I saw the thread and both dynos. My logic tell me to go with DC for Power vs. Money but other people told me that Comptech Header is one piece and it will do better flow and torque.
I can buy any of both because money is not and issue.

I already has Injen CAI and Comptech Short Shifter.

Your opinions

Thanks to all

Dani

my opinion
go for DC sports header, nice power gain, good quality, nice fit

cmf

I'd say wait. The car is still fairly new, and I'm sure companys all over are doing plenty of R&D for the car. Kick back, relax, and see who else is gonna be putting something else out.

Wess

I agree. I can do a lot of stuff to mine too, but I'm waiting for more body kits to come out, headers, maybe euro tail lights, and of course the awaited chip.

Dani

where can i buy ( or find info ) about this!?
thx Wess

Euro tail lights, you gotta be kidding!

Take a look at the cars who have had Euro tail lights, and you'll see that the plastic covers on these cars are slowly drying, becoming milkier, and yellowing out.

You really want to waste money on a purely cosmetic thing that won't even necessarily enhance your car, and be of cheaper quality above it all, something you'll have to replace in 2 or 3 years from now because it looks shitty?

Isn't the TSX an Euro Accord which already came with Euro tail lights? How much more Euro can it get?

Wess

LoL yeah guess your right. Sometimes it gives it a better look, but if there isn't going to be a quality product for it then I might as well stick with the stock tail lights.
There isn't any info on it yet, but I'm sure they'll be releasing them soon.

Euro tail lights arn't my biggest concern and I really don't care if they make them for the TSX or not. The car looks good with the stock tail lights anyways.

the awaited chip? did i miss a HUGE thread somewhere? or do you mean the hondata reflash?

Dani

that's what i thought...i asked where to buy (or find info) about this b/c i havent seen anything related to our TSX's tail lights, not meant that i am gonna change them

accsuperstar

there is a group buy on the DC header. please check out the thread:

I personally also advise DC sport combination header+exhaust that are alreadx avaiable.

If you go on their site they tunned Accord for 26HP with three modification (intake+header+exhaust)

outersquare

You almost certainly won't see those gains on the TSX. The accord doesn't have the high end VTEC, so the response to mods are different. If you look on the DC sports dynos, the gains are largest at redline for the accord, but that is about when vtec takes over on the TSX.

bmencig

outersquare,

I have europe version of Accord, that's the same as TSX one...

accsuperstar

the DC testing was done on a USDM accord with the k24 that only puts out 160 HP stock. its not as tuned as the k24 that we get in the tsx or your euro accord thus it gives bigger gains.

bmencig

accsuperstar

BTW...By your opinion what is cause for difference between
acura TSX and Europe Acord 2.4 because fo tech specs ? 190 Horse powers on europe specs. and 200 on TSX one ? I've checked compression ratio and t's the same on both ? Is it possible because of ECU mods ?

Someone today also told me that could be also difference because American "HP" are higher than Europe one ?...But I don't think so....

accsuperstar

as for the difference between the tsx and euro accord i have no idea.

but i was just saying that the DC accord that they tested was the lower powered USDM accord w/ k24

ctsport

I would go for the Comptechs!

21_in_az

why? the dc's have been proven to have more hp/tq than the comptechs, and are lower in price........?

jiggaman

he's a noobee.

Dan Martin

The sold me on the Comptech :P

jiggaman

comptech :wackit:

21_in_az

hahaha, so....comptech sucks monkey jizz? is that what your saying?

jiggaman

:flamer: comptech

cmf

For the money you pay, the gains are not there...basically paying big dollars for a stock replacement part.

bmencig

I agree with cmf...I had s2000 and Comptech is working on like "cheap" Mugen without extra gains. I'd prefer go to DC Sports/Fujitsubu

jmathew34

does fujitsubo make headers?

i know they make exhaust systems; fyi..if you are interested in the legalis R for the tsx we are getting a group buy price of $800 shipped. check out the thread: http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...?threadid=7551

cmf

They do make a header, but not sure if one is available for our car yet. Actually, I think there is one, it's a matter of getting it. Phase makes one too. Not sure about gains from all that though.

SAZABI

They don't make header for every car. The way they do it is design, make one prototype, test. If it is not worth it, they won't put it in production. That's what I read from a magazine.
