New RDX owner

Hey guys, some of you may know me from the CL side, had CL-S for many years. I caved in and bought the wife a turbo rdx w/ 14 k miles on it. So far we like it, I especially love the display at night and what not. Anyway I was just curious to what mods you guys were doing with them. The only time I can hear the turbo is when I'm in the parking garage lol.

I'll put some pics up this weekend.. its white w/ black interior and gunmetal wheels.

you can start small with a K&N drop in engine filter, that increases the turbo noise a bit, or go for a CAI from CP-E or K&N

Additional Mods are Hondata ECU, only a FEW exhausts out there, Eibach spring kit brings it down an inch and firms up the ride more so....there arent many mods for the RDX, have to get creative

Hondata is the simplest and quickest very noticeable mod. Not sure if you can find someone that regrets it, even back when it was twice the price.
The first thing I did was the K&N drop-in. I have used K&N since the early 80's, back in my day with my modded VW with the dual carbs. That thing screamed... but I digress. The K&N is good pair with the ECU reflash.
The Reflash actually increases the already 'fun-to-drive' factor and if you want to hear that turbo - you will.

Welcome and congrats on your RDX! I too came from a CL-S (2003) that I had for five+ years. I traded it on a brand new 2008 RDX (June 24, 2008) and haven't looked back once. I love my RDX!

You guys are right, we're definitely limited when it comes to bolt-ons.. but I guess that makes it fun =P
