Default 08 TL Type S Cat Delete

I've had my TL-S for a few months now and I've got to say I'm very satisfied with it. However the stock exhaust note leaves alot to be desired. Long story short I'm looking for a test pipe for my TL. Anyone know where I can acquire said part(s)? Also can I expect the dealer to claim I voided the factory warranty from doing this?

Why would you want to produce a bunch of pollutants in the air for maybe 4-6 hp if that?

I guess you are going for sound and since thats the case get some louder mufflers or get a cut out welded into your b-pipe.

My carbon footprint is far from my first priority. And I'm not looking to get a cut out. Just test pipes.

if im not mistaken the 1st and 2nd cats are part of the headers, so i think u need to get new headers, or i could be wrong, u could always just take a pipe and hammer to them and just beat the cells out, but then if u wanted to go back to cat ud need to buy new ones.

This has been discussed tons of times on AcuraZine. Pre-Cat deletes are becoming pretty popular. You can actually see about a 15-20 hp gain from these.
