There was a supercharger for the 2nd gen. If you think people complain about torque steer now! I believe it pumped about another 50 ponies. The car converted most of that power into wheel smoke but once it launched it pulled like a banshee! I really feel the TL is probably has as much power as you'll ever want in FWD car.

People didnt want to SC there 2nd gen because of the tranny issue... I think SC sales would be up for 3rd gen because of the better tranny...

Keep in mind who their (Acura) target audience was for the 1st and 2nd Gen TL considering the price and design. I personally was looming on the 2nd Gen, but decided to wait (I didn't like the limited headroom).
IMHO, Comptech did not do very good on pushing (read PR) the kit either. They did better with the Teg's and S2000 products.
I think Vortech's biggest gain in the import market was their rep who frequented the message boards and go the info out their. I don't recall a time Comptech did such a thing. I guess they're too good for it.
Oh and Skeedatl... retard... the timing that is. Higher compression? Retard the timing for the power adder. Won't be much on the PSI side, but will help.
You gotta believe man, you gotta!

called - they said that the headers couldn't be possible because they're welded into the exhaust manifold(?), he said he imagines the intake to be out in 3-4 months, and the exhaust to be available in less than a month and a half.

I wonder what the tips on the exhaust will look like. Most likely round i'm thinking.. but it'd be cool if they cud make tips that fit the rear bumper style exhaust opening..

You cannot have headers in this vehicle. The exhaust manifold is for all intents part of the engine; the manifold is cast into the engine block.
Sorry, no performance boosters there.
