I asked earlier, but I guess it was overlooked: any combo pricing for the PCD and SCD if purchased together? Deposit Or full amount charged now? Anticipated ship date?

Sorry, ahead of time, if this is a rhetorical question of sorts, but does this "new" flash pro for the '09-10 MY TSX work on the '11-12 yet?

Thank you,

Thank you,
It probably won't work with '11-12. I'm not 100% positive, but I think all it would need is a firmware update in the future to work with the '11-12.

Ok.. Got my PCD today and just installed it this evening. Here are my initial impressions.

- Quality product with excellent welds and fit & finish.
- Easy bolt on install once you get the OE cat and down pipe off
- Noticable oooomph and pull from 3,000 RPM and up. Definitely torquier.
- Deeper exhaust note and has a bit of a "turbo" like sound when you get on it. I attribute that to the valve train noises that are no longer being muffled by the pre-cat.
- For a straight pipe setup, it wasn't that "smelly"
- Is it worth it? A definite YES from me. Can't wait for the my RBC intake manifold to arrive.

And for KillerG... Yes, get this PCD!

Below are some install pics..

Busy weekend with mods and installs:



RX8 getting headers and coil overs


OE pre-cat being removed


PCD in place


PCD from the under carriage


The reason I will need the Hondata. The is an instant extra 50HP that needs to be harnessed and tuned

^^ One of the surprises with this install was I noticed how clean the OE pre-cat and down pipe were. Guess our K24 burns fuel very efficiently which leads to the lack of carbon build up. There's a product called GTA/Viscon fuel enhancer that will aide with combustion efficiency which should in theory help reduce the amount of NOx in the exhaust and in turn make it less "smelly"

LOL.. I know I am not helping but it's a worthwhile mod for the buck. However, if you don't have an impact wrench, be prepared to spend a bit of time trying to undo the rusted/seized bolt at the 2nd cat.

I always use PB Blaster on exhaust nuts and bolts. I just spray a bit on before I jack up the car and the nuts come off like butter.

Does the ceramic coating go on the outside or inside of the down pipe?

I pmed ben about his finances and he sells drugs out of the low rises on the west side of baltimore apparently.

I think ill try to get on this before the price jumps, just want to finish a few exams before I buy, and catch some more feedback, but hey were were off to an excellent start in this thread.

If hondata gets the flashpro out, I wonder if we could end up seeing a reflash option too, and id be damn curious to know how much we can do with a NA k24z3 and some bolt ons

Actually, if anyone taking delivery of these PCDs could do a before and after Dyno thats what I really want to see.

Richie, let us know if you get anyone on the accord side who throws up a chart

So it's $329 + $120 to ship to Australia with UPS?

Ben, did you DIY the install with just jack stands and a trolley jack? No need for the car to be on a hoist? How long did it take you to install it roughly?

Beginning to end, it took me about an hour. I just put my front wheels on ramps as if I were doing an oil change.

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, will we ever get a dyno chart, or is that not a thing that I should wait for?

If I get more details on this..... I MIGHT be able to get a dyno run done but I wouldn't hold my breath because I'm still unsure.

Ok. Seriously. With parts like this being developed I'd certainly hope for a dyno. I completely stopped doing anything at all to my car due to lack of support.. and dyno proven parts. I'm about to take a nice job here in about 5 months after I separate from the military and I would certainly like to know if this part alone is going to be the catalyst for my decision to stick behind Acura and get a supercharger and do it up real nice or go buy a damn GTR and really raise some hell. If I see some support in the form of manufacturers willing to dyno their parts to prove the gains then I may be willing to stick to what I set out to do in the beginning. I think selling a part and waiting for the community to post dyno results is simply wrong. It is only ~$80 for three pulls. Or less. Seriously. Where are the charts?

Sorry if I got on my soap box. But if I can see some proof I'll put one on order.

I'd do a before and after dyno run if they are willing to reduce the price, I'll even have it tuned with the flashpro.

So have you already ordered the flashpro? I know I was one of those that bitched that they wouldn't release it for us because they said stock was as good as it gets. For $700, and the same part number as the 07-08 I'm starting not to trust that'll it'll help at all. Just seems they only released it for the supercharger. I'm still on the fence. If they had released the supercharger and the flashpro a year ago like what was said to happen, I would certainly own one now. Too much bullshit makes me think twice about spending that kind of money on my car. Rather put it towards a Wavac 833A tube amp cuz chick dig tubes too.
