind explaining more specifically how to get the car into the dyno mode? Thanks!
Because of your video I ended up ordering one in white. I’m about to do the same. Thank you
Awesome car! Can’t wait for the built vidrios!!
Thank you
That blue is so gorgeous!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes!!!
The most perfect blue on a car that I have ever seen 😍 😍 I must own.
Cheers!
Beautiful deep bright blue i like it too
Totally agree!!😍
Best color in a car ever. The engine bay looks really similar to my 21 accord 2.0t. Think Honda shared a fair bit between the to. Awesome car man, thanks for sharing!
Yes, powertrain looks very similar. Thanks for watching
🔥 🔥 content cant wait to see the result of rv6 downpipe .
In future would you guys do acura TL AWD SH AWD build and dyno results 🤔
Adore this channel. New favorite. Keep it up.
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Wow, that looks great!! Looks like it came factory with it!!
It does!
Can’t wait for episode 2!
czcams.com/video/oXDGgsze8YI/video.html
Love the videos!
Keep these videos coming! Aloha
Thanks for watching
Nice bracelet! Love this channel!
Thank you so much!
Love RV6 products.
Had their products on my 16 Accord V6 and 19 Accord 2.0T
That's awesome
Nice clean install. 👍
Thanks 🙏🏼
This is awesome 👍🏻 Acura
Thanks a lot 😊
Could u do a video on how to install a blow off valve on the 2021 tlx aspec!! I wanna throw one on but I don’t really know how
Just got a 21 TLX Aspec. Do you guys mind sharing the link to the k&n filter installed?
Acura need to redesign those wheels .
We have new wheels for this project
I wish acura had the same bolt pattern as bmw.id love to put the 2019 m3 wheels on my car
Picked up a set of FK8 wheels for ours 👍
Great content!!
Thank you
Are u going to do a quartermile baseline time after each mod
Love your show guys... When can we see a gen 4 or 5 Prelude on here my friends??? BTW i noticed on the First pull it said 238 HP & 258 lb. ft on the Dyno (not 254 lb. ft)
Prelude is on our to-do list. We love 4-5th Gen prelude too
I remember the final Accord V6 Earth Dreams J35 on the Dynojet made about 249whp I know there are different variables and all
Tools is key for no headaches
Agreed!!
Awesome guys...any information on Hondata flash pro for 2018 Ridgeline pickup truck? And possibly Turbo charger...I wish you would do that project
Should look into K-Tuner
@@ahcgarage awesome thanks, will you guys consider a Ridgeline pickup truck build maybe a lowered street beast and a more offroad capable one, may bisimoto collaboration?
Nice color 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, did y'all used the bottom gasket provided by RV6 ?
Nice! I miss my 07 Type-S and want one of these new Acura’s but at the same time I want a Lexus GSF. See which one I go with when time comes.
This Aspec starts off at $45-47k plus tax you're looking at almost $50k a 4-cyl turbo.
@@ifearedfate9787 ima go with the GSF. Still got 2-3 years I’ll get a 2019-20. The good thing is most people don’t use them as daily drivers and are well taken care of. I should have kept my Type-S I regret selling it.
@@user-zt6bt8dp2c I’ve heavily debated selling my 2008 type s manual (original owner) for a gsf. Bad move?
TL-S is a keeper
@@sockerballer100 man it’s been over a year and still miss my Type-S lol. But I didn’t buy myself another car bought the wife a Tahoe. Maybe if I bought a GSF I’d feel different but I’d keep it and save up for the GSF see if you wanna sell it after.
Hey is the downpipe catted or catless? I see that rv6 has a regular downpipe.. doesn't say catted or catless on it so i'm a bit lost
Are there any other downpipes on the market for this application that you recommend over this one?
Is the rv6 DP really a prototype or is it the exact one for the 18+ 2.0L for the accords? Just wondering. Great vid on the install! Keep them coming.
We are not sure
Just wondering if you had any issues with.the rv6 catted downpipe? Did the check engine light come on? And will it pass emissions? I wanted to add this to my car but worried about those issues.
No issue with the catted downpipe, No CEL. Florida is a no emission state, and we never test it. I assume it should pass since quite a bit of folks have installed them and they are from emission states.
Teeter Joesph! Bwahahaha! Need another AHC meet in Pines.
Coming soon Josh!!
im trying to do mine rn too, the nuts are so tight lol, and for the bottom of the down pipe mine has a bar across it
So when the Type S come out please do video changing the down pipe. Still like to see the results after the upgrade.
👍🏼👍🏼
Lets Go!
👍🏼👍🏼
Will this work on 2020 tlx 2.4
Did you throw a cel? I had a rv6 down pipe for my 17 accord and they said the cel would come on even with the defouler and I wasn't comfortable with a cel on a 17 accord with not even 40k mi on it. So I sold it before install.
No CEL
I have a 21 Tlx A-Spec, let's say I am interested in getting this installed. Would you guys be able to install it? Of course, with a certain charge for installation.
Sure thing
Can you make a video on installing a blow off valve? On the 2021 TLX aspec??
You should not try to put a BOV on these cars, does more harm than good
Do you know when the Type-S will be available at dealers? Nice video!
september is what i hear.
In May
Curious to see how it stacks up against the sleeper 2.0T Accord
Will be a close one
Does this void warranty
What Upgrade Intercooler fits in the 2021 TLX?
We are not sure
Does anybody know any exhaust system for the Acura 2.0L i’m thinking to buy one
Will be interesting to see how much increase in BHP you can get out of that engine, love the colour of the car so I got some Apex Blue base for a project I'm doing but it's not the same colour 😱 do you have a code for this colour? this is what I have HONDA APEX BLUE,P,2C (B-554P,B554P) any help would be appreciated. John UK.
Thanks for watching. The new Apex Blue Pearl is B-621P
Ok thanks for that Mike, I'll see if I can find it 🙏🙏👍
Would love to see a brake upgrade. Brembros on the type-s should transfer over.
Agreed!
Following
Not sure if the bigger brakes from the type S would clear the factory wheels but should be able to slap on the type S wheels and brakes if possible and do an alignment
Hi, this would avoid the warranty for my a spec 22
What were the final numbers? I didn’t hear them on episode 2 :(
We are still working on some additional dyno pulls. Video should be up in the coming weeks
Type s i can’t wait 😁
Yes!!!
What do you think?!...march hopefully?
April/May
I’d be more excited if it wasn’t going to weight over 4000 pounds
Omg why is the stock curve soo shaky?
With all the rules/regs in California, would this still make it street legal? (not sure if its a dumb question, just starting to get into the idea of modding a car)
Not quite sure, since it’s a prototype
Nothing beats a 3rd gen TLS 6MT
Right on!!
Love the color, but the 3rd Gen TL y'all work on is still my favorite TL
Right on!!
The red color is nice to
Cheers!!
The 2.0liter accord is getting the same numbers by being down 20hp, I think honda is down playing the accord 2.0liter 252hp compared to this car 272hp
Where are you guys located ?
You bastards got me all excited and then “For our next video...” 😆😆😆 SUBBED.
Roll call: 2009 TSX 6MT Holla! 👊🏾🧔🏾
Ha! Thanks for watching.
Air/fuel sensor #1 was hand tighten yo
How is It 2 wheel drive? The Aspec comes in AWD
A-spec comes FWD and SH-AWD. Only the Type-S is exclusively in SH-AWD
When is the exhaust coming? 😳
In the works
No before and after exhaust tone?
We will have that on the upcoming episode
I wonder if i can get this done on my lease?? lol
Are you guys gonna try the KTuner or the JB4 Tunes??
8-10% gain. 262whp 265wtrq
Did you guys dyno the car after the downpipe install? What were the #s?
We are still working on some additional dyno pull numbers
Great stuff Mike. Love your channel, can't wait to see the dyno results of just the downpipe install.
#RV6ceaseanddesist
Will that pass smog here in California?
Since this is a prototype, we don’t have technical infos on this product yet
Was there ever a follow up video to see the new dyno output numbers?
We wanted to put out true and relevant information, so we are doing multiple dyno sessions with additional add-on. It’s obviously taken a bit longer than we anticipated but it will be worth the wait
Awesomesauce. Thanks!
Great, been waiting for this since I have a 2020 RDX with the same engine and have an RV-6 catted downpipe waiting to go in!
@@ahcgarage are you using a Ktuner for your tuning?
What state are you doing this in id do this but has to be carb compliant
We are in Florida, no emission test. We are only doing it for testing purposes
Okay im in ny so i cant have too much fun .i have an 07 accord and i really wanted that rv6 downpipe .love that acura tlx keep up the good job
Thank you
Tool list my friend hit us back with the tool list.
How many miles are on it ?
150
This car is all wheel drive 🧐 how did this work on the dyno?
This is a FWD model
@@ahcgarage oooh ok gotcha
Hondata?
Waiting for the turbo 6....
👍🏼👍🏼
I wish someone would make a downpipe for the type S
Agreed!!
+10 to 12 HP
What’s the final WHP ?
On the upcoming episode, we will be back on dyno for the result
@@ahcgarage let upcome that episode nooooooow!!!!
I have a 2005 Acura tl with 261000 plus miles l ran the wheels off her literally, starts every day cant beat that car my 2012 Acura tl is my mafia staff car, those cars can't be beat.
👍🏼👍🏼
These need to come with twin turbo as stock...
That would be cool!
What color is that 😍
Apex Blue Pearl
Type r turbo swap?
Not yet
Anyone else peep da MR Em1 to da right?😯
Good eyes
That gen2 teggy in the background tho....
Great catch!
E85
Should of put a intake too
We have much more coming
250whp with that down-pipe, would of got more with catless down-pipe
Agreed, we went with high flow cat downpipe since most states require emission.
is that 240whp or crank hp
Whp, its around 280crank if i am right
272 crank and 240 whp
@@ahcgarage Thanks, I would be very concerned if it was crank.
Lets me guess you guys got mf10s for it.
Right on babu
Type S.
Just 12% drivetrain loss on an AWD vehicle is really low. But then I guess it’s because it’s not a full-time AWD system.
This is a FWD model
@@ahcgarage Oh, that explains it! Thanks.
Then Cadillac shows up with 472 and 668 hp CT4-V and CT5-V for slight more money than 355hp Type-S!
Than in 5 Years You're buying a New Car Because the Cadillac broke Down
@@mannyfresh5909 i had a 2013 ATS4 2.0T with 90,000 miles on it and it had almost 400 lb-ft of torque with a ecu and never had any problems. We traded in 2018 and got more thwnni owed so it was a good deal and a nice car.
We have a CT6 now.
Plot twist it puts down the same power as the base lol
Probably a 30% Gain...🤔
I don’t like the engine sound, will see how the type S sound like. Acura should bring back stick shift on the type S or at least as an option. The car look amazing though.
With an open intake and exhaust, the sound will be enhanced
I went from a 19 3.5 PAWS to a 21 A-Spec FWD; I miss the sound of my V6 but, the 21 2.0T is better in every way.
This damn car need at least 300whp for the price asked. IMO
Facts
Minimum 300
Honda really needs to up their game, Kia has more power than that..
The type s is gonna be close to 400
Add a cold air k&n intake
