Spoon radiator cap
Which is the proper Spoon radiator cap that fits the TSX, since Spoon offers type "D" or "F"?

...and this has nothing to do with performance parts. Moved to main discussion.

Those don't really do anything right? Just look kinda good/better?

It actually increases pressure in the radiator and causes the coolants boiling point to raise thus increasing cooling efficiency

A pressure cap with higher rating is designed to increase coolant pressure to raise coolant boiling point.

Way to copy that off some website. I swear I've read that before somewhere...
wasn't sure if it actually made any kind of noticeable difference though

I doubt anyone would notice the difference of some degrees of coolant temp change looking at the temp gauge.
