im so not up to date on 3G TL platform since i sold mine 2 years ago and never looked back.. but as far as i remember, it's like intake/j-pipe/pulley.

someone else is going to chime in to give you more detailed advice.

and in the meantime, you should check out our TL section. Good luck.

varnerj80

you can add a jpipe.
which is apart of the exhaust.

the stock jpipe is restrictive.
replacing it with Richie RV6 V3 jpipe will yield the best gains. ABOUT 15hp.

I have this installed and was my first mod. it gave me what I was looking for; a little boost on the top end.

I bought mine at $470 when it came out new in March of 2010.
Richie (RV6) has deals all the time.

+1 on j-pipe. That's the best bang for your buck.

If I were you, I would just add a RSB, intake, j-pipe, and a cat back exhaust. Then call it a day.

Is it a 6MT?

Stickers. Lots of stickers. Each sticker adds 8-10 whp. The AcuraZine sticker adds 12 just by itself.

What the rest said:

j-Pipe
Catback
Intake
Pulley.

IMO, the j-Pipe is probably the one that is worth it.

If I were you. I'd stay away from crank pulleys.

^whys that?

NIGHTEHAWK

J-pipe+Pre-cat delete or High flow precats+catback=around 30whp, I read this in the performance section.

ACON

The lighter pulley causes you crank to wiggle a little bit, and when you install them you should get your crank balanced.

^internally balanced.

you will have no problems with the Stock Diameter light weight pulley.

ACON

My, bad, its mostly the underdrive pulleys. The crank pulley should be ok. I suppose.

ACON

Sorry, dont mean to bring this back up but, it does mess with the harmonic balance of the crank shaft.

LOL! No offense ACON but HT is not someplace I would regard as a good source of reliable information.

This has been beat to death on here. Stock sized pulley should cause no issues.

ACON

None taken. True, very true.

OP I would:

Intake (150-ish) options: AEM/KNN/etc
Throttle Body Spacer (75-ish) options: P2R
PCD/HFC: ($300-500) options: ATLP/RV6
Jpipe: ($500) options: ATLP/XLR8/RV6
Exhaust: ($700-1200) options: Greddy/ATLP/XLR8/RV6/Custom

All these mods should yield you about 50-60 to the crank....30-35 to the wheels for ~$2200

If you feeling greedy for more:
Lightweight Stock Crank Pulley: ($300-ish) Options: UR
Ported and Polish Intake Manifold + Runners: ($500-600ish) Options: P2R
Bored Throttle body: ~$150 in labor
Engine Mounts: (~$300) Options: Innovative
