Mystery Mod
Did anyone ever get it? I saw this on the FAQ page.
What is the "mystery mod" I hear about?
The infamous mystery mod was first introduced by syncivic on acura-cl.com on 8/21/2001.
He did not say what the mod actually was, much to the dismay of the forum readers, but did leak the following information:
It is made by syncivic in Florida.
It will cost about $299
It gives about 10 hp.
It adds about 15 ft lbs of torque.
It can be added in addition to an Intake and headers
It can be installed in 5 minutes with no special tools.
It is NOT an ECU or software upgrade.
It should not affect your warranty.
It should have CARB approval when it comes out.
It will "Look trick"
At the SEMA show, it was revealed to be an upper intake manifold cover that increases the mass volume and resonance to create an increased intake charge.
Since then, the following was known:
It does fit under the stock hood, although they smashed a few hoods during prototype testing.
It's offical name is RES (short for Resonance Enhancement System), although it is still sometimes referred to as the MM (Mystery Mod)
It will be polished aluminum, although it may be in color if demand dictates.
There are 3 separate patents for the RES.
It makes no additional noise.
It does not affect fuel economy.
However, it is not yet availiable to be ordered.
It shows a picture of the mod Click here.
Show's a picture of the cover it replaces.Click here.
So, all in all, just wondering if anybody has it, and if they like it.
Thanks.

Not Asian
Just forget about it. It will never happen. The guy who was trying to produce or make it, disappeared. A couple people have tried to contact him, but he wasn't interested in developing it anymore.
I believe it was a resonator of some sort that would bolt onto the intake manifold.

We definitely need more bolt ons
We probably will never see too many more bolt on mods anymore since the CL got the axe. 
I think it would be nice to have some more manufacters explore how far the type S engine can go with just different bolt on applications. This is just wishful thinking though until they start building more cars with our same engine in them.
