Need top 3 performance tips
My apologies if this has already been posted, but I'm looking for the top 3 (or so) performance tips for my 2001 TL. Everything I have right now is stock (no mods), and I'm looking for top items that would increase performance (HP) more than anything else. Also, it would be great to know (if possible) if suggested items have warranty implications.
Many thanks, guys.

how about supercharger, headers, and exhaust?
warranty issues? i dunno.. i'd not cross my fingers on keeping much of your powertrain warranty issues after that...

Headers must be installed at Acura by a certified mechanic in order for your warranties to be valid.
As far as intake, your e gonna have to put it on yourself and hope for no problems. Ive had mine for 2 years... no problems.
If one does occur due to your intake your gonna have to take it off and pretend that you didnt have one
(oH bTW F*cK Acura Dealerships)
Any mechanical or electrical failures as a direct result of aftermarket parts will void your warranty.
Lets say you hydrolock your engine. Your warranties on suspension and everything else is still valid... Just not your powertrain.... Get it?

Wheels and Tires!
Say what??
Depending on what you are after, many people over look the fact that tires and wheels not only help handling and looks. But the right combination of traction, diameter, tread width and weight has a direct impact on your 0-60 and 1/4 times.
Case in point, check out my 1/4 mile times in my sig and all I did was add lighter weight wheels and tires, and paid close attention to those other factors.
Matter of fact, I posted the 2 and 3rd fastest times that night and everyone else had either headers, CAI, etc.
Just check out the Cool Video between two TLS out on either the TLS or TL thread. Inferno dynoed 23 more HP, but we were running close all night long with mine actually posting better times and winning 3 out of 4 races.
So while this mod does not add HP, it reduces the amount of HP you lose with heavier wheels and tires, plus the improved traction. THe result is a better time.

Sorry, forgot this is the TL forum and not the CL forum that attachs a signature file. Anyway -
14.659 in the 1/4 with no performance mods.
