From what I've seen, it should fit. It is just taking out the stock box and piping and replacing it with their box and a horn inlet. Question is, what is the mm ID of your intake tube at the stock box?

I've measured the diameter of the box tube (where that rubber pipes enter) - and it was round 98 mm - I hope I've measured this right.
Is it the same on TSX ?

At the neck of the box ( see in the pics) the diameter is 98 mm (without the rubber pipe) and 100 mm (with the rubber pipe).





Or try to see the pics this way:

It will fit -- one of those parts that Honda Accords can share with Acura TSXs.

It all looks the same as our K24 setup, so I'd give it a go.

So, finally I put my hands on an Icebox kit, installed today.
The sound of intake increased just a little bit, but just over 4000 rpm , I have to really pay much attention to notice it.
And I notice something like a sucking noise round 4500 rpm and after only a little bit noise increase up to 7000 rpm.
I had to stop the radio to hear all this.
Performance increase, to early to mention, but it looks like it responds quicker in acceleration.
I did not remove the front bumper, removed the only and splash guard only.

So, I can confirm it fits fine de 2.0 engine just fine !

The Honda Accord Type-S comes with a K20 in Europe? I thought it came with the K24 that the CL9 does. (… or is Dinoc lying with that Type-S badge on his grille?)

There are Type-S with k20 also (check the UK Honda brochure if you like).

But mine it's an Executive, and since I have the sport suspension and many other mods (see my signature) ,
I thought I could afford to put a Euro-R grill and a Type-S badge on it,
like you guys badge your TSXs with Euro-R badge ) is this a crime ?
