I went a similar route and am going to get the CT header and I also have the Tein Basics. I highly recommend them and they get the job done if you aren't interested in damper adjustment and want to save a little money.

Not to be a wet blanket (though it is something I excel at), maybe you should just enjoy your TSX the way Honda meant it to be for awhile. It's pretty easy to screw up a good thing when you're not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish (or what you're doing) when it come to modifying a car.

if u know exactly what u want then u don't need our advice.

if u love fast cars then u picked the wrong car. u should've went with an evo or an sti.

some bolt-ons & other mods here and there will net u some decent gains, maybe significant gains, but it'll cost u $$$... and u'll still be slower than the 2 cars i just mentioned with those same bolt-ons & $$$ u could be pouring into either of those rides.

plenty of options for header out there:
ct-e
hytech
weapon r
dc
toda
mugen
blah, blah, blah...
depends what ur looking for.

same for suspension:
tein basics, ss, flex, mono-flex, cst
buddy club n+
ht spec ff1, ff2
spring/shock combo
blah, blah, blah...
depends what ur looking for.

i know exactly what im trying to ACCOMPLISH, and thats make my car faster. and i do love fast cars, and i wudve loved an evo or an sti. if i cudve, i wouldve gotten a ferrari. but an evo and an sti are both significantly more expensive that a tsx.

thank you though for the listings on the headers and suspension

TSX + mods will end up costing about the same as a stock Evo/STi and still be far slower.
You picked the wrong car if you want to go fast.

^ LOL

Anyways, you would probably have gotten more serious advice if it weren't for your somewhat ignorant/rude response to Simba, one of the more known and helpful people on this forum. Honestly, if you've done your research, like everyone else said, you would 1) not be asking for help on headers, and probably not mention getting an exhaust since you will get no help by changing out the freeflowing exhaust in the tsx 2) you would have bought a different car haha.

But seriously, if you want to go fast in a TSX, FI is the only way, and still won't be as fast as an actually fast car...If not FI, then I'd say get Hondata asap and be happy.

FYI...STI and EVo are like the same price as a TSX............
