Engine Cover
I don't know if any words were said about the difference in engine covers, but I have noticed that the 99 TL's have a different cover over the intake manifold. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems as thought the intake manifold is a little different also.
The 99's look like the intake manifold has these pipes outlined, while the 00'+ have a cover without any pipe outline. I hope you guys know what I am talking about.
Another point I wanted to make is that the V6 Accords have the same looking engine cover as the 99's.

Yeah I noticed that a meet. We have that silver insert and not a solid black cover. Looks pretty cool IMO. Plus our cover does not extend over the throttle body and air intake, so the AEM CAI will fit better.

99 does look cooler, but the 00-02 in fact have a revised intake manifold. While delivering the same power, torque develops at lower RPM than before, resulting in improved drivability and acceleration.
That, plus the extra gear (5-speed vs 4 for the 99), make the newer models a little quicker. Shame it doesn't look as nice, though...

). Yea, there is a revised intake manifold. Good thing I got a 00' with the 5spd tranny. ------------------
