Mine sounds kind of like a small diesel when its cold. A valve alignment has helped a lot in the past. If its really loud I would check for an exhaust leak.

Mine is noiser at 69,000 miles, than when it was new but not overwhelmingly noisy. Its mosly druring cold weather. I probably could use a valve adjustment but I'm a stickler for using the dealer for detailed engine work & I know they will gouge me on the price.

sounds like valves to me -I noticed you live in Canada, do you drive it hard when the engine is still cold? that can do some serious damage to your valves.
I think the valve adjustment is about $120(U.S.) at the dealer for the 4 cyl about $180 for the 6cyl

right, Which means it has nothing to do with acura in general. its just a lemon. youl will occasionally have the same problems with lots of other known good cars.
