Here is the response I got from Hytech:
And my response to them:
Thanks for the reply. Do you know when you will be at a point when you’ll be ready for dyno testing? I’d really be interested in seeing those results.

We will have Hondata's TSX in here on Friday to do just what you asked. Keep in touch as to when they will be available.

It will take a few weeks to do the prototype system. Then Doug at Hondata will do the dyno testing and tuning.

EDIT: Wait, are you talking about the Toda or Hytech?

OK got a semi response from SMS. Here is the mail thread I have with them so far.
Start at the bottom of the mail thread obvioulsy.....

No, but we have a few thousand members of the TSX board. I’m sure if you checked on the board for anyone that was interested, you could find a test car. I’m a member of the Acura TSX community on Acurazine.
https://acurazine.com/
There is a thread in there about the Toda header that was under development. I asked if anyone had looked into the SMS or Hytech header. No one had so I started researching here. You should pop in to the board if you have not already. You could get a ton of feedback from TSX owners.
Thank you for your response.

Please note that all orders would need to be placed with us directly. As this is a small custom batch, orders cannot be placed through our dealers. We need a minimum of 10 pre-paid orders.

Any update here?
Is there a formal list going? If so... count me in. What I pose to the moderators is a favor to us desperate ones seeking the minnimum number of 10 folk to go in on this buy. Lets say... post a list as a sticky for a few weeks to get this some attention... see if we can't hit that magic number.
Here is the email that spawned this search for this thread...

Hello,
Thank you for your e-mail and interest in TODA Racing. We don't have any
plans to produce the CL9 (TSX) exhaust manifold. A prototype was made for
the Japanese CL9, and it was successfully test fitted on the American TSX.
It's a 2 piece system that comes with a CAT delete pipe. There are no plans
to go into production with this product due to the high estimated price
($1,300) and very low demand for a product in that price range.
We can do a small production run for serious buyers, but we'd need a minimum
of 10 customers who are willing to pay in advance and wait for a 3 month
production.
Best regards,
TODA Racing USA/AKH Trading

I wish there was a way to get the attention of every TSX owner for just 30 seconds. 10 is a very small number compared to the total number of TSX owners out there.

Not everyone will spend $1300 on a header when there are cheaper alternative out there that would probably make almost as much power. And on top of that, you have to buy an aftermarket cat for it. So that is $1500 spend on a header that may be make 5 more whp than a $300 DC one. The real baller will get it, but for most ppl, they may not want to spend the $1200 for the extra 5whp and the Toda name.

sorry for all the questions it's just that myself and others have been in touch with toda and hondata(they have the 1 and only test header for the tsx) and it seems pretty tough to get the header.

The header i got is made for the CL 7 and it $1500 for it i had to buy the JDM euro r cat to have this fit on the tsx. Reason i bought the cat is both the O2 sensor bugs are on the cat. There are no o2 sensor bug on the header.

yep... now it's just a matter of finding some dynos ... or at least finding more out about their design. The inclusion of a high flow cat on the mugen is winning me over atm, but then again i think the toda may be cheaper? i'm finding out mugen pricing from my local car shop atm
