Question Comptech Performance ECU for TLS?

Sup guys I just bought my new TLS a few months ago. I was just wondering if Comptech makes an ECU for the TLS? Or are they planning to make one?

The only thing on my car right now is an AEM cai, I don't know what to do next. I am looking to do exhaust next, anyone have experience or hear about the HKS Draggers or the Comptech Sports? My friend was selling his Apexi N1s but I didn't like the sound it produces. A bit too ricey at higher rpms. I want something that rumbles at idle but not too loud at higher rpm.

Short answer : I doubt it.

Acura has sucked the marrow out of the 3.2L engine already within safe operating ranges.

With a header and hi-flow exhaust, you'll lose even more LOW END TORQUE.

Awesome guys, thanks for the replies. By the way I have noticed most TLS owners put on the Comptech Sports exhaust. Why is this the most popular? And is there a big difference in sound compared to the stock exhaust?

nolimitazns....

the CompTech exhaust is mostly put on to get that stainless Steel look since the entire muffler is stainless steel. No real performance gains... and a slight better rumble.

How exactly would you consider 232 ft/lbs of tq @ 3400 rpms no low end torque?

I think that its more than adequate and, to be honest, fantastic for Honda who's mills aren't known for low end power, period. Its at least on par with most other 3.XL powertrain options offered by other companies. The only motors that will beat the TLS in the low end would be ones with small turbos which spool below 3k rpms. These aren't 5.7L V8's under the hood....

In all Honesty, the main thing about the TLS that absolutely fascinates me is the powertrain. Yeah, the car looks great and will probably never break, but I enjoy the high level of engineering and technology baked into this motor. In fact, I've pretty much taken the top end of it apart just to see for myself some of the components which they advertise
