No description??? What is the benefit of these? Cost? I see you are in Canada. Are they legal in the US for emission checks?
Thank you.

The benefits of the MSD coils are more responsive acceleration, car idles and runs smoother, and if you have a tune it pulls a lot stronger.
that's my review on them so far.

I just installed them and I agree with what Freck82 said.
I've added 1.5 psi in boost and I felt I needed to upgrade the coils. We don't know how the factory coils would respond to the extra boost.

Hmmm, interesting upgrade. Did you have to modify the connector fitting on the coil to fit the Acura harness? Looks like there was an edge shaved off in the pic... not a big deal to do, just curious.

I see what your saying and showing. My connector was a little snug (I did not have to force it) fit but was able to slide the connector all the way on and clicked to lock it in place. All I did was look at the connector from the car and the MSD coil to make sure the pins were lined up and then connected them.

Just got these myself based on your recommendations... and the fact that MSD coils were recommended for boosted cars going back to the 90's for me. LOL

Will let you know how it goes.

pretty straight forward-
connector snapped right on-
