Maurice Compton yes. if you want to delete the Catalytic Converters, you need to get your car tuned or else you can destroy your car. You can still delete the mufflers and resonators without getting a tune, but anything after the catalytic converters, you need a tune.
There’s a little bit of drone but it’s not annoying to me and I’ve heard other tl exhaust that arnt as loud and still have more drone but it will def be more quiet but might sound raspy, the dynomax was really what gave it that deeper note
Jason McNamara only took out the 3rd cat so no check engine lights after install. And there is some drone but it’s a good sound and can make it loud when you want to.
Any issues after deleting the 3rd cat? CEL? I have this same exact set up but have all my cats and it’s a little more quiet than yours. I want to have it done.
no check engine lights no issues definitely needed to replace it after I got a good look at it after it was off and it helps a lot better with the flow and doesn’t sound restricted anymore and even pops when downshifting
@@UA6MAX got mine deleted today def sounds way better at like 2800-4k it has that Z like sound. Mine is way quieter at idle and low rpms than you’re though. Hmm
@@MikeMoKnowsThoseHos cold start is about normal not too loud but when its warmed up the idle is noticeable but I had the volume up in the video so it sounds louder than it really is
I started out with the stage 3 and I thought it was just too quiet. after taking out the rear mufflers it made a big difference but adding the third cat delete just added a more aggressive noice and i don’t regret it at all.
I have an 08 TL w/ all 3 mufflers out and the dynomax resonator replacement and it has the worst drone on the highway cruising anywhere 80 mph+ or when it’s at 2,000 rpm. Besides that it’s very bearable.
@@TomTom-j4d All you have to do is buy dynomax bullet resonator and takenl your car to muffler shop and get them to straight pipe it and ask them to replace the old resonator with the dynomax res
I have RV6 PCDs & j-pipe withe the same setup but I still have the rear mufflers. I’m getting a lot of rasp (I presume from the PCDs). Do you think I should add a second resonator or delete the rear mufflers to solve the issue?
it would be like replacing the third cat with the rear mufflers sound wise it would prob sound about the same and it will be much less or no drone at all
There's a bunch of comments asking this but it was around 300-400 after I got the setup together, mid-muffler replaced with straight pipe and resonator delete replaced with dynomax resonator was $100 which I was rocking with for a while but sounded too quiet for me. Then the rear muffler delete was $120 and the third cat replaced with a straight pipe was $100 but was very hard to find a place that would do it so I didn't mind spending the extra money but if your able to do it all at once you could prob get a shop to do it for no more than $300. Hope that helps!
I didn't know it could pop until I was messing with downshifting one day and at 2500-3000k ill tap the gas pedal slowly while decelerating and it will pop only on command. Also if you have an auto like mine, put it in L and go up to 3k and decelerate and it will do the same thing as long as you tap the blip the throttle slowly and once you get used to it you will be doing it with muscle memory, which I prefer since I can make it pop when I want to and when I'm pulling up to a meet ill be having necks broken lol
I'm mad late with this reply, but I've done the exact same thing but with PCDs on a 07 Type S. It sounds horrible. The rasp puts civics to shame, but at least it hauls ass now.
So I have been looking for a good sound outta my TL and this is it....Perfect! My question is are there any sensors to be concerned about..... Also I order tips with an inlet of 2.5. I wonder if I should have gone bigger for fitment. 06 Base btw.... Thanks!
there are no check engine lights because I only took out the third cat, and a inlet of 2.5 and an outlet of around 3.5-4.5 inches would work fine with the 04-06 bumpers.

Kraigs Willey I started off with the stage 3 exhaust. Which costed me $100 which was the mid muffler and resonator delete. the muffler was replaced with a straight pipe and the resonator was replaced with a 24215 dynomax bullet resonator which was around $50 on Amazon. and after a couple months I took out the rear mufflers which was $120. And just recently took out the 3rd cat and replaced it for $100. If you get it all done at the same time the price will be cheaper but your looking at around $300-450

How is the rasp like 🍿
does it have a lot of drone on the inside? like the exhaust and love the car. it’s clean.
So you gotta buy 3 , 2.5 inch straight pipes? Is there a certain length. Which ones you cop ?
i payed a shop to do it so they supplied the piping but it was 2.5.
Is the 3rd cat the one on the bottom of the car? Next to the Down pipe?
I live in North Carolina as well, how does your car pass for a inspection if you have a cat delete?
Wondering the same
since only the 3rd cat was removed and not the primary cats, the check engine light stayed off and there’s no smog here
how bad is the drone thinking about doing this to my 04 3rd gen TL
Sounds dope bro! I got a 2008 TL type s.. you think this set up will sound nice on that?
prob sounds even better on a type s
@@UA6MAX what all did u do to the exhaust
Is that the dynomax race bullet resonator 24215?
Yes
So u did j pipe and all mufflers and resegnator
so this is 3rd cat delete along with mid and rear muffler delete?
ay brodie did u replace the pipe or is the pipe the stock one jus straight piped
Would it sound the same if I kept the resonator stock? And is there any drone in the cabin while cruising?
There’s a little bit of drone but it’s not annoying to me and I’ve heard other tl exhaust that arnt as loud and still have more drone but it will def be more quiet but might sound raspy, the dynomax was really what gave it that deeper note
Sounds good bruh 👍 an I see u from NC 💪
What all did you do to it
The best sounding one yet 🔥‼️
Where did you get the tail lights from
there DEPO tailights on ebay
Did you remove the 2 mufflers where the exhaust exits also?
yea i did the two rears and the middle one. 24215 sounds right
what is the inlet for the dynomax??
is it 4” or 2.5”
TL’s looks so much like a more and improve civic.
just a v6 accord🤷🏽♂️
Would it make a big difference, if I used straight pipe instead of a resonator?
U will get tons of rasp. Definitely stick
With a Dynomax res.
with the res 24215 and 24235 have a difference in sound when the 3rd cat is deleted i got 24235
Do you mean the 3rd cat as in after the resonator?
He means the one right after both headers merge, there is 1 in each header and a third right when they become one pipe
Is it raspy at all? It can be hard to tell through video.
its not raspy at all, sounds really aggressive vs the other exhausts ive heard from TL's when they get too loud
What wheels are those?
ESR SR08
Hey bro did you delete both resonators? Or the first or second?
Love the sound bro! This is what I was looking for and will be doing. You still like the setup? Also any check engine lights from this setup?
Jason McNamara only took out the 3rd cat so no check engine lights after install. And there is some drone but it’s a good sound and can make it loud when you want to.

Is it really loud when just cruising around town?Have you gotten pulled over for it?

Theone Fields if it wasn’t for my dynomax resonator it would be really raspy but I would also recommend a rear muffler delete
UA6MAX I went to the shop that did my work and said they found a pinhole where they worked on it but refused to fix it because of my cat deletes.
How much quieter you think it’ll be if I did this minus deleting the rear mufflers?
it would be like replacing the third cat with the rear mufflers sound wise it would prob sound about the same and it will be much less or no drone at all
