Type S = 4800 (I know)
TLP = 4300 (only guess)

Man I could never go from a Type S to a 99TL. I generally hit 4k RPM off the line everytime. My gas mileage is pretty good on my Type S, but since on the 99's VTEC engages to early, I'd be sucking gas like no tomorrow...well looks like I won't be driving a 99 for a long time, or until I learn how to cool it off the line

GUYS!!! speciall those with 99 TL...at 3800 our cars pick up like 90% of the power and sounds loud..but listen carefully at 4500 (on second gear 'cause 1st revs too fast) and you WILL hear a difference in sound = louder
omg...no flamewar no hatin' just listen

Has anyone heard of a vtec controller jax, jaks or something like that... I seen it on Horsepower TV and can't find the product online or on HP Tv's website...It's a knob that you use to retard the timing of when the vtec kicks in

i have it...apexi's...
anyhows, for those on the 99 who still think vtec kiks in at 3800...go on a 00+ and you'll see how the car starts growling at 3800...but listen carefully at 4500 and you'll notice the difference. maybe not off first gear cause it revs too fast, but second or third and you'll see

I think you're talking about the 2-stage intake manifold runner. It changes with VTEC operation to vary airflow.

I think it is a little hard to tell if it is STOCK.I tried with my 02 Type-S It seems like 4800rpm but unsure yet,i'll try again in 2 day after the headers and mufflers are installed.

what kind of headers,?
intake are you getting, and
where are you getting it installed?
how much did you pay for them ?
how much is labor?
and are you going to get the AEM Pulley?

CT headers
I'll buy intake for sure,but i don't know which one to go for??any suggetion??I install everything at my local acura dealer.it is hard to tell you how much,it is depening what you do,if you have many things to do at one time,the price is negotiable.and unbelieveable.pulley? not now.
