The PLM (Private Label MFG) High Flow Cats for the 2004-2008 Acura TL are aftermarket components designed to improve exhaust flow, increase horsepower, and reduce backpressure. Here are the key specifications:

Product Specifications:

• Compatibility: Fits 2004-2008 Acura TL, including Type-S and Base models with the J32A3 (3.2L) and J35A8 (3.5L V6) engines.
• Material:
  • Constructed from T304 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
  • Mandrel-bent piping to ensure smooth exhaust flow and consistent pipe diameter.
• Catalytic Converter: High-flow catalytic converters designed to reduce emissions while maximizing performance. They use fewer cells per inch, compared to stock cats, which reduces restriction and allows for improved exhaust flow.
• Piping Diameter: Typically features 2.5-inch inlet and outlet piping for enhanced exhaust flow.
• Performance Gains:
  • Increased horsepower and torque due to reduced exhaust backpressure.
  • Typically, a gain of 5-15 horsepower depending on additional modifications like an intake, exhaust system, or tune.
• O2 Sensor Ports: Comes with oxygen sensor bungs for factory sensor placement, helping maintain compatibility with the stock ECU and emissions systems.
• Direct Bolt-On: Designed for a direct bolt-on installation to factory headers and exhaust systems without the need for cutting or welding.
• Exhaust Note: Provides a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note, especially when paired with aftermarket exhaust systems.
• Weight: Lighter than stock catalytic converters, contributing to overall weight reduction in the vehicle.
• Emissions Compliance: Not CARB-compliant in California and may not pass emissions testing in other states with strict regulations. Intended for off-road or track use only.
• Finish: Polished stainless steel for a sleek appearance and increased resistance to rust and heat damage.

These PLM high-flow cats are popular for enthusiasts seeking to enhance performance, improve sound, and reduce exhaust restrictions on their 2004-2008 Acura TL. However, they may affect emissions compliance in certain areas.
