adding a new exhaust will not make ur car faster. it's mostly a cosmetic mod and will net u no more than 1-3 hp. in other words it's a waste of money. if u have the money to spare for a piece of eye candy then go for it but it won't make u faster.

if u want a little extra pep in ur step then ur best options would be to invest in a new intake, header, and a reflash from hondata. that's the least costly and best option in my opinion.

option B would be intake, header, AND 07-08 ECU WITH HONDATA FLASHPRO. definitely more money but u'll net better gains.

The reflash is a reprogramming of your current ECU. You send it in with a key and the immobilizer while this is being done your car will be undriveable until you get it back. Also note that Headers and an intake support the reflash further so you will see even more benefits. Here is some more information here http://www.hondata.com/reflash_tsx_06.html

The reflash and the flashpro are two different engine tuning options.
Reflash:
http://hondata.com/reflash_tsx_06.html

Flashpro:
http://hondata.com/flashpro_tsx.html

There is plenty information on both links including support and contact information should u have more questions as well as possible local dealers that can further assist u with tuning. This is not something u go to a mechanic for. Read the links from top to bottom and contact Doug of Hondata for further clarification/assistance. He's very helpful.

This is the lowest bang-for-the-buck mod for a TSX. We are blessed with a very good exhaust system from the factory. Gains will be minimal.

If you want your TSX to be quicker:
- reflash
- intake mod (simply removing the resonator will help)
- exhaust header
- lightweight crank pulley

Replacing the exhaust would be last on my list.
