I thought they are developing one for the 99s..

 

The noise level is not affected by this mod.

The design is on paper. No test unit has been produce yet.

 

Please include me in this group buy, if RES ever comes to be.

 

Here is a comparison with the headers. This numbers are for the TL-P and not for the Type S.

 

Damn man, you're making my mouth salivate even more!!!!

Quit posting emails and get these damn things out to us!

I want the RES!

The likelihood of developing a RES for the '99 model is very slim. Doug would make more money by targeting 00-03 models. There isn't enough 99 TL owners that would want it to justify producing RES. That's why I say we're screwed.

 

I would get it for my 99 if it was available!

 

Has this person ever thought of finding an angel investor? They usually give around $50,000-$100,000.

Write up a good business plan and make a few calls. It's quite easy to get capital if you have a solid idea.

All of my businesses were started like that...

 

Wouldn't you know, that you are so wrong. The 99 model manifold has a very similar design to 98+ accord V6, 97+ CL, and others. The RES will actually be design for the 97+ CL and then fit on 99 TL's and accords. This would be a little more expensive, because you would need to buy and extra OEM part.

The current RES works on 00-03 TL, 01-03 CL, including type S

Business plan????? what are you talking about??? It's just a product. No one would give you money to sell a product, that is already done, unless you want to buy it. There is not more investing needed. I understand you are a business man, but please stay out, if you don't know what is going on. Thanks

 

Well, I must say that was quite rude...especially since I was trying to be of some help. I thought this was a NEW product that needed capital for initial production.

God damn...

 

Why is it being developed for a 97CL? Isn't that the least produced car out of the 99TL, 97CL, and 98+ Accord? Any timeframe on when the RES for these cars will be tested?

 

Sorry I apologized.

I was just a little frustrated. Sorry.

 

Because the CL has a different manifold that makes uses of RES. While the the 2000 and up TL also makes use of the RES, we would have to buy a 00 and up manifold for 99's and accords. Too much money...$600 plus. Instead if you make the RES for the 97 CL, and add that part to the 99's and accords, it would only be around $100 plus RES. Get it.

 

which part would us 99TLers need to get and how much is it?

 

I don't know for sure, but it won't be more than $200 for the part. The RES might be cheaper than the 00-03 RES. This is my best guess.

 

Oh thats not too bad then, keep us posted on when it gets made/tested

 

Is the amount on the poll for just a-tl or also a-cl?

 

I sure hope that RES will come out for the 99 aswell, if so and we dont' have to do much to get it, then count me in.

 

Kobe98 - its for CL's too, same engine

 

Bad news

There seem to be enough insterest to get the RES into production, but doug has decided to try and get a different production company were he could run smaller batches (ie 100-200) The company is currently laser reading the dimensions of the current RES and then it will put it into production. I try to get the RES out sooner, but it seems like we are going to have to wait for a couple more weeks. Sorry to share this info with you. I really wanted to see how the RES performs on the track. Hope well.

I do have a little bit of good news, you might see the MMII coming out sooner than the RES for about half of the cost. I'm meeting doug next week to talk more about the MMII.

Thanks for the patience.

 

I was under the impression the MMII and the RES are similar. What's the difference?

 

I don't know much about the MMII, but I will find out later on. The power gains are very similar, but is 2 very different products. Their purpose, location, looks, size, theory, etc are different.

 

will at least the MMII work for us 99ers?

 

To my knowledge it works for almost every new Honda/Acura inlcuding all TL's

 

I admit that I am a born skeptic. I remember folks selling devices that injected water into the carburetor (many of you may not recognize this word but these but these were crude, pre-historic devices used to provide fuel to the cylinders) and claiming increases in power and gas mileage. These claims came with all kinds of purported documentation.

If such devices worked, the inventors would have been able to obtain patents and sell the technology to automobile manufacturers and become instant millionaires. IMHO, the same logic applies today. Can you think of an automobile manufacturer that would not spend a few bucks to license technology that would give them a free 15 hp boost?

How much would it have cost to produce a more efficient exhaust manifold to get at that extra 28HP Comptechs getting with its simple ram horn headers, without a patent???

Manufacturers have other things on their agenda than max power, thats why the aftermarket performance parts companies exist in a billion dollar a year market.

 

I wnat one now. I will prepay to get one.

 

is there any side-effect about this product?
if not i'm in

 

As far as I am aware, it has been tested and no side effects found.
