Yeah sorry about the confusion guys. TinkySD is right. Red is stock. Green is Icebox. This is a dyno for a 6MT, not a 5AT.

I took all of the dynos from this thread:
http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25092

Red = Stock
Green = Icebox
Blue = Injen





Stock vs. Injen. That's why you noticed that big loss in low end Dom

Ouch. I could have sworn past dyno's showed no low end tourque loss for the Injen and the 6MT?

it will be several months...possibly 3 as the sports package is hard to come by and there is already a waiting list. For me a non sport is350 was a non starter as they dont' even have HIDs and I am not a big fan of the wood interior on non sport models.

To help in my wait i'm flexible on colors, black, tungsten peral(silver) or smokey granite mica(CG) with the black interior. I've seen them all in person and I think they are great.

Options: sports package, nav and mark levinson audio aka pimped.

Snickity, Snick. What a sweet shifter.

The MT is a completely different highway beast. No need to come out of sixth for any reason it seems. Plenty of power when you need it.

The damn 5th to 4th downshift is a bit tricky but I had it almost down pat by the time I got home.

I'm lovin it.

Just got home. Its dark so I'll take a few tommorrow. Besides its a stock PWP 04 with steelies. Not much to see.

One interesting thing I noticed. The end of the highway I take everyday has rumble strips to force cars to slow. I was interested to see how the PWP compared over those strips to the IBP.

I was surprised but it was alot stiffer. My old car rattled severly and felt loose. This things felt hunkered down and didn't rattle. Same tires BTW.

LOL. Yes, the sun probably heated the dark IBP colour so that the car loosened up over time

Well my PWP has the dreaded Radio problem. I noticed it on the way home from the dealer the day I picked it up when it went from day to night.

on me for not seeing it before I took delivery but I inspected the car during the day. The nice thing is my salesman is dropping off a loaner at my home and picking up my car since he lives close. So at least I won't really be inconvienenced.

Has anyone reported the same problem after having this fixed?

Ya, in my case the radio lights are dim and the HVAC lights are out, buttons only not the display.

The saleman was well aware since its a common problem and I've printed off the Acura Tech Bulletin just to be sure.

Didn't get the extended. Maybe I should have.

This will be covered since I just got the car.
