New member purchased first mods

I'm a new member and would just like to say hello to everyone on the board. For over a year I have been trying to decide on whether to get a used TL or a new V6 accord. I decided to listen to my heart, and I am now searching for a 2000/2001 SSM 3.2TL in good condition. About 30 min. ago I made my first purchase from ACP. I ordered a silver aem cai with by-pass valve, and a chrome Neuspeed strut tie bar. Can anyone tell me how much horsepower Cai and headers would give a tl-p?

Congrats on your decision to buy the TL. You will not be disappointed. Plus it's more powerful than the V6 accord.

Cai = ~5-10 hp
Headers = ~15-20 hp

Is that at the wheel or at the crank? There is a difference.

You bought aftermarket parts BEFORE getting the car?

I am 100% sure that i am going to get a TL. Buying a few parts before i get the car will not hurt anything, it will only make me want the car sooner. I hope they locate my car soon.

What service are you using to locate a car for you ? Did you just let dealers know what your parameters are ?

Obviously a direct effect of browsing this board. As I've said before, I wanted to add stuff to my car as soon as I bought it because of this place.

Welcome, J.T.!
