Hi all, curious if anyone has tried a more aggressive muffler in place of the center muffler delete straight pipes? I straight piped my Type S but the weird resonance and drone is not really doing it for me. Before I go back to the big ugly stock center muffler I’m curious what my options are.

thanks!

Funtionwerks has an exhaust you have to go to their website and see. There is a list to get on for functionwerks exhaust and the next baych is supposed to be done in Aug. I believe another company callled IMR makes one too.
 
Does anyone in here know someone from PRL? Enough to get a group buy going for their larger intercooler set up? Just got an email from their tech support saying

"We do have plans for an intercooler in the future, but we have a lot of new products in development right now, so unfortunately I don't have an expected release date for this. We had one in for 3D scanning a while back, so we're working on the design periodically."

Im wondering if getting a group buy list going with deposit or payment up front would "help" speed up the development of an intercooler kit or high volume air box kit going. I am a little surprised on how slow parts are coming out for this platform. I would be down to put my name down for intercooler and high volume air box.
 
My understanding when I was in group buys "back in the days", it was to create interest and to start a development process and not speed up a current production.

But you never know, it might work! And a group buy is always good if it meets quota, always a discount involved as well on how that works out.
 
Stock and under 200 miles on it. I have a problem...

Looks like an intercooler is in development at PRL motorsports. They have an air filter drop in offering but I have to have a look and see if the TLX air intake matches the MDX air intake for the intake pipe upgrade.
Tlx intake does not match ours.....mdx.the inlet for the tlx is close to the radiator but the mdx is on the opposite side. I do some company would hurry up though.aside from that, the 112mph cap is horrible,I don't understand, the air sususpension lowers it to the ground,so it should have a higher top mph. Hpw does the 3.5 version have a higher mph then the type s?how?how?how?

Couldn't agree more!
 
Map 3 on 93 haven't explored custom tuning to reach a higher boost number because I won't do that before intercooler upgrade.
I am STILL waiting on my PRL Stage 1 and Charge pipes to be processed yet alone shipped out lol. I did just send them an email asking for an update, I also mentioned if having a group buy/pre order list would help the development of a larger IC kit or larger drop in turbo kit. I am waiting for their response to see what would be the magic number of pre orders to get things going. I will keep everyone updated as best as I can
 
Some hope for the larger IC kit, but that looks likes that about it. I did ask about a larger drop in turbo kit and there is what I got just now from PRL

"Thank you for reaching out! We are working on an intercooler & will do other things as we see fit. Sadly, there is not much demand at the moment, due to limited number of cars sold & no ECU tuning solutions being available for the vehicle. As support grows & solutions become available, we will probably get some more stuff going as we always have new ideas & products in development!

I am waiting for a time line update on the Larger IC Kit
