I just bought my 05 TSX last week. It's auto, for my wife. What are the most common reasonably prices upgrades in performance I can make? I don't want Folgers can mufflers or the like. I want it to seamless. Also nothing that will affect the warranty. All help appreciated.

 

well if you want mods for performance, more likely than not it will affect the warranty but you could always get with the dealer before installing. As for the most common ones, usually a SRI/CAI or maybe a header?? Hondata reflash perhaps?

 

performance-modding your wife's ride ?

 

I have my own toy, 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Offroading is my #1 fetish. Now time to play with her car. (she will allow it).

 

Wont the service dept see the reflash?

 

here's some reasonable upgrades off my head, definitely improve the handling

acura's a-spec suspension
comptech's rear swaybar
new tires
front brembo blank or powerslot rotors + hawk hps pads

 

Comptech Swaybar would be my first choice. $115 would not be better spent.

 

I want a quiet intake. A little louder would be fine but I don't want it screaming.

 

Check out the Comptech Icebox. Anything louder would be uncivilized.





Seriously though, the Icebox is the quietest of the aftermarket intakes. You don't get the HP that Injen could provide but you get a good improvement in throttle response. You don't hear it if you're driving Miss Daisy but open up the throttle and you get a nice, deep tone. Search for "icebox soundclip" and you'll be able to hear it for yourself.

 

Comptech swaybar and icebox, it'll enhance the handling and performance by a notch.

 

mod? i have a list of all the mod that i want, but i will not do, saving those money instead toward my next car few years down the road! tsx is great car! but it is what it is, limited by design! saving my money for my future 300+ HP car!
