it all depends on your budget

less than $200 i'd say RSB or intake

less than $500 i'd say both above or Hondata

The intake I see being ran the most on here are:
Injen
K&N Typhoon
AEM

I personally have the injen and love it, nice sound. However; intake is more about sound than anything, just like exhaust. A great mod to the TSX is RSB and Hondata. RSB is of course the cheaper of the two and will greatly reduce body roll and understeer and has a high fun factor. Hondata completely remaps your ECU, which boosts power noticably but costs a pretty penny!

Tint would be a good place to start, then a lip spoiler or wing depending on your style preference. I did 15% tint all around, and a gave it a factory spoiler within days of picking mine up. I plan on doing an Injen CAI and other engine mods only after my factory warranty expires.

My first mod was putting tints on my car, followed by an Injen SP1431 cold air intake install. The cold air intake does NOT void your warranty as stated by many different acura dealerships. It only voids the warranty if it is the direct cause of a problem on your engine e.g. Hydrolocking, but if something goes wrong elsewhere in the engine, and the intake is not the cause, then the problem will be fixed under warranty.

My first mod was the throttle body bypass. Under $10.00 and took all of 20 minutes to complete. Next was Injen CAI. Main thing is to have fun doing it yourself.

For my first mod, which I'm installing this weekend!, I bought a Progress Rear Sway Bar.
Hopefully installation goes smooth, I will post this weekend on it.

Let's just call it an "appearance mod" as opposed to a "performance mod".

I would go with the Injen CAI if you were interested in an intake. You can convert it to a short ram or keep it a cold air. PM me if you want one.
