... it just sucks to see people who have distorted views of a company spread negativity where it's not necessary. Customer Service doesn't make a company, it makes it better.
In the end I think you are throwing a company under the bus for what appears to be an overreaction. You've sent me the thread and some other info, but unless there is more to it, I just think it's silly for what it is.
Also, if you think this is bad customer service, try working in the gun industry. There's a ton of friendly people here, just waiting to lose your business.

1. I simply offered the truth and shared my experience with "H..."
2. YOU are the one who PM'ed me wanting the details of my experience with "H..." Now you are trying to throw me under the bus.
3. YOU are the one calling me names, I simply had a bad CS experience.
I am not judging you for dealing with them, I'm sharing my experience and opinion. In fact, this all started with my post here:
YOU are the one who has continued to stir shit up. So either you enjoy the banter, or YOU are making something out of nothing.

do the injectors plug and go? or do we need to modify at all? are you using the 600cc now or the 800cc?
#131
#132
From what I understand they are plug n play, but they need to be re-worked in the tuning in order to actually be effective/useful. 600cc.

Giggity!
Most of my questions have been answered regarding this except one - for the moment. I know not to put much faith in baseline numbers when comparing a before/after dyno run (look to the delta, which is the important number), but I cannot help to notice the drastic difference in user65's starting point in the graph and tsjeff's starting point. Were they using the same dyno with similar conditions? I could see the huge difference in baseline's if the dyno's were different run by different people, etc,, but an almost 40 HP difference on the same dyno in similar conditions raises my brow a little. Any thoughts on this?...Other than your older RDX is a little tired...

That would be the better option, for sure, but I would argue if it is really necessary. COBB uses pre-set calibrations based off popular modifications (I actually thought Hondata did this too) and that functioned as a "good enough" to yield some impressive gains that were also relatively safe. Don't get me wrong, I am all for a professional tune, but in the interest of cost reduction, I would be willing to forego a couple HP and ft/lbs of torque if it meant that I would save a couple hundred bucks in the price and a trip or two to a tuner that is far away.

If you've ever seen cobb dynos with ots maps and custom dyno tunes you might change your mind. I can understand where that thought comes in to save money and "it should be close" comes to some people. But if you don't have a wideband and boost gauge to monitor why bother. A tune is an investment to help your motor last. Every motor is different then the next. Bearing clearance, p2w clearance, valve lash, spark plug life/gap, mileage, turbo life etc... that's why I trust a tune specifically for my car. I don't know your knowledge in cars but I felt the need to fully explain my reasoning for someone who might not know. Might save them a motor down the road.
If I was looking to build my RDX into a 400+ HP racer...then I would look for a custom tune and a whole lot more.
I guess all I am trying to say is OTS can be done well. My Speed3 had gone thru a lot. I drove it pretty aggressively with a COBB tune on it since about 5k miles (along with a couple other bolt ons), as mentioned before it had a hydrolocked engine, and at 106k miles when I sold it, it still ran almost as good as new.

I'm working on a simple mister system that Hondata wants me to test. Basically a hobbs switch, a wiper fluid pump, and some basic misters. I'll be mounting right behind the beginning of the duct under the hood. If it turns out well I'll post the setup in the DIY section.

All tests were done on a dynapack from what I was told. I see the starting point you mention, but only see a potential 10-15 hp difference. His starts at 100, mine starts in the middle of 75-100. Heatsoak was an issue throughout testing so perhaps this might be a factor. Plain and simple the RDX doesn't cool as well on a dyno as it does on the streets.

I'm not sure the RDX is the right choice for a 400hp screemer. Perhaps a 300hp daily "soccer mom" driver...I would rather sink my money into a 911, and not have the extra top weight to lug around.
#152
Agreed, but ~300HP puts the RDX a little closer to where it should be.
#153
Still wish Acura had dropped the K23A1-T into the TSX.
#154
^ with the shawd!
#155
Fuck it. I'm trading my RDX off on a new JGC.
Then we will see who has the bigger gasoline bills.

If I'm completely stock and don't plan on being anything other than that, would anyone spend the extra money for this as opposed to just the reflash? I know one of the base maps is basically the reflash, but are there any other little customizations that would push a stock vehicle beyond the reflash and would they be worth the extra $$
#157
if you dont plan to ever do anything then reflash will be for you.. sure you might tinker with the flashpro and get a couple more hp for it (if you add the injectors)but is it worth the extra 400$+?? i dont think so

Oh yeah, the FlashPro fixes the 2nd O2 sensor so that a defouler is not necessary.
It also corrects the AFR so that the intake can be used.
Rxtreme - mine was jalper pipes I believe. And perfect soup nazi analogy.
Without going into specifics, from what I understand the stock injectors were almost maxed with the mods I have, and would be maxed out with the next mod depending on what it is.

I'm thinking of getting the Flashpro done and have a DP sitting in the garage waiting for an install (can't find someone to do it!), so was going to do the tune first...
