try to do some custom work. get an intake and have the throttle body ported and polished and have the intake manifold port matched. that should give some decnt gains and should cost less than $600. you can also have a custom j-pipe made. a few accord guys have done it with pretty good results.

Can't happen!

That will be the only thing that will give you the bang you seem to looking for, but will cost a pretty penny--for the 2G TL it was $4500.

No headers, and there likely won't be because of the design of the stock headers.
Intakes only add a few hp, except if you believe AEM's much delayed design (it's been almost a year!) which theoretically adds 10-15 hp or whatever it was.

So, just enjoy your sporty luxury sedan and cruise until more parts come out.
Unless they intend to use some sort of forced air induction system this can't happen. You can't gain more than what's lost in the stock system. I haven't done a design study but I'll bet the biggest gain you can find in our intake is from a low restriction filter, and that's not much of a gain.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, " An after market CAI is a waste of money on the 3rd gen TL. Save it for a car that does not have a CAI system as original equipment."

Side note: I raced an RSX last night and got smoked. I had him off the line by 1/2 car until about 60. By 80 he had completely passed me. Do you think it was stock? I didn't think they were that fast. It did sound very "thoaty" so I think he at leat had an intake, exhaust looked stock (I had a good look at that unfortunatly). I tried to ask him at the next light, but he was kind-of a jag about it. (I have a 5at)
I currently have an RSX-S (for sale) and did some minor modifications. It doesn't take much to liven them up. With just a cold air intake and Hondata ecu reflash I was running consistent 14.2 to 14.3 in the quarter mile and my best was a 14.1 @ 99mph and that was my first and only time ever to the strip. My friend had the same setup at the time and ran a 14.0 et on stock tires.
