Any ways to boost hp in TSX?

Can anyone give me any information or some ways to get at least 5-10 extra hp in the TSX? Just wondered.

Yeah..an intake is the easiest route to take for some extra hp.. I'm waiting for AEM to come out with theirs before I decide which one to get.

Hondata ECU reflash should also be due soon. If they did their homework, the flash should provide a decent gain in power, especially when combined with a few basic bolt-on performance enhancers.

oh man, i can't wait to put an intake. i might wait until the warranty expires on the TSX, because the sales guy said any tampering with the stock TSX voids your warranty.

Well unless the sales guy had a new law passed in IL, you'll be fine adding an aftermarket intake.

My service guy told me the same thing...basically if they find anything wrong with your engine, they'll try to blame it on the CAI...for metal shavings in the engine, etc. But the rest of your car will still be on waranty

Put head out of window, suck air in; put head out of moonroof facing back, push air out.

I assure you, you'll get major gain in HP!!!

Comptech has done it for their tester, but of course their site is down.

Now if I only I could "re-invent the wheel" as my English 12 teacher told me I would... she put high expectations on me.
