I've been driving my 2000 acura T.L. for about 6 months now... and I really want to start investing in my cars performance but not sure where to start? Is there a priorty of things i should replace first. like aem cai or ice box etc...

 

thats mostly wut this site is about, read it and u'll find all u need!
or search keywords like cia, exhaust ect....

 

Intake, headers for starters. That will run you about 500-600, plus installation.

 

get headers first that is the most restrictive part on our cars(comptech, alphawerks, stones, megan and obx) next would be CAI(comptech, Injen and AEM), then crank pulley(unorthodox racing is the only one you should even bother getting, don't consider cheap imitations) exhaust is you want sound, there isn't much power to be gained from a catback and nothing to be gained from an axleback exhaust. other than that you can get outlaw engineering thermblok spacers to reduce heat soak into your intake manifold and throttlebody which reduces performace after prolonged driving. Then there are other things like the Big 3 wire upgrade, suspension components, lightweight rims, supercharger(4-5k, comptech only, 50whp gain though). Do some searches and you will find a plethora of info. Good luck remember headers are always first because a CAI or pulley won't help much without highflow tubular headers.

 

 

love that shit, honest and true. opinions are like assholes everyone's got one, but my friend tonight your shit don't stink.

 

Well put!!

one question? The thermo spacers have only been around for a little while (two years ...) what evidence do you have the spacer "reduces performace after prolonged driving"? Is that speculation? advice from your mechanic? explain...
